Hyderabad: Tollywood superstar NTR’s much-anticipated pan-India action drama Devara, directed by Koratala Siva, made a thunderous debut at the box office yesterday, registering a massive global opening. The film, which had already set the stage with historic pre-sales, has received an overwhelmingly positive response from both fans and critics, further propelling its box office success.
The makers of Devara took to social media today to announce that the film collected a staggering ₹172 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. With this, NTR has shattered several non-RRR opening day records, not just in India but also in overseas markets. In North America alone, Devara grossed an impressive $3.40 million on day one, solidifying NTR’s international box office clout.
Record-Breaking Numbers
In the domestic market, Devara pulled in a sensational ₹54.21 crore share (excluding GST) from Andhra Pradesh, Nizam, and Ceded regions on its first day. This historic opening stands second only to Rajamouli’s RRR, which also starred NTR. The film’s Hindi version performed well across India, raking in over ₹7.50 crore, signaling the actor’s growing pan-India appeal.
Stellar Cast and Crew
Devara boasts a star-studded ensemble, with Bollywood heavyweights Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor playing pivotal roles alongside NTR. The film was produced by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Mikkilineni Sudhakar, and Kosaraju Hari Krishna, adding a big-budget backing to this ambitious project. Anirudh Ravichander’s electrifying soundtrack has also been singled out as one of the major highlights, contributing to the film’s mass appeal.
Industry Response
The resounding success of Devara on its opening day has further cemented NTR’s position as one of India’s top action stars. With fans flocking to cinemas in record numbers and critical acclaim pouring in, the film is poised to continue its box office dominance in the coming days.
