‘RRR’ which released in 2022, had gone on to mint about Rs 272 crore in Hindi while the overall collection of the film was Rs 782 crore. Keeping in mind the film’s phenomenal run at the box office, coupled with the popularity of Telugu films dubbed in Hindi like ‘Pushpa: The Rise’, ‘Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire’ and ‘Baahubali’ series, one would expect ‘Devara‘ to also take off on a flying start.But somehow Jr NTR’s release has been met with a very muted response with an overall Hindi collection of just Rs 71 .40 lakh with just 1 day to go before the release. The film is expected to cross at least Rs 1 crore before the film hits the big screens on 27th September.
The overall day 1 advance sales of the film in the county stand at Rs 45.42 crore (including block booking) and is all primed to cross Rs 50 crore before the end of the day. The movie is expected to take a Rs 100 crore opening across the globe with the USA premiere day collection already hitting the Rs 19 crore mark and the UK collections hitting the Rs 3.35 crore mark.
