Jr NTR starrer Devara has knocked it out of the park on day 1. The Telugu language action drama scored the second-highest Indian opening of 2024, after Kalki 2898 AD. The advance booking sales have witnessed a considerable dip on Saturday. Scroll below for the latest updates!
It had been two and a half years since fans witnessed Jr NTR on the big screens. He was last seen in SS Rajamouli’s blockbuster RRR. Fans have huge expectations from the action drama, which has opened to mixed reviews at the box office.
Devara Day 2 Advance Booking
On the second day, Koratala Siva’s directorial added 18 crores gross (excluding blocked seats) to its kitty via advance booking. This includes around 13 crores gross from Telangana + AP alone. There’s been a huge dip of 64% in pre-sales on the second day.
But this trend is usual for Telugu and Tamil films, which witness earth-shattering trends on the opening day, followed by a fall on the next day. Hopefully, the spot bookings throughout the day will compensate for the fall in advance booking.
