Darshan Thoogudeepa’s The Devil released in theatres today, and many fans rushed to catch the first show. Viewers then turned to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on this political-action drama. The early reactions show a mix of praise for Darshan and criticism about the film’s writing and editing.
Netizens Review The Devil
One netizen wrote that the story “is not new” and feels like something that has already been told before. However, the user found Darshan’s acting to be on another level, although a few scenes look slightly overdone. He added that the Krishna character stands out.
