‘Devara’ Box Office Report Day 9: Jr NTR’s Film Witnesses Good Growth

‘Devara’, which hit screens on Friday ( September 27), has made a good impact at the box office despite middling reviews. The film had a good first week, which saw it enter the Rs 200 crore club. . It then raked in a respectable amount on its second Friday (October 4) and witnessed decent growth on Saturday (October 5).

‘Devara’ marks Jr NTR’s second collaboration with Koratala Siva, who previously directed him in ‘Janatha Garage’. This is also Tarak’s first release after SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ (2022)

Devara Has A Respectable Second Saturday

‘Devara’, starring Jr NTR, did reasonably well on its second Saturday and remained the top pick of the mass audience. According to Sacnilk, the action drama raked in Rs 8 crore on October 5.  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 3 crore on the ninth day. Interestingly, the film had collected Rs 6 crore on October 4.

The performance in Tamil and Malayalam, however, is not as good as expected. All in all, the film has collected Rs 230 crore in India so far,. It is expected to remain the top choice of the masses till Rajinikanth’s action drama ‘Vettaiyan’ and ‘Jigra’, starring Alia Bhatt, open in theatres next week.
