Plot

Dev Ramalingam, whose family lives and owns a business in India, is a wealthy, adventure-loving young man who pursues new adventures. Dev always takes his best friends, Vicky and Nisha, on adventures worldwide. Vicky, however, wants to lead a regular life and always tries to avoid accompanying Dev on their thrill-seeking trips. He feels that once Dev is busy with a full-time job or at least an active love life, he might not be keen on bothering him anymore. Vicky engages in hot pursuit of potential girlfriends for Dev and comes across Meghna Padmavati, who lives in the United States and is the CEO for a San Francisco startup. Dev is intrigued by Meghna, so he obliges Vicky's pleas and sends her a friend request on Facebook. Dev is reluctant to stalk a girl nowadays, but his friends encourage him to do so anyway. As fate would have it, he eventually finds her in India on an official visit. He tries to woo her, but Meghna finds it challenging to trust men due to the childhood trauma she experienced when her parents divorced, leaving her and her mother, Padmavati, to fend for themselves. She is rude to Dev and brushes off his advances, but eventually understands that Dev is a decent man and is mildly interested in him.

On an impromptu cross-country road trip, the two fall in love despite Meghna's insecurities. Dev reassures her that he will be there for her no matter what. After Dev reaches home, his father, Ramalingam, gives him control over a new business venture that he is initiating, and Dev agrees to take care of it. While Dev is busy with work, he intentionally avoids communicating with Meghna for a few days to surprise her. Meghna's insecurities creep up on her, and she becomes filled with rage and betrayal. Meghna breaks up with Dev immediately. Dev tries to convince Meghna, but she ignores him and leaves the country. Her actions shake Dev, and he meets with an accident, which leaves him critically injured. He recovers from his injuries and, with his father's advice and motivation, tries to come out of his heartbreak. He eventually trains for the Everest summit trekking, which was his lifetime goal. While on the trek, an avalanche hits the base camp he is heading for. The authorities are unable to find Dev or his location, and he is feared dead. Meghna watches this on the news. She realises she is still in love with him, and tries to reach him. At the same time, Dev escapes the avalanche unscathed and continues his climb towards the summit in dangerous conditions. He reaches the summit and becomes unconscious due to exhaustion, but the Indian authorities rescue him on time. When Dev wakes up, he finds that Meghna reached him on time with the authorities, and they reconcile. They now have twin babies, whom they take on their newest adventures.

The film director revealed that the film's plot is inspired from the life of former Indian cricket captain and star all-rounder Kapil Dev. Most of the portions of the film include bike stunt sequences with lead actor Karthi playing the role of a bike lover/enthusiast and they were shot in the roads across India and Nepal especially at the Mount Everest. [18] [19] The scenes of the film were extensively shot in areas such as Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Kullu, Manali, Himalayas, Gulmarg, Ukraine and Carpathian Mountains.

Marketing

The first look poster which was released by Suriya on 25 October 2018, features Karthi with a BMW R1200GS superbike model behind. It was evident that the actor is playing an adventure lover in the film. [23] Director Rajath in his interview stated that "We went around and checked out over 30 different models of various superbikes and finally zeroed in on this superbike’s GS1200 model. It’s an off-roader and we were the first ones to order the bike as soon as it got launched this year. It’s quite an expensive one; we’d got it specially ordered in January and it was delivered to us in April. Several actors have ridden superbikes on screen, and we wanted this one to look different. This model complements Karthi’s height and physique. Since Karthi will be on the bike in major portions of the film, we wanted to make sure everything about it was right." [24]

The teaser was released on 5 November 2018, a day before Diwali and received positive reviews from the audience. [25] The official trailer for the film was unveiled by actor Suriya on 31 January 2019.

All of the songs had lyrics written by Chandrabose. Reviewing for the album, Neetishta Nyayapati of The Times of India , summarised that "All in all, the album of Dev is a clear winner with all the numbers in it standing out in their own way — a rarity these days. Harris’ music in particular is refreshing and a delight to listen to, completely reminiscent of a time when music meant more wind instruments and less techno. While it is difficult to pick and choose the best number from the album, Cheliya definitely has to be it for us. However, give the album of Dev a chance this weekend and it might just put a much-needed spring in your step." [34]
