Shahid Kapoor's latest film, Deva, opened with a first-day collection of approximately ₹5.78 crore, which, in the competitive world of Indian cinema, was considered underwhelming by many industry experts. However, despite this modest start, the film has shown promising signs of growth, with an uptick in audience viewership during the evening and night shows. This shift can largely be attributed to the positive feedback the film has received, particularly regarding Shahid Kapoor's performance and the action sequences.

Deva, a cop drama, has been praised by critics and fans alike for its intense action and engaging narrative, which has been described as a redefinition of the genre. The movie follows the journey of a police officer who is caught between morality and duty, and its portrayal of high-stakes drama has struck a chord with many viewers. Shahid Kapoor’s portrayal of the lead character has been especially lauded for adding depth and intensity to the story, which has kept audiences engaged despite the slow start.

While the first-day collection was lower than expected, the film’s performance began to improve as the weekend approached, as word-of-mouth praise continued to spread. The movie's success will largely depend on whether it can sustain this growth over the weekend, as it will need significant increases in box office collections to reach a respectable total. The weekend performance is critical for determining whether Deva can capitalize on the positive reviews it has received, ensuring that it becomes a box-office success despite its rocky start.

Many moviegoers have noted the film’s ability to blend intense action with a gripping cop drama narrative, a genre that has not been explored with this level of intensity in recent films. The film has set itself apart with its action-packed scenes, which have been described as some of the best in recent Shahid Kapoor films. The movie's ability to entertain audiences with these high-energy sequences has helped it carve out a niche, especially among fans of action-driven stories.

However, while the film has done well in terms of critical acclaim, there are concerns about its box office potential, especially since it did not make a huge splash upon release. The film will need to maintain positive momentum to ensure a strong box-office run, and this will largely depend on the audience’s continued support in the coming days. As word spreads about the film’s strengths, particularly Shahid Kapoor’s performance, it is expected that more viewers will choose to watch it during the weekend, which could lead to a rise in box office collections.

In conclusion, Deva may not have had the massive opening many expected, but its critical acclaim and the positive feedback surrounding Shahid Kapoor's performance and the action sequences have set the stage for strong growth at the box office. The film’s weekend growth is now crucial, and all eyes will be on its ability to gain momentum and become a successful box office contender.
