This is also Tarak’s first release after the global sensation RRR (2022)
Devara Slows Down On First Monday
‘Devara’, starring Jr NTR, slowed down at the Indian box office on September 30 after a good first weekend. According to Sacnilk, the actioner raked in Rs 12.5 crore on Monday. A major chunk of this, unsurprisingly, came from the Telugu states. The film has also done reasonably well in the Hindi market where it netted Rs 4 crore on the fourth day. This is a respectable figure given the muted promotions.
