Jr NTR’s highly anticipated film, Devara: Part 1, continues to make waves at the box office as it approaches the ₹300 crore milestone in India. As of October 18, 2024, the film has garnered significant attention and impressive earnings since its release on September 27, 2024.
Main Points
Box Office Performance
Devara: Part 1 had a phenomenal start, grossing ₹132 crore on its opening day, making it Jr NTR’s second-biggest opener after the blockbuster RRR. The film quickly crossed the ₹200 crore mark within its first weekend, thanks in part to the national holiday on Gandhi Jayanti, which boosted its collections significantly. By day six, it had surpassed ₹300 crore globally, marking a remarkable achievement for Jr NTR and the film’s director, Koratala Siva.
The film’s collections have been impressive but have also shown fluctuations. For instance, after a strong initial performance, there was a notable drop in collections during weekdays. On its first Monday, Devara earned approximately ₹12.5 crore, leading to a total of ₹173.1 crore by day four in India. However, as the weeks progressed, the film’s daily earnings began to decline, raising concerns about its ability to maintain momentum towards the ₹300 crore mark.
