Hrushikesh Rakesh Bwaiskar

Deva (2025) isn’t just another entry in the endless sea of Bollywood releases—this one’s got some real bite, the kind that makes you sit up and pay attention. The story follows Deva, not your average hero, not by a long shot. He’s raw, maybe a little rough around the edges, and he’s carrying way more baggage than your local train at rush hour. The city around him is a character in itself, gritty and loud, always pressing in, never letting up. Corruption’s practically woven into the sidewalks, and Deva’s got his hands full just trying to keep his head above water. There’s family drama (come on, what would a movie be without it?), but it’s not forced—more like the kind that sneaks up and punches you in the gut. Deva’s torn between loyalty and survival, and honestly, sometimes he doesn’t even know which way’s up. The stakes keep climbing: street-level thugs, crooked cops, and a secret from his past that refuses to stay buried. The tension is relentless, with every choice Deva makes somehow making things messier, not cleaner. Action’s got that gritty, handheld vibe, not all glossy and choreographed, which makes it actually feel dangerous. And the soundtrack? Bangs. There’s a pulse to it that matches Deva’s heartbeat as he navigates betrayals and stumbles through moments of real vulnerability. In the end, it’s not just about who wins or loses, but whether Deva can face himself—scars, regrets, and all. Definitely not one you forget after the credits roll.
