Devara box office collection day 2: Jr NTR's film crosses Rs 200 crore worldwide gross

Devara - Part 1, starring NTR Jr., has made a massive impact on its opening day at the box office. The film, which has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year, has successfully pulled in audiences from various regions, showcasing its widespread appeal. Directed by Koratala Siva and produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, Devara - Part 1 is a movie that has generated immense buzz even before its release. Let’s look into the detailed box office performance of this movie on its first day.

Day 1 Collection:

On its opening day, Devara - Part 1 collected approximately Rs 140 crore worldwide, demonstrating its stronghold in the domestic as well as the international markets. In India, the film amassed around ₹77 crore net across all languages. The movie performed particularly well in the Telugu region, contributing ₹68.6 crore to the total collection. Other language contributions include ₹7 crore from the Hindi version, Rs 0.3 crore from the Kannada version, Rs 0.8 crore from the Tamil version, and Rs 0.3 crore from the Malayalam version.

The worldwide gross collection of Rs 140 crore includes revenue from overseas markets, where the film has been welcomed with open arms. The film’s grand visuals, compelling storyline, and the star power of NTR Jr. have been pivotal in drawing in large crowds.

Occupancy and Audience Response

The film saw strong occupancy rates across different showtimes on its first day. In the Telugu market, the overall occupancy for the day was around 79.56%, with night shows recording the highest at 87.45%. Morning shows had an impressive 80.11% occupancy, while afternoon and evening shows registered 71.46% and 79.21% occupancy, respectively.

The Hindi version, however, recorded a lower occupancy rate of 18.37% overall, reflecting a more tepid response in the North Indian market. Morning shows saw an occupancy of 9.63%, afternoon shows 14.85%, evening shows 17.20%, and night shows 31.81%. This disparity suggests that the film’s core strength and major fan base lie in the South Indian regions, particularly in Telugu-speaking states.

Star Cast and Expectations

Devara - Part 1 features an ensemble cast with NTR Jr. in the lead role, supported by Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Shine Tom Chacko, Murali Sharma, and Prakash Raj. This stellar lineup has contributed significantly to the film’s success. The direction by Koratala Siva and the production by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts have also played a vital role in ensuring the movie’s high-quality production values, engaging narrative, and strong promotional campaigns.

Future Projections
With such a strong opening, Devara - Part 1 is expected to continue its dominance at the box office over the weekend. If the trend persists, the movie might cross Rs 250 crore in its opening weekend, setting new benchmarks for regional cinema. The audience’s response, word of mouth, and subsequent reviews will determine its long-term performance. However, given the current momentum, Devara - Part 1 seems well-positioned to sustain its run.
