Devara Part 1 Review
Devara Part 1 could have been an extraordinary film. The film Devara had a new and interesting subject and story. However, there are quite a few faults in the film.
The run time for Devara Part 1 is too long. The movie is almost 3 hours long and fails to entertain viewers for that long. There should have been a comic relief. But Devara completely focuses on Jr NTR’s dual character of father and son. Also, the film needed a 20-minute trimming.
Saif Ali Khan is a total waste in the film. He is not exploited well. He has the lead role as the main antagonist but in the film, his character takes the back seat. His character should have been more fearless and audacious.
Jhanvi Kapoor was announced to play the female lead in the film. Everyone went to theatres expecting to see more of Jhanvi Kapoor and Jr NTR. But Jhanvi Kapoor is seen in an extended cameo appearance. She just has a 15-minute cameo with two songs. Instead of superfluous songs, there should have been a comedy sequence featuring Jr NTR and Jhanvi Kapoor.
Jr NTR justifies his role. He essays the dual role of father and son. For the father role, Jr NTR did full justice to his character. He looked amazing. His sequences were solid. But Jr NTR’s portrayal of the son character was a big letdown.
Devara Part 1 is directed by Koratala Siva. The writing of the film is weak, the editing is decent and the screenplay and direction miss the mark. The climax is puzzling at times. The film gets exhausting as the film progresses. Though the visual graphics and VFX of the film are brilliant.
Devara Part 1 is available to watch on Netflix in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada languages. The film will be available in Hindi soon.
Devara Part 1 has received mixed reviews and hasn’t achieved extraordinary business at the box office. The budget of the film is over 300 crores. Though the makers have recovered the budget but audience’s perception regarding the film will worry the makers.
Devara is a two-part film. Devara Part 2 is confirmed by the makers. But will they go ahead with the second part? Devara Part 1 has not lived up to expectations and not many are interested or waiting for the second part.
Fans of Jr NTR and audiences on social media have rejected Devara Part 2. Jr NTR is been asked to leave the film and do another film.
Devara Part 2 will likely get shelved due to lackluster appraisal of the part one
