Story: “Devara: Part 1” is set in the coastal village of Ratnagiri, where Devara (played by Jr NTR) and Bhaira (Saif Ali Khan) are influential figures. They work with Muruga (Murali Sharma) to smuggle goods, but Devara realizes it’s wrong, leading to a conflict with Bhaira. Twelve years later, Devara disappears, and Bhaira is still seeking revenge. Devara’s son, Vara, joins Bhaira, raising questions: why does Vara betray his father? Is Devara still alive? And why does Bhaira want to kill Devara? These mysteries drive the story forward.
Plus Points: Jr NTR’s performance stands out, playing both Devara and his son, Vara, with great depth. Saif Ali Khan is remarkable as Bhaira, making a powerful Tollywood debut. Janhvi Kapoor, although limited in screen time, shares charming moments with Jr NTR. The action scenes are thrilling, and the supporting cast, including Srikanth and Prakash Raj, adds value to the film.
Minus Points: Though entertaining, the plot is somewhat predictable. The second half of the film lacks depth and energy. Janhvi Kapoor’s role feels too small, leaving her fans wanting more. The climax comes suddenly, giving the film an abrupt finish.
Technical Aspects: Director Siva Koratala succeeds in presenting a grand vision but could have improved the screenplay in the second half. The music by Anirudh Ravichander and cinematography by Rathnavelu are excellent, adding much to the visual and emotional feel of the film. Editing could have been tighter, especially towards the end.
Verdict: “Devara: Part 1” offers action-packed entertainment, with Jr NTR’s performance stealing the show. While the predictable plot and some slow parts hold it back, the film is worth watching for its stellar action sequences and engaging moments. For those seeking thrilling entertainment, the “Devara Review” suggests you should catch it this weekend!
