Directed by Koratala Siva, this film has not only marked Jr NTR’s return to the big screen after a two-year hiatus but has also set new benchmarks for box office collections in Indian cinema.
Box Office Performance
Devara debuted on September 27, 2024, and made an impressive start at the box office. Here’s a breakdown of its earnings over the first three days:
- Day 1: ₹82.5 crore (domestic)

Comparison with Other Films
Devara opened at the second position in the worldwide box office rankings, only behind The Wild Robot, which earned $44 million during the same period. The film’s opening weekend collection of approximately $32.9 million placed it ahead of other notable releases like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Transformers One, which earned $29 million and $25 million respectively.
This achievement makes Devara Jr NTR’s second film to enter the ₹300 crore club globally, following his previous blockbuster RRR. The film’s success has surpassed that of Thalapathy Vijay’s Varisu, which accumulated ₹297.55 crore over six weeks.
