“NTR's towering performance and Anirudh's god-level BGM carry a film that falls short on story and heroine presence.”
Devara, a fearless man from a coastal region, embarks on a perilous journey into the treacherous world of the sea to safeguard the lives of his people. Unbeknownst to him, his brother Bhaira is plotting a conspiracy against him. As events unfold, Devara passes on his legacy to his mild-mannered and timid son, Varada.

NTR's terrific performance and Anirudh's BGM elevate a visually engaging but narratively thin film.
Devara entertains with NTR's powerhouse performance and Anirudh's music but is dragged down by a predictable twist and barely-there heroine.
“Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan deliver but Devara needed a sharper screenplay to match its lead's intensity.”
“Jr NTR shines in a dual role but the film struggles to balance its two halves. The villain track is the highlight.”
