As the release of Devara, featuring South superstar Jr. NTR and Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, inches closer, the excitement is building. The film, directed by Koratala Siva, has already started to make headlines with its impressive advance bookings. Fans are eager to witness Jr. NTR’s return to the big screen after his success in RRR. On day 1 of its advance booking, Devara has already raked in substantial earnings, positioning itself as a major box office contender, even posing a challenge to the long-standing dominance of Stree 2.
Advance Booking Success: Devara Off to a Strong Start
The buzz surrounding Devara has been growing for weeks, and now, the film’s advance booking figures for day 1 have given it a significant head start. As per reports, the film collected over ₹30 crore globally in pre-sales by Tuesday. Within India, more than 469,000 tickets have already been sold, resulting in an estimated ₹11.66 crore in advance bookings for the first day alone. This remarkable achievement shows that Devara has captured the attention of moviegoers across the country.
Jr. NTR’s Highly Anticipated Return After RRR
Fans of Jr. NTR have been eagerly awaiting his return to the silver screen, and Devara marks his first lead role since his massive success in RRR, released in 2022. Not only is Devara his return to the big screen after two years, but it is also his first solo lead film in six years since Aravinda Sametha. Given the immense popularity he garnered post-RRR, expectations are incredibly high, and the advance bookings are a clear sign of the excitement surrounding his comeback.
A Serious Challenge to Stree 2’s Box Office Reign
Released earlier this year, Stree 2 has been a box office juggernaut, holding strong even 41 days after its release. However, with the arrival of Devara, Stree 2 may finally face some stiff competition. Stree 2 has captivated audiences with its blend of horror and comedy, but the buzz around Devara suggests that the new release could disrupt its winning streak. Given Jr. NTR’s massive fan base and the unique pairing of him with Janhvi Kapoor, Devara is already shaping up to be a box office hit.
Global Pre-Sales: Setting the Stage for a Blockbuster
The global success of Devara’s advance bookings hints at the film’s potential to dominate the box office. With more than ₹30 crore in pre-sales worldwide, Devara is expected to open strong when it releases on September 27. The enthusiasm surrounding the film is palpable, and with more theaters opening up pre-bookings across India, these numbers are likely to increase before the film’s official release.
A Two-Part Cinematic Experience
What makes Devara even more intriguing is that it will be released in two parts. The first part is set to hit theaters on September 27, while the second part is rumored to release next year. Fans are eager to see how the storyline will unfold and what surprises are in store in the concluding chapter.
Conclusion: Devara Set to Dominate the Box Office
With strong advance bookings, a stellar cast, and Jr. NTR’s much-awaited return, Devara is set to be one of the biggest films of the year. As the release date approaches, it will be interesting to see how the film performs against Stree 2, which has enjoyed a dominant run. All signs point to Devara being a blockbuster, and its early success in advance bookings only reinforces its potential to be a massive box office hit.
