Devara Box Office Day 1: Telugu cinema’s famous superstar Junior NTR’s much-awaited film ‘Devra: Part 1’ has created a stir at the box office. The film broke big records on the very first day of its release and earned more than Rs 140 crore worldwide. The film has won the audience’s hearts by becoming the biggest solo release of Junior NTR’s career.
The film’s opening was so phenomenal that it earned Rs 38.84 crore from advance booking alone. After Junior NTR’s fellow actor Prabhas, he has become the second Telugu superstar whose film has grossed more than Rs 100 crore on the first day. However, his film ‘Devra’ has yet to beat the record set by ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.
The secret to ‘Devra: Part 1”s success: Why is the film so special?
Koratala Siva, one of the best directors in the Telugu film industry, directs the film ‘Devra: Part 1’. Junior NTR has played a double role in this film, making the story even more interesting. Apart from this, the film also has strong actors like Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Prakash Raj, who have taken the film to greater heights with their brilliant acting.
With a budget of Rs 300 crore, if the film continues to earn at the same pace even after the weekend, it has the potential to set new records at the box office.
Box office collection for ‘Devra’ (Day 1).
The film ‘Devra’ had a blockbuster opening in South India. According to Sacnilk’s report, the film grossed a total of Rs 77 crore at the domestic box office in five languages on its first day. The Telugu version earned the highest amount of Rs 68.60 crore. In the Telugu states, the film had an occupancy of up to 80%, which remained the same in the morning to night shows.
Slow start in Hindi: Will there be a boom at the weekend?
While ‘Devra’ did well in Telugu, it is not popular in Hindi. The Hindi version of the film earned only Rs 7 crore on its first day. However, it is expected that the film’s popularity will increase among the Hindi audience due to word of mouth over the weekend, as well as its collection.
‘Devra’ lagged behind ‘RRR’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD.’
Two years after the tremendous success of ‘RRR’, Junior NTR is back on the big screen with ‘Devra’. Although this film surpassed many Indian films in the first-day collections, it lagged behind Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.
The film ‘Devra’ has certainly made a strong start at the box office, but it will be fascinating to see what new records this film is able to set in the coming days.
Will ‘Devra’ set new records?
Since Jr. NTR’s film has done well in South India, it will likely draw more viewers over the weekend. If the film picks up pace in the Hindi belt as well, ‘Devra’ can become a huge success not only in Telugu but in the entire Indian cinema.
This film’s huge star cast, brilliant direction, and amazing visual effects make it a blockbuster. We now await the film’s trajectory in the upcoming weeks.
