Devara twitter review: Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor starrer receives mixed reactions, netizens call first-half and dances 'enjoyable'

This sentiment is shared by many who were impressed with the action-packed sequences and Jr NTR’s performance. The visuals and the background score (BGM) have also been lauded, adding to the immersive cinematic experience. Bollywood Universe, a popular social media handle, commented:
"#Devara: Good pacy start to the story NTR introduction scene BGM solid #DevaraReview."

However, not all feedback was positive. While some praised the film's grandeur, others had their reservations. Several users pointed out issues with the screenplay, especially in the first half of the movie.

According to @Venkyra1, the film struggled with pacing and execution:
"#DevaraReview Overall B grade. 1st half with a slightly better but still outdated 2nd half! Apart from a few scenes and enjoyable dances, nothing else works. Outdated screenplay/story with poor BGM and VFX."

This polarized reaction to the film highlights a common trend in big-budget movies, where the spectacle sometimes overshadows the plot. Though the film boasts excellent technical aspects, fans like @mokshagnafan were left disappointed with the writing and character arcs. He wrote:
"Vara didn’t even get the scope to perform as his role was written poorly. Devara had a better role and did well, but even his role lacked the emotional connect necessary #Devara."

A crucial element of the film's initial feedback centers around the plot's predictability and lack of innovation. VarunReddySama posted:
"#devara Below average first half Waiting for 2nd half All expected scenes there is nothing new routine rotta now."

For die-hard fans of Jr NTR, the film still holds value, and they stand by the actor, with one fan proclaiming:
"Cinema Hit Aina Flop Aina Mee Acting Ki Memu Fidaa Aipovalsindhe.."

But even ardent supporters couldn’t ignore some of the film’s shortcomings, especially in terms of storytelling. As mentioned by @Surya, even the entertaining dance numbers couldn’t fully compensate for the film’s lack of emotional depth.

On the other hand, casual moviegoers and cinema lovers looking for an engaging cinematic experience with action-packed sequences and stunning visuals may still find the movie enjoyable. The larger-than-life portrayal of Jr NTR, combined with the supporting performances, could be enough to entertain a more forgiving audience.

As it stands, Devara seems to be a movie that will divide its audience. Fans of Jr NTR will likely embrace the film for the action and star power, while others, who are more critical of plot development and emotional engagement, may walk away disappointed. As the box office performance of the film unfolds over the coming days, it will be interesting to see how these mixed reactions affect the film’s overall reception and commercial success.
