Devadas review highlights: An entertaining fare

An overeager doctor, a dreaded gangster and a trigger happy cop are at the forefront of Sriram Adittya’s latest comic caper Devadas.
Handling multi-starrers is never easy, let alone a comedy. The director, however, gets it right so far with Devadas. With some great dialogues (the film has endless quips and wisecracks), Sriram Adittya has got a winner on his hands, well, at least by the looks of the first half.The humour is spot on, backed by solid performances from Nani and Nagarjuna.
Deva (Nagarjuna) is a dreaded gangster who’s wanted by police. While on the run, he runs into clinic of Dr Das (Nani), an over eager doctor who never tires of telling people that he’s a gold medalist. In strange circumstances, the two of them become friends, but Das soon finds out that being friends with a dreaded don is not as easy as it seems.
Nani is in top form and gives you plenty of clap-worthy moments with some cracking humour. The first half, though a tad bit long, is thoroughly entertaining. Let’s hope the second half works just as well.
