Shahid Kapoor's film 'Deva' earned what was expected from it on the first day of its release. Released in theaters on 24 January 2025, the film started well with an advance booking of Rs 1.67 crore. The film did a good collection on the first day and has become the second biggest opening Bollywood film of 2025. Shahid Kapoor's role as a mad cop is getting praise from the audience. In such a situation, the film's earnings are expected to increase further over the weekend.
Shahid Kapoor has returned to the big screen after almost a year. His last film 'Teri Baatein Main Aisa Uljha Jiya' was a romantic comedy, which proved to be a hit. This time Shahid is seen in a different avatar. Pooja Hegde is also with him in the film. Although the film's collection on the first day was average, the film started better than expected. On Friday, an average of 10.24% seats were occupied by the audience in the show of 'Deva'.
According to the report of Sacnilk, 'Deva' has collected a net of Rs 5 crore on the first day. The budget of the film is Rs 85 crore, and for it to be a hit, the earnings need to increase over the weekend. Like Shahid's previous films, 'Dev' is also completely dependent on word-of-mouth. Apart from 'Sky Force', there is no other big film in theaters at the moment, which 'Deva' can benefit from. Deva is an action-thriller film starring Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde along with Pavail Gulati, Kubra Sait and Parvesh Rana in important roles. The story of the film is about a mad police officer who solves a case but loses his memory in an accident.
