Hyderabad: Jr NTR's latest action-packed film, Devara: Part 1, is proving its mettle at the box office with a notable resurgence in ticket sales. After facing periodic declines, the film has experienced a remarkable upswing over the weekend, particularly on its ninth and tenth day in theaters. Industry tracker Sacnilk reports that the film saw a substantial growth of 32.43% on Sunday which marks it's tenth day of release.
Directed by Koratala Siva, Devara: Part 1 was released on September 27. Despite a rocky start characterised by fluctuations in earnings, the film has managed to sustain an impressive performance over its ten-day run. Following modest earnings of Rs 7.25 crore and Rs 6 crore on Thursday and Friday respectively, the film rebounded on Saturday with earnings of Rs 9.25 crore. Sunday marked a significant increase as the film grossed around Rs 12.25 crore. This growth is particularly encouraging, especially considering the ongoing Navratri celebrations, which typically draw audiences away for festivities.
Breaking down the numbers, the Telugu version of Devara contributed around Rs 8 crore, while the Hindi version added approximately Rs 3.75 crore. The remaining revenue came from its Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions, demonstrating the film's broad appeal across different language markets.
