Movie Review
India TV's Jaya Dwivedie in her review of the film wrote, ''Junior NTR's swag is worth watching and Saif is charming in Devara: Part 1. Unfortunately, the Pan India film did not give much scope to its lead actress Janhvi Kapoor to act. The cinematography of the film is a visual treat, but the writing and direction are weak and the film can come across as predictable. Moreover, audiences can feel like it's a repetition of several films that we have already watched in the past. Overall, the cinematography and acting are the only things that try to save the sinking boat. The film does not give you a new experience, overall there is a huge lack of originality.''
