Rampage in Telugu states
Thanks to Jr NTR’s crazy fan base, the magnum opus was always expected to cause mayhem in Telugu states, and that’s exactly what happened. In fact, the performance in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh exceeded all expectations, and the film pulled off a record-breaking start for a non-SS Rajamouli film.
These two states alone have contributed over 80% of the total opening day collection at the Indian box office, which is simply phenomenal and proves the actor’s hold over the masses.
Devara was predicted to be in the range of 72-78 crores on day 1, but in reality, it exceeded expectations and clocked a staggering 83 crores net at the Indian box office. Yes, you read that right! The film went past the 80 crore mark yesterday, and with this, it registered the 8th biggest opening of all time for an Indian film at the Indian box office.
Take a look at the top 10 Indian openers of all time:
RRR – 134 crores
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion – 121 crores
KGF Chapter 2 – 116 crores
Kalki 2898 AD – 93 crores
Salaar – 92 crores
Adipurush – 89 crores
Saaho – 88 crores
Devara – 83 crores
