…डायरेक्शन की बात करें तो रोशन एंड्रयूज का डायरेक्शन भी कमाल का है. उन्होंने जिस तरह से कहानी को अपने डायरेक्शन में पिरोया है, वो काबिले तारीफ है. फिल्म में गाने कम हैं, लेकिन जेक्स बेजॉय का म्यूजिक भी आपको निराश नहीं करेगा. अब बात करते हैं फिल्म की कुछ कमियों की. फिल्म पहले हाफ तक अपनी सामान्य गति से तेज चलती है, लेकिन दूसरे हाफ में यह धीरे-धीरे बहुत धीमी हो जाती है, जो आपको थोड़ा बोरियत जरूर महसूस कराएगी. अगर कहानी धीमी से तेज होती है, तो बाद में अपनी गति की भरपाई कर लेती है, लेकिन ‘देवा’ के साथ इसका उल्टा हुआ है. इसलिए मेकर्स को फिल्म की गति पर थोड़ा ध्यान देना चाहिए था. हालांकि फिल्म के धीमी होने की वजह फिल्म में देव का किरदार भी हो सकता है, जो आपको फिल्म देखने के बाद ही पता चलेगा….
