Telugu superstar Jr NTR’s highly anticipated action thriller “Devara Part 1” has stormed the box office, smashing records on its opening day. The film, directed by Koratala Siva, is a pan-India release and witnessed impressive advance bookings both domestically and internationally.

Trade experts predict the film will easily cross the ₹100 crore mark on its opening day, potentially even surpassing several of India’s biggest hits in recent years. Advance booking figures, reaching ₹75 crore worldwide, already signify a record-breaking start. Early estimates place the film’s domestic earnings between ₹85-95 crore, with a staggering ₹70 crore coming from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh alone. Internationally, “Devara” is projected to earn over $5 million (₹40-45 crore).

Conservative estimates place the film’s global opening day collection at ₹125 crore, while more optimistic projections reach ₹140 crore. If the latter proves true, “Devara” would claim the seventh spot on the list of highest opening day collections by Indian films, surpassing even Bollywood behemoths like “Jawan”, “Animal”, and “Pathaan”.

“Devara Part 1” is a thrilling action drama set in a coastal community, featuring Jr NTR in a double role. Saif Ali Khan makes his Telugu language debut as the antagonist, while Janhvi Kapoor marks her Tollywood entry as the female lead.

With its impressive pre-release buzz and record-breaking opening day collections, “Devara Part 1” is poised to become a major box office success and further solidify Jr NTR’s status as one of the most bankable stars in Indian cinema.
