REVIEW
 
Devi is a horror-comedy in which Prabhu Deva, Sonu Sood and Tamannaah Bhatia are playing the lead roles. It has been simultaneously made in Telugu as Abhinetri and in Hindi as Tutak Tutak Tutiya.
 
The film has RJ Balaji, Sathish, Nassar, Abijith Paul and others in the supporting cast. Amy Jackson has done a special number in the flick. AL Vijay, who is known for making films with strong subjects, has tried out his hand at horror-comedy for the first time. It has been a successful genre in Kollywood.
 
Bollywood musicians Vishal Mishra and Sajid-Wajid have scored the music and two songs - Chalmaar and Rang Rang Rangoli - have lived up to the expectations of the audience. The film has Manush Nandan's cinematography and Anthony's editing.
 
STORY
 
The film tells the story of a South Indian man named Krishna (Prabhudheva), who lives in Mumbai and wants to marry a modern girl, a girl who can speak perfect English without any errors. Director Vijay makes this evident from the first scene itself. Due to circumstances he is forced to marry a village girl called Devi (Tamannaah).
 
They together shift to a flat in Mumbai. Krishna is ashamed of her and tries to shoo her back to the village. Until he sees a different side of her, a much modern one, the kind he always wanted to marry but there is a catch! The flat he moves in is haunted and Devi’s sudden makeover is due to the fact that she is possessed by the ghost called Ruby. Also there is superstar Raj Khanna (Sonu Sood), who is in love with Ruby.
 
Who is Ruby? What does Ruby want? What does Raj have to do with Ruby?  How Did Krishna handle Ruby? You will have to watch it in the Big screen to get the answers.
 
 
PERFORMANCE
 
It’s a Prabhudheva show from start to finish. He is bit awkward in the first scene but gets his groove and shines throughout. His comic timing is amazing and he is believable in emotional scenes. He is the life of this horror comedy.
 
Tamannaah plays her part perfectly. Her voice modulation is good and she shifts between her two strikingly different personalities with ease. The comedy scenes are funny at places and director Vijay handles them well. The film never takes itself too seriously, which works in its favour. The story by Vijay and Paul Aron holds your attention for the most part and is intriguing.
 
Sonu Sood doesn’t bring anything new to the table. His character of a superstar, who is in love with Ruby is a weak and one dimensional. He is playing a done to death good guy. Apart from showcasing chiseled body in the action scenes the actor has very little to offer. Also his role should have been termed as a special appearance rather than a full fledged one as he is hardly there in the first half of the film. The movie builds itself up well to a sudden dry climax. It is the climax that is majorly messed up.The film has 126 minutes run time and it’s entertaining. It’s the kind of film you watch, enjoy and forget.
