The Telugu movie Devil has recently made a significant impact in theaters, earning overwhelming praise from the audiences. Many even hailed the movie as one of Nandamuri Kalyan Ram‘s best performances. As such, building on the success of his recent film Bimbisara, which grossed around $7.8 million at the box office, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram continues his impressive streak.
Released on December 29, 2023, Devil is directed by Abhishek Nama and produced by Abhishek Pictures. The movie stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in a pivotal role, alongside Samyuktha Menon as the female lead.
Devil’s plot revolves around a secret British agent summoned to solve a murder mystery. Set against a retro backdrop that depicts colonial rule in India, the movie brilliantly incorporates the use of Morse code. The central theme explores whether the protagonist can successfully unravel the murder mystery.
Many viewers believe that Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s latest film evokes nostalgia, particularly for fans of RRR (Rise Roar Revolt), which stars Ram Charan and JR. NTR in pivotal roles. Additionally, the title of the movie, Devil – The British Secret Agent, hints at the protagonist being a secret agent for the British. However, the plot takes unexpected twists as he contemplates betraying them, a theme teased in the trailer.
