The much-awaited trailer for Devara: Part 1, directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, was unveiled at a grand event in Mumbai. The film, which is set to be released in theaters in multiple languages on September 27, 2024, has already sparked a buzz among fans and critics alike.
The trailer introduces a story that turns “the sea red,” depicting a world without fear until the arrival of Jr NTR’s character, Devara. Saif Ali Khan plays a formidable antagonist with a long-term plot to bring down the man who instilled fear in his people. Janhvi Kapoor, making her Telugu debut, plays a village belle in love with Devara’s son, who is also played by Jr NTR in a dual role. The trailer hints at a compelling story of legacy and heroism in which Devara’s son, initially thought to be harmless, is eventually forced to rise to the occasion and confront the dangers that lie ahead.
The trailer has sparked varied reactions online. Some viewers found it underwhelming, calling it a “same old South movie formula,” while others noted the buzz and awareness it has generated, even with mixed reviews. Despite the divided opinions, Devara: Part 1 still promises to deliver all the elements of a classic mass entertainer—action, drama, and emotional depth.
