About the film

The film stars Jr NTR in a dual role, alongside Saif Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Srikanth Meka, Tom Shine Chacko, and Narain. Saif is seen as Bhaira, a master of kushti (wrestling), whose seemingly invincible world is upended by Jr NTR’s character. It received mixed reviews upon release but had a massive opening day, minting ₹172 crore.

It tells the story of the titular character Devara, played by Jr NTR, who refuses to allow the men of Yerra Samudram to take part in illegal activities after doing it for years. It also shows how his son Vara steps up to carry on the family legacy.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “If you’ve paid close attention to the trailers of Devara: Part 1, this is a story you can predict from a mile away. The film’s first half takes its time to set up the legend of the titular character and how he came to be the protector of the seas. Anyone who dares cross him is marked and almost left for dead. The men who never knew fear now do.”
