Devara Review:

WION's review of the movie reads, ''Devara Part 1 is Jr NTR's 30th film and it presents him in all his glory. He plays a double role which ably showcases all his talents. NTR flexes muscles, dances, romances, and performs action stunts with absolute ease. It is a story that revolves around him and he delivers to his part. His portrayal of Devara is larger than life- typical to films of this genre in the South Indian film industry. Complementing him is actor Saif Ali Khan who makes his Telugu debut with the film. Khan has by now, aced the role of playing the antagonist in multiple films,'' read full review here.
