Deva’s Box Office Day 1: Shahid Kapoor’s Flick Underwhelms with a Mere Rs. 4.50 Crore, Failing to Impress

Title: Deva Struggles at the Box Office: A Thriller Without the Thrill

By Boxoffice Bhaskar – The Unseen Eye of Bollywood

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your popcorn because the Shahid Kapoor action thriller Deva has crash-landed at the box office with all the grace of a three-legged elephant attempting ballet. Our hero, Shahid, alongside the direction of Rosshan Andrrews, has managed to rake in a mere Rs. 4.25 crores to Rs. 4.75 crores on opening day. That’s right, folks, the film’s performance is as thrilling as a lukewarm cup of chai that we all forgot about. And the projected Rs. 7 crores? Well, let’s just say it was a mirage in the cinematic desert.

Now, if you’re wondering about the crowd’s response, imagine crickets in a silent movie. Yes, Deva was a no-show in theaters across the country, with mass belts recording an audience size that could fit comfortably in a rickshaw. Some cinema halls even canceled shows due to a lack of interest, which, for a film featuring a star like Shahid, is as surprising as finding a plot twist in a Karan Johar movie. But what sealed the fate of this cinematic escapade, you ask? Was it the remake curse? Nope, it was the trailer that promised as much excitement as a snail race. Let’s not even talk about the music—or lack thereof—that left audiences as unenthused as a cat at a dog show.

Given the hefty costs, Deva needed a blockbuster opening to break even. Instead, the producers are left clutching their wallets and perhaps considering a career in reality TV, where the drama is guaranteed.

In the end, Deva has become a cautionary tale—a reminder that even with a bankable star, the right ingredients matter. And maybe, just maybe, a touch of originality wouldn’t hurt. Until next time, remember: in Bollywood, box office collections can be as unpredictable as a Rajinikanth stunt.
