The Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan starrer Devara Part 1 has been making waves at the box office since its release on September 27. As the film completes its 10-day run, it has shown a strong performance despite experiencing fluctuations along the way. After posting single-digit collections on Thursday and Friday, the movie bounced back over the weekend, which is a positive indicator for its future.
On Thursday, Devara earned Rs 7.25 crore, followed by Rs 6 crore on Friday. However, the film saw a significant jump on Saturday, collecting Rs 9.25 crore. By Sunday (Day 10), the movie pulled in approximately Rs 12.25 crore, according to Sacnilk, marking a 30% growth. Of this, Rs 8 crore came from the Telugu version, while Rs 3.75 crore was contributed by the Hindi version. The remaining earnings came from the Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions combined.
This growth is noteworthy, especially given that the Navratri festivities and the 'Garba' fever have been in full swing, diverting audience attention. The film’s total earnings after 10 days stand at an impressive Rs 243 crore in India. If Monday's collections are strong, Devara is poised to cross the Rs 250 crore mark soon.

With no major competition currently—aside from Joker, which also released last week—Devara has ample time to dominate the box office until Diwali, before the release of big titles like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
