Devara: Part One, starring Jr NTR, made a thunderous debut at the box office, pulling in an impressive Rs 90 crore globally on its first day. The film earned Rs 77 crore nett in India, making it the second-highest opening for any Indian film in 2024, only trailing behind Kalki 2898 AD. What’s more? Devara outpaced Stree 2’s Day 1 figures, which netted Rs 54.35 crore, making it a monumental achievement for Jr NTR’s latest release.
Breaking Down Devara’s Blockbuster Opening
The Telugu action-drama has already fixed its place as a box office giant, thanks to strong advance bookings and immense fan anticipation. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Jr NTR has a massive fan base, Devara dominated, pulling in Rs 68.6 crore net. This regional performance shows that the film was always destined for a robust start.
Surpassing Stree 2, Eyeing the Weekend
While Stree 2 managed a healthy Rs 54.35 crore nett on its opening day, Devara soared past those numbers effortlessly. The film also made unexpected waves in the Hindi market, raking in Rs 7 crore on its first day—a surprising feat for a Telugu-dominated production. With momentum building, it’s predicted that Devara will continue to rise over the weekend, as Northern audiences embrace this high-octane drama.
Setting New Milestones for Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor
Devara marks the biggest solo opener for both Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, the film’s female lead. For Jr NTR, already a box office heavyweight, this is another feather in his cap, while for Kapoor, it’s a breakout moment. The duo’s performance has drawn attention across regions, making this movie a pan-Indian success.
Worldwide Collections Awaited
As the global box office numbers roll in, early predictions suggest Devara could hit the Rs 120-125 crore gross mark worldwide by the end of its first day. This would further solidify its place as one of the biggest films of 2024. With the weekend ahead, all eyes are on whether it can climb further and perhaps even challenge Kalki 2898 AD.
Devara has not only secured the second-biggest Indian opening of 2024, but it’s also setting the stage for an exciting box office journey. With a staggering Rs 77 crore net in India and growing traction in the Hindi market, the film is poised for an explosive weekend. Fans of Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor are in for a treat as the film continues to dominate screens nationwide. Will it break more records? Stay tuned to find out!
