As anticipated, shahid Kapoor's deva has not performed well at the box office since it opened in theaters. Even if the movie had several problems, the fact that it was a replica of the 2013 malayalam movie mumbai Police was one factor in its failure. Nobody can dispute that shahid gave the role of ACP Dev Ambre, the main character, his all, though. You almost feel as though you are observing kabir singh on film during some of the scenes.
 
Unfortunately, the film's sluggish tempo and narrative did not work to its advantage. However, by ultimately altering the film's central plot, which was the primary attraction of the first version, the producers committed the greatest error possible. deva barely generated any buzz among the crowd, which is another issue. The announcements were coming out of the blue, and there wasn't a single hit song on the charts.
 
In 2022, vikram Vedha, starring Hrithik Roshan, experienced a similar situation. Although the performances were excellent, the film ultimately failed since viewers had previously seen R. madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi's original film on various internet sites. Now is the ideal moment for filmmakers to realize that bollywood no longer considers remakes to be a safe option. It is now certain that every remake, with the exception of Drishyam, would ultimately fail at the movie office.
 
Anyone may now simply access OTT platforms. Other websites provide conveniently downloadable movies and tv series in every language. In this scenario, the production firms need to concentrate on working with certain talented authors to offer unique storylines. Remakes are something that even actors like shahid kapoor should stay away from. Although it is currently proven that remakes have finally lost their worth in bollywood, there is no concrete response to the question of whether shahid has lost his fame. Now is the moment to make a difference.
