The highly anticipated film 'Devara,' starring Jr NTR, has commenced its theatrical run with a resounding success, registering substantial box office numbers on its opening day. Industry tracker Sacnilk reported early estimates indicating a worldwide gross of Rs 140 crore for the film. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film's opening day collection demonstrates its strong appeal to audiences. This robust performance positions Devara as one of the biggest Day 1 grossers in recent times.
Directed by Kortala Siva, 'Devara' is a high-octane action spectacle featuring Jr NTR in a powerful role. The film's premise and action sequences have been widely praised, attracting viewers to theaters. While the critical reception has been mixed, the film's commercial prospects remain strong. The initial box office figures suggest a positive trajectory for Devara, indicating the possibility of sustained momentum throughout its theatrical run.
However, despite the impressive opening day collection, Devara falls slightly short of the record-breaking opening of 'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Prabhas. 'Kalki 2898 AD' had garnered a worldwide gross of Rs 191.5 crore on its opening day. Nevertheless, Devara's box office success further solidifies the popularity of Jr NTR as a major box office draw and emphasizes the enduring appeal of action-packed films within the Indian film industry.
