Devara Part 1 Mints Rs 33 Crore In 2nd Weekend, Passed Over Rs 270 Crore Mark In India
After packing a solid punch of Rs 237 crore in its first week at the Indian box office, the Koratala Siva-directed latest mass-actioner added Rs 33 crore to the tally in the second weekend. The movie entered its 2nd weekend by grossing Rs 7.25 crore on Day 8. Further, it saw an upward trend and collected Rs 11 crore and Rs 14.75 crore on its Day 9 and Day 10 respectively, taking its 2nd weekend biz to Rs 33 crore in India.
The total cume of Devara Part 1 has reached Rs 270 crore gross at the domestic box office in 10 days of release.
Devara Part 1 Performs Best In Telugu States, But Average In Hindi
The Jr NTR movie has best performed in its original language- Telugu. It remained an average in Hindi where it has collected around Rs 50 crore in 10 days. The action-drama couldn’t lure the audience much in Tamil and Malayalam where the local movies- Ajayante Randam Moshanam, Kishkindha Kaandam, Lubber Pandhu, and Meiyazhagan are doing best.
Devara collected Rs 3 crore from the international markets in its second weekend and took the total overseas box office collection to Rs 71.50 crore. It has fared reasonably well in the foreign territories, thanks to a banger opening day.
Devara Part 1 Should Take Benefits Of Dussehra Holiday, Eyeing For Rs 390 Crore Finish
Bankrolled by NTR Arts, the movie is expected to perform well in the upcoming days, courtesy of the Dussehra holiday nationwide. However, it will have to face new releases from the next weekend- Vettaiyan, Jigra, and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
The movie should eye a worldwide finish around Rs 390 crore gross which is certainly good considering its rollercoaster journey during the theatrical run.
The movie received mixed word-of-mouth but held well at the ticket window, courtesy of Jr NTR’s mass fan following. Overall, Devara Part 1 is a success now. The makers should greenlight the second instalment with confidence; however, a better execution will be expected this time.
