Devara Poised for Box Office Success: Could It Hit $4 Million in the First Weekend?

“Devara,” the highly anticipated movie featuring Jr. NTR, is creating a significant buzz ahead of its release. Following the success of “RRR,” which brought Jr. NTR fame across India, expectations are high for this new film. Despite a mixed response to its trailer, the excitement surrounding “Devara” remains strong.

Advance bookings for the film are expected to be robust in Telugu states, with industry insiders predicting record-breaking openings. Initial estimates suggest that “Devara” could earn around $4 million in its first weekend in the United States alone. The film has already surpassed $1 million in pre-sales, and with the premieres, it is projected to reach $1.5 million.

While the film may not consistently earn $1 million daily over the weekend, positive reviews could lead to impressive collections on Saturday. “Devara” is anticipated to perform well, especially since it is also being released in IMAX, enhancing the viewing experience. Starring Janhvi Kapoor opposite Jr. NTR, and featuring Saif Ali Khan as the villain, “Devara” has all the ingredients for success.

If it garners favorable word-of-mouth, it is poised to make a significant impact at the box office, potentially landing in the top 10 films for the weekend. Trade experts agree: with the right reception, “Devara” could achieve outstanding financial results. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await what could be a blockbuster hit.

Nani’s “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram” Continues to Impress

Natural Star Nani’s action drama, “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,” continues to perform exceptionally well at the box office despite nearing its 30th day of release. The film, which hit theaters on August 29th, has garnered positive reviews and has become a significant commercial success for Nani.

Despite facing competition from the upcoming release of “Devara,” “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram” has achieved another milestone. The film has crossed the $2.5 million mark in North America alone, making it the highest-grossing film in Nani’s career. The makers have officially announced this achievement through a stylish poster.

The film’s success can be attributed to its strong narrative, impressive performances by Nani and SJ Suryah, and excellent technical quality. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the female lead, while Murali Sharma and Sai Kumar deliver impactful performances in supporting roles. Jakes Bejoy’s music has also been widely praised.

While the film’s slow pace has been noted by some critics, its overall positive reception and strong box office performance demonstrate its appeal to audiences. Director Vivek Athreya’s fresh approach to a familiar subject and his brilliant screenplay are major strengths of the film.

As “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram” approaches the end of its theatrical run, it has solidified its position as a commercial success. The film’s OTT release on Netflix this weekend will further expand its reach and ensure its continued popularity.
