By the end of its first week, the film had already grossed over ₹300 crore globally.

Factors Behind Devara’s Box Office Triumph
The film’s success can be attributed to several key factors. Jr NTR’s immense star power, particularly after his global breakthrough in RRR, has played a significant role in driving audiences to theaters. His portrayal of both the father Devara and the son Varadha has resonated with fans, showcasing his versatility and emotional depth as an actor.
Koratala Siva’s direction has also been lauded for blending high-octane action with emotional storytelling. The film’s coastal setting and the revenge-driven plot, filled with familial conflicts and intense battles, have appealed to a wide range of viewers. The technical aspects of the film, including its stunning visuals and well-choreographed fight scenes, have further enhanced the viewing experience.
The film’s release across multiple languages—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam—has ensured a wide reach. The Hindi version, in particular, has done extremely well, contributing significantly to the film’s overall earnings. The lack of major competing releases has also allowed Devara to dominate the box office.
Looking Forward
With Devara continuing to perform strongly, the film is expected to cross ₹500 crore within the next few days. The upcoming Dussehra holiday period is likely to give it an additional boost, especially in its domestic market. However, the film will face new competition from Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan, which is expected to be a big Dussehra release.
Audiences are already eagerly anticipating the second part of Devara, which is expected to continue the story of Devara and Varadha. If the success of Part 1 is anything to go by, the sequel is sure to be another blockbuster hit.
Conclusion
Devara: Part 1 has proven to be a major success, both critically and commercially. With a total box office collection of ₹480 crore by Day 12, the film is on track to become one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. Jr NTR’s commanding performance, combined with Koratala Siva’s gripping direction, has made Devara a must-watch for fans of action-packed dramas. As the film continues to dominate the box office, expectations for the sequel are already sky-high.
