Deva’s Box Office Blitz: Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde’s Flick Rakes In Day 1 Cash in India While Sky Force Lurks

Lights, camera, action! Bollywood’s very own Shahid Kapoor is back with his latest flick ‘Deva’, and oh boy, was there hype! But did the film deliver on its opening day? Let’s dive into the drama with your favorite Bollywood Newshound, Nisha! 🎬

Deva’s Box Office Debut: What Went Wrong?

Let’s face it, darlings. With the kind of buzz ‘Deva’ generated pre-release, one would expect fireworks at the box office. Directed by the talented Roshan Andrews, with Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde in the lead, how could it not? It’s got action, romance, and Shahid dancing his socks off once again. Yet, despite all the razzle-dazzle, ‘Deva’ stumbled right out of the gate, not even cracking a double-digit opening. 😬

According to early reports, ‘Deva’ managed to rake in a modest 5 crores on its first day. Now, before you gasp in horror, remember, these are preliminary numbers. Official figures might add a little sparkle, but let’s not hold our breath.

While it didn’t match the explosive start of Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahadia’s ‘Sky Force’ (which opened at a whopping 12.25 crores), ‘Deva’ still managed to be the second biggest opener of 2025. So, silver linings, folks! 🌟

Shahid’s Top 10 Openers: Why ‘Deva’ Missed the Cut

Now, here’s the tea. Despite all the fanfare, ‘Deva’ didn’t make it to Shahid’s top 10 openers list. Gasp! Here’s a quick rundown of his top hits:

1. Kabir Singh – 20.21 crores
2. Padmaavat – 19 crores
3. Shaandaar – 13.10 crores
4. R… Rajkumar – 10.10 crores
5. Udta Punjab – 10.05 crores
6. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya – 7.02 crores
7. Mausam – 6.75 crores
8. Batti Gul Meter Chalu – 6.76 crores
9. Haider – 6.14 crores
10. Rangoon – 6.07 crores

    With a budget of 50 crores, the makers are crossing their fingers for a weekend miracle to boost earnings. Can Shahid’s ‘Deva’ at least break even? Only time will tell, my Bollywood aficionados.

    Nisha’s Nutshell:

    In the world of Bollywood, it’s not the punches you throw, but the ones you land that count. And remember, not every star can shoot straight to the moon on day one. Sometimes, it takes a little more than just action and a dance number to make magic happen! 💃✨
