Devara starring NTR took a sensational opening at the box office. The film minted more than 200 crores gross worldwide for 2 days surprising all. Before its release, all have thought that the film would overtake Salaar with the hype and expectations built around the film. The film grossed extraordinarily on the opening day but Day 2’s performance was not that great. This proved that Devara couldn’t topple Salaar.
Salaar grossed nearly 83 crores on its second day whereas Devara has collected around 53 crores. There is a 30 crore difference in the revenue for the Day 2 between the films. Day 3 Advance bookings also show signs of Devara not exceeding Salaar. All these show that Devara may not be able to beat Salaar. Considering the pre-release business, Devara may still become a big blockbuster.
Devara needs only a 400 crore box office run for a hit status. The weekend gross is estimated to be around 250 crores worldwide. With the dussehra holidays coming in the next weekend, the film will very well cross the 400 crore mark and emerge as a clean success. Salaar’s worldwide gross stands at 600 crores which looks impossible to be beaten by Devara. Devara’s other language performance is not upto the mark which is also one of the reasons why it can’t go close to Salaar.
