The
Devil
Overview
The
film’s
narrative
centers
on
a
political
power
struggle,
where
the
son
of
a
jailed
chief
minister
is
brought
back
to
lead
a
succession
campaign.
Resistant
and
self-focused,
he
initially
refuses
responsibility,
prompting
a
trusted
aide
to
recruit
a
lookalike
from
a
small
town
to
temporarily
assume
his
role.
The
lookalike
navigates
political
challenges,
engages
with
the
public,
and
forms
new
connections,
while
contending
with
attempts
to
manipulate
him
and
the
pressures
of
governance.
Technical
credits
include
music
by
B.
Ajaneesh

cinematography

sequences

Lakshman,

As
The
Devil
moves
through
its
first
full
week,
box
office
observers
will
be
monitoring
its
performance
across
weekdays
and
the
upcoming
weekend.
The
film’s
ability
to
maintain
screens
and
showtimes
amid
newer
releases
will
play
a
crucial
role
in
determining
its
total
run.
