Devara: Part 1 Sees Box Office Decline

Jr NTR's latest film 'Devara: Part 1' had a strong opening weekend, grossing Rs 82.5 crore on its first day and reaching a total of Rs 173.1 crore in India by Day 4. However, the film experienced a significant 68% drop in earnings on its first Monday, collecting only Rs 12.5 crore, primarily from Telugu and Hindi audiences. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film features Jr NTR in dual roles, alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, marking their debuts in Telugu cinema. Despite mixed reviews, the movie has garnered a fair response, especially in the Telugu-speaking regions, with total collections from various languages contributing to its box office success. The film needs to maintain stable weekday collections to continue its momentum, as it has already crossed the Rs 250 crore mark globally. Set against a coastal backdrop, 'Devara' follows a man's quest to protect his village from threats, resonating well with audiences despite its decline in ticket sales.
