Deva is a 2025 Indian action-thriller directed by Rosshan Andrrews, starring Shahid Kapoor as a hard-edged police officer who must piece together the truth behind a closed murder case — while hiding the fact that the accident which ended it also erased his memory.
What is Deva about?
Senior Inspector Dev Ambre has a reputation for getting results by any means necessary. When a violent accident leaves him without the memories of his most recent case, he finds himself in a precarious position: the murder investigation he supposedly wrapped is being questioned, and the only way to defend his work is to secretly re-examine every lead, every witness, and every piece of evidence — all while concealing his condition from colleagues and superiors. Only DCP Farhan Khan knows the truth. As Dev digs deeper, the lines between what he remembers, what he is told, and what actually happened begin to blur in dangerous ways.
Cast & crew
Shahid Kapoor anchors the film with a physically committed, morally ambiguous performance as Dev Ambre. Pooja Hegde brings presence to her role opposite Kapoor, while Pavail Gulati plays DCP Farhan Khan, the sole figure who holds Dev's secret. Supporting turns from Pravessh Rana, Girish Kulkarni, and Kubbra Sait add depth to the procedural web surrounding the investigation.
Context & significance
Bollywood action-thrillers with a strong procedural backbone have found a dedicated following among Persian-speaking diaspora audiences who grew up watching Hindi cinema alongside Iranian films. Deva fits squarely in that tradition — high-energy set pieces combined with a puzzle-box narrative that rewards close attention. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible for viewers who prefer to watch in their own language without relying on subtitles. For diaspora households where multiple generations watch together, a Persian-dubbed Bollywood thriller bridges generations and preferences seamlessly.
