Karthi
is
beyond
any
doubt,
one
of
the
most
popular
and
talented
stars
in
the
Tamil
film
industry
today.
The
versatile
actor
enjoys
a
pretty
enviable
fan
following
because
of
his
desi
look,
down-to-earth
nature,
sincere
performances
and
impressive
screen
presence.
During
his
eventful
career,
Karthi
has
acted
in
quite
a
few
popular
films
and
proved
that
he
belongs
to
the
big
league.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
release
Dev
which
is
set
to
arrive
in
theatres
today(February
14,
2019).
The
romantic
adventure-drama,
which
has
Rakul
Preet
as
the
female
lead,
revolves
around
the
friendship
between
a
carefree
guy
and
an
ambitious
woman.
Dev
has
created
a
reasonable
amount
of
buzz
amongst
fans
for
all
the
right
reasons
and
this
might
help
it
emerge
as
a
winner.
The
first
shows
of
Dev
are
set
to
begin,
Stay
tuned
for
the
live
review.
Karthi
looks
good
on
the
big
screen
and
carries
off
his
role
with
ease.
However,
the
character
is
a
bit
too
simple
for
an
actor
of
his
level.
Rakul
Preet
delivers
a
strictly
okay
perform,
carrying
off
her
role
with
confidence.
The
screenplay
seems
to
be
all
over
the
place.
As
a
result,
the
film
never
connects
with
the
viewer.
Barring
a
few
comedy
scenes,
Dev
does
not
offer
anything
memorable
to
the
viewer.
Also,
here
are
the
key
talking
points
about
Dev.
Will
Karthi
Get
Another
Hit?
Last
year,
Karthi
became
the
talk
of
the
town
when
Kadaikutty
Singam
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
box
office
and
impressed
critics.
The
top
choice
of
the
family
audience,
it
emerged
as
his
second
consecutive
hit.
With
Dev,
he'll
be
hoping
to
hit
the
bull's
eye
again,
consolidating
his
standing
in
the
industry.
Will
Rakul
And
Karthi
Impress
Again?
Rakul
and
Karthi
made
a
good
pair
in
the
2017
hit
Theeran
Adigaram
Ondru,
turning
up
the
heat
with
their
intense
chemistry.
Fans
are
eager
to
see
whether
they
are
able
to
recreate
the
magic
in
Dev
or
not
The
Stakes
Are
High
Dev
needs
to
collect
nearly
Rs
30
crore
in
Tamil
Nadu
to
be
a
commercial
success.
Kadaikutty
Singam
had
collected
rs
50
crore
in
the
state,
emerging
as
a
monster
hit.
As
such,
many
in
the
industry
feel
that
Dev
will
face
no
difficulty
in
reaching
the
breakeven
point
Dev
To
Gain
From
The
Varma
Fiasco?
Varma,
the
Tamil
remake
of
Tollywood
blockbuster
Arjun
Reddy,
was
originally
supposed
to
screens
on
February
14,
2019.
However,
in
a
shocking
development,
it
was
shelved
as
the
producers
were
unhappy
with
the
final
product.
As
a
result
of
the
fiasco,
Dev
is
the
only
major
release
of
the
week
which
should
benefit
it
in
a
major
way.
