The Telugu action drama film, Devara, starring NTR, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, continues to enjoy success at the global box office. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark within a week of its release and continues to attract audiences. Devara's performance is further bolstered by its second weekend collection, which saw a significant rise in ticket sales across the twin Telugu states. The film raked in a solid Rs 3.89 crore on Saturday alone, bringing its 9-day total to Rs 115.95 crore (excluding GST). This strong performance suggests that Devara is resonating with viewers in the Telugu states.
The area-wise breakdown of the 9-day collection showcases the film's widespread appeal: Nizam (Rs 44.87 crore), Ceded (Rs 24.49 crore), Vizag (Rs 12.06 crore), East (Rs 7.44 crore), West (Rs 5.85 crore), Krishna (Rs 6.82 crore), Guntur (Rs 9.72 crore), and Nellore (Rs 4.70 crore). The film is currently close to reaching the breakeven point and is poised for an extended run during the upcoming Dasara festive holidays. This extended run, coinciding with a popular festive period, is expected to further enhance the film's financial performance and potentially push its final collection higher.
Devara is produced by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Mikkilineni Sudhakar, and Kosaraju Hari Krishna, and the film's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The success of Devara can be attributed to a combination of factors: the star power of NTR, the action-packed narrative, and the appealing combination of Bollywood and Tollywood stars. The film's continued strong performance is a testament to its ability to captivate audiences and contribute to the ongoing success of the Telugu film industry.
