synopsis

The much-anticipated trailer for Shahid Kapoor’s action thriller Deva has been released ahead of schedule. Following a gripping teaser and the electrifying song "Bhasad Macha," the full trailer ramps up the intensity with a faster, fiercer, and action-packed narrative.

What’s in the trailer?

The trailer opens with Shahid Kapoor's character narrating how terrorists killed one of his fellow officers, prompting the Mumbai Police to launch an aggressive mission of retaliation. He explains their plan to infiltrate every lane, system, and area previously left unchecked, emphasizing the need for “full freedom” to execute their mission.

However, his superiors confront him, criticizing his methods as “hooliganism” and pointing out media reports labeling him as a “mafia.” In response, Shahid's character appears to embrace the title, stating unapologetically that he is mafia. The trailer then showcases his fearless approach to raids, accompanied by energetic Marathi dhol beats. He is seen pursuing criminals through narrow bylanes and engaging in high-octane action sequences.

A pivotal twist toward the end reveals a confrontation between Shahid and Pavail Gulati’s cop character. Gulati's character suggests that Shahid's anger stems from fear, adding a psychological layer to the narrative. Meanwhile, Kubra Sait’s character is seen pleading with Shahid to shoot an escaping criminal, but he hesitates, struggling to pull the trigger.
