Devadas movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 2 of 6 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the performances. Criticised: the script and the pacing.
The first half is a complete entertainer, the story drags a bit and entertains only in parts in the post interval.
Read the full reviewDespite all this, if Devadas holds attention, it’s because Sriram Adittya knows how to utilise its two leading actors and serve up plenty of fun moments.
Read the full reviewOne of the basics of storytelling is that you hold your conflict dear. You create drama to heighten the emotion as you hurtle towards the conflict.
Read the full reviewSome cracking humour and top-notch performances from the lead pair, the Deva and Das show is thoroughly entertaining.
Read the full reviewAll in all, Devadas is at best an average film where stellar casting and mammoth resource base is unutilized by Sriram Adittya.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
