Devara, latest film of NTR is rocking the box office like anything. Many websites including Track Tollywood and rest reported that the film has collected between 340-370 crores worldwide in 10 days. But the makers have announced officially with a poster that Devara has collected 466 crores gross in 10 days. This depitcts a 100 crore difference in the numbers tracked by websites.

With a film becoming a big hit, we definitely expect the makers to exaggerate the numbers for publicity. Other biggie films like Adipurush, Salaar, Guntur Kaaram and Kalki 2898 AD had exaggerated the numbers a bit and presented the numbers. Devara makers also continuing the same trend and definitely a 500 Cr poster will be out from the team this week.

Devara is performing well. After 2nd weekend, Yesterday the film holds very good note and posts respectable numbers. This week it will post big numbers due to the holiday advantage of Dussehra. The film is also expected to touch the 400 crore mark by then without a doubt.

Satellite Troubles For Pan-Indian Films!

0

With the arrival of the OTT platforms, the dimensions of feature films have undergone many alterations. The satellite market in particular is on the verge of collapse since films are usually telecasted post-a film’s digital premiere.

Even big-budgeted pan-Indian films are garnering poor viewership due to their availability on streaming platforms online beforehand. Most recently, Jr. NTR’s Devara: Part One and Prabhas’s Kalki 2898 AD have had trouble finding satellite platforms.

This phenomenon is particularly significant for flop movies that have an early OTT release. This not only kills the theatrical footfalls but also leads to disastrous TRP ratings on television. This is one of the main reasons why a lot of big-budgeted films are being shelved after being officially announced.
