Jr NTR’s return to the big screen following the monumental success of RRR was highly anticipated in Indian cinema.
His latest film, Devara, generated massive pre-release hype but ultimately fell short of fans' expectations.
Now, after a 43-day run in theaters, the film’s box office collection update is here.
Released worldwide on September 27, 2024, Devara, directed by Koratala Siva, saw remarkable advance bookings, ranking as the second-highest of 2024.
It outperformed major releases like Guntur Kaaram and Indian 2, coming just behind Kalki 2898 AD. However, it received mixed reviews, with critics labeling it a “passable watch” due to a weak second half.
Currently, the buzz around Devara has dwindled, and the film is only seeing audiences in select regions. In India, its net earnings across all languages have reached 292.71 crores after 43 days.
One of the most expensive films of 2024, Devara was produced with a budget of 300 crores. Unfortunately, the film will fall short of breaking even, missing the safe zone by approximately 7 crores.
Devara North America Final Gross:
$6,078,545 across 976 locations (₹51.25 crores), making it the sixth highest-grossing Telugu film of all time and Jr NTR’s second-highest career grosser.
Devara is now premiering on Netflix!
The makers released Devara on Netflix on November 8, 2024. Given that the film is now easily available in the comfort of one’s home, the limited footfalls will also be reduced at the ticket windows. It is likely to wrap up its box office journey in the coming week.
