Devara, starring NTR, is one of the most highly anticipated films in Tollywood, with its release set for September 27th worldwide. Having completed all formalities, the film has already generated massive business across regions. The advance bookings are exceptional, and the pre-release business has crossed ₹200 crores globally, with the Telugu version alone accounting for ₹160 crores.
Here’s a breakdown of the area-wise business:
- Nizam: ₹45 crores
- Ceded: ₹25 crores
- Uttarandhra (U/A): ₹14 crores
- Guntur: ₹8.5 crores
- East Godavari: ₹8.5 crores
- West Godavari: ₹6.5 crores
- Krishna: ₹7 crores
- Nellore: ₹4 crores
Total AP/Telangana business stands at ₹118.5 crores. Beyond that:
- Tamil Nadu: ₹8 crores
- Karnataka: ₹16 crores
- Kerala: ₹2.5 crores
- Rest of India: ₹30 crores
The all-India business total is ₹175 crores, while the overseas pre-release business adds another ₹28 crores, bringing the worldwide pre-release total to ₹203 crores.
For the film to break even, Devara will need to gross nearly ₹300 crores in the Telugu version and an additional ₹100 crores from other language versions. A ₹400 crore worldwide gross would make the film a blockbuster.
The recently released trailer has further fueled the hype, raising expectations sky-high. Both NTR and director Koratala Siva are banking on Devara’s success, with NTR eyeing a major breakthrough as a Pan-Indian star. All eyes are now on Devara’s release to see if it can live up to the massive expectations
