Devara Part 1 Movie Review: Junior NTR in double role… How much attention will ‘Devara’ be able to attract?

Junior NTR, Saif Ali Khan, Jhanvi Kapoor starrer film ‘Devra’ has been released in theaters today. There was a lot of craze among people about this film. Directed by writer-turned-director Koratala Siva, this film has not lived up to the expectations. From the story of the film to its screenplay and dialogues, there are flaws in everything. Shiva could not succeed in making Junior NTR into ‘Bahubali’, although his hard work is definitely visible in the film. From the poster of the film itself, people had guessed that Junior NTR is playing a double role in the film.

First of all let’s talk about the story of the film. The story of the film is based on 4 villages which are situated on the sea coast, through which ships going towards ports pass. Earlier these villages were known for the protection of their king, but after the country got independence from the British, everything changed here. With time, generations changed and then the people of these villages became pirates. Devra lives in one of these villages, who initially helps a gang smuggling illegal weapons, but later when he realizes that it will harm his village, he stands up against it. .

When Devra tries to follow the right path, some scoundrels from the rest of the village stand against him. In the film, you will see Shruti Marathe in the role of Devra’s wife. At the same time, Saif Ali Khan will be seen playing the role of villain as ‘Bhaira’.

However, looking at Saif in the film, it seems that Shiva has not given any special treatment to his character. The way a villain is presented on screen in South films, that flaw was seen in Saif. From Saif’s dialogues to his look and getup, there is nothing special.

Jhanvi Kapoor is also in the film. You must know this. It is good to see Jhanvi as the attraction in the film. In the film, you will be able to see him in the role of Thangam, who is the lover of Devra’s son Vardha. First Devra and then his son Vardha… Due to the double role, Junior NTR is seen more on screen in the film. Shiva tried his best to make Junior NTR ‘Bahubali’ in the entire film, but he could not succeed in it.

The story of the film looks very weak. Nothing new is visible. Also the screenplay and dialogues are not such that they can compensate for the weak story. Even the story of the film is not over yet, its second part is also yet to come, but after watching the first part, the audience will hardly want to go towards its second part.

It is not that there is any deficiency in Junior NTR’s acting. His hard work is clearly visible in the film. Talking about acting, the rest of the star cast Saif Ali Khan, Jhanvi Kapoor, Rameshwari, Prakash Raj, Shruti Marathe, Abhimanyu Singh have also done justice to their characters.

Inspired by SS Rajamouli, Shiva has definitely tried to do something big, but he could not succeed in it. Yes, you may like some songs like ‘Chuttamalle’ in the film. Well, you can watch this film for entertainment, although you cannot expect much from it. 2.5 stars to the film from my side.
