Devara, starring Jr NTR in the lead role, has completed its opening week, and one must say, it was a solid display of stardom by the Tollywood superstar. He returned to the big screen after a long gap, and fans celebrated it like a festival. Riding purely on NTR’s stardom, the magnum opus amassed a colossal collection of above 200 crores net at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 7!
Jr NTR proves his stardom!
RRR was a beast at the box office, and it helped Jr NTR reach a new height in popularity. However, it wasn’t clear where exactly the superstar stood in terms of pull among the masses, as RRR had the backing of SS Rajamouli’s brand. So, with his latest release, it was his litmus test, and guess what—the actor has passed it with flying colors.
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Jr NTR reinstated that he’s one of the biggest forces, with or without SS Rajamouli. In North India, too, he has established himself as a rising pan-India star, as Devara (Hindi) has already become a success.
After an earth-shattering start of 83 crores net, Devara maintained a stronghold over the weekend. Yes, during weekdays, it did suffer a drop, but overall, it managed to pull off a solid total.

Including this, the film stands at 218.85 crores net (all languages) at the Indian box office by the end of its first week.
