Devara Part 1 directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor had a good first week at the worldwide box office as it grossed Rs 303.50 crore in 7 days. Of the Rs 303.50 crore, the movie grossed Rs 235 crore in India, while the international markets contributed with Rs 68.50 crore. After a bumper opening, the Jr NTR starrer saw a reasonably good hold on Saturday and Sunday. It dropped significantly on Monday. The hold on Tuesday and the jump in collections on Gandhi Jayanti day rose hopes but the movie again dropped big on Thursday.

Devara Part 1 Grosses Rs 300 Crore At The Worldwide Box Office In Week 1

The trend of Devara Part 1 has been a turbulent one. There were moments in week 1 where the movie looked to gross over Rs 400 crore and there also were moments where it felt like reaching Rs 320 crore could be a struggle. The final result is that the sea-adventure film will end its run, right in the middle of the two extremes. Given how well the rights of the film are valued, the movie will breakeven and that automatically means that the film is a hit.

Devara Part 1 Has Done Reasonably Well In Hindi But What's Really Missing Is A Breakout Trend

Devara Part 1 however is beyond verdicts. What the film would have liked is a stronger trend and a breakout for the Hindi version. Yes, it has acted as a good filler for theatres in the north but a breakout is missing. Part 2 very much makes sense at this point in time but will Jr NTR and team go ahead with it after War 2 and the tentatively titled NTRNeel is to be seen.
