Pooja Hedge plays Dya Sathaye, a reporter who is ACP's love interest.

Deva's theatrical performance

Deva initially received mixed reactions from critics after its theatrical release. While many praised Shahid as a cop, some were displeased with the screenplay of the film. Many also did not like the climax. The film performed fell flat at the box office as well.

Internet reviews Deva

While the film could not bring many audience to the theatres, social media is filled with audience reviews from those who could finally watch Deva on Netflix.

Taking to X, a user wrote, “Why would a director dumb down his own acclaimed work just for the heck of it? #Deva is an unnecessary remake with @shahidkapoor who seems to be never coming out of his Kabir Singh hangover & @hegdepooja whose track is as unwanted as a comb for a bald person. All smoke, no fire [sic].”

Another user reviewed the film in a post: “#Deva Shahid Kapoor is terrific in 1st half and in 2nd half went silent. Rest cast are OK. Dev A felt like mass cinema. Dev B is like cop investigation drama. Didn't liked it overall. BGM is Good. Cinematography (approved emoji) [sic].”

“Watched it last night finally! Might have a lot to say about the story of the film but some other day. For now this ranks right on top in Shahid's Best Acting CV. What an incredible performance and he just keeps getting better and more flawless [sic],” added one more.
