NTR’s much-anticipated film Devara is causing quite a stir at the box office. Amidst Devara’s success, it has prompted admirers to compare its credits to Allu Arjun’s legendary film Pushpa. Pushpa Part 1 performed exceptionally well in other languages. However, it does not perform well in Telugu. Corona and ticket issues were important causes for Puspha’s slow performance in Andhra. But overall, in Telugu states and overseas, Devara outperforms Pushpa by a wide margin.
In Hindi, Devara is expected to collect 45 crore in its first week, while Pushpa collected in the range of 26 crore. While Pushpa had a longer run in Hindi, Devara is also maintaining the same momentum and is close to Pushpa’s numbers. But Devara is battling to beat Pushpa in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Devara failed to build excitement in Tamil Nadu and Kerala; therefore, Pushpa will take the lead.
Devara is on track to beat Pushpa’s lifetime collections this week. Like Pushpa, Devara is a multi-part film. Pushpa 2 is now experiencing a surge in popularity. The success of Devara generated a lot of buzz for Devara Part 2.Waiting to see if Pushpa 2 breaks Devara’s record. But for now, Devara is performing better than Pushpa.
