About the Film
The Devil is a 2025 Indian Kannada-language political action thriller film starring Darshan in a dual role, directed by Prakash Veer. Released on December 11, 2025, the film opened to a strong box office reception driven by Darshan’s star power, though critical reviews have been mixed, with many calling the political drama “routine” and “outdated”.
Plot and Theme
The film centers on Krishna, a humble mess owner with aspirations of becoming an actor, whose life is upended when he is coerced by political schemers into impersonating Dhanush, the Chief Minister’s disgraced and dangerous son, also known as “The Devil”. The narrative explores themes of power, revenge, love, and the conflict between the “good” Krishna and the “evil” Dhanush, set against a backdrop of political corruption.
