The much anticipated Kalyan Ram’s movie Devil was released as the last film of last year on December 29, 2023. Directed by Abhishek Nama, the film was produced under the banner of Abhishek Pictures. Since its theatrical release, the Devil: The British Secret Agent has created a positive buzz among the audience. Even though the film started slow with low buzz, the positive word of mouth from audience worked in favour of the film to some extent.
It has used the advantage of New Year's Eve weekend and garnered some respectable numbers at the boxoffice. According to the official numbers from the makers, the film has garnered Rs 30 Crores worldwide in its theatrical run. The film could have made more if it doesn't have a competitor like Salaar. As Sankranthi films flooded the theatres, Devil is almost gets replaced from theatres.
A major update regarding the digital debut of Kalyan Ram’s Devil is out. Amazon Prime which acquired the OTT streaming rights of Devil : The British Secret Agent reportedly locked its OTT release date. The film will start streaming in multiple languages from 14th January. That's like less than three weeks from its theatrical release. But, as the film is already out of theatres, it would be idle to grab audiences attention while they are still familiar with the film.
The movie stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the pivotal role, alongside Samyuktha Menon as the female lead. Many even hailed the movie as one of Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s best performances. Malavika Nair also played another key role in this investigative thriller with a pre independence backdrop.
