Sat Sep 28 16:04:21 UTC 2024: ## Jr NTR’s “Devara” Shatters Box Office Records with Bumper Opening
**Hyderabad, India:** Jr NTR’s highly anticipated action drama “Devara” has stormed the box office, registering a massive opening worldwide. The film, directed by Koratala Siva, raked in a staggering Rs 145 crore gross on its first day, surpassing initial expectations of Rs 125 crore. This makes “Devara” the second-biggest Indian opener of the year, both domestically and globally, trailing only Prabhas’ “Kalki 2898 AD.”
“Devara,” which marks Jr NTR’s return to the big screen after the global phenomenon “RRR,” has solidified his position as a true box office magnet. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, adding to its star power.
Trade analysts are predicting a strong performance throughout the weekend, with a significant increase in collections expected on Saturday and Sunday. The film’s success hinges on its ability to maintain momentum during weekdays, as a sharp decline could impact its overall run.
“Devara” has been met with positive word-of-mouth, which bodes well for its long-term prospects. It remains to be seen if the film can sustain its initial box office magic and emerge as one of the biggest hits of the year.
