The trailer of NTR’s Devara was released yesterday and is already hitting record numbers. Devara trailer has so far hit 8.7 million + views and more than 6.7 lakh likes. These are terrific numbers and have given a great boost to NTR fans and Koratala Siva who is eager to make a strong comeback. While neutral fans have given mixed responses to the trailer, some questions have also cropped up about the movie.
With the trailer, it is clear that Tarak will be seen as a father and son in two roles. This characterization is a tried and tested formula across industries. And now it all depends on how well the story is executed.
Fans have even pointed out some eerie similarities the film has with Koratala’s previous film Acharya. Several shots and characters look quite similar to Acharya. It appears that Saif Ali Khan’s character has been written quite similar to that of Sonu Sood’s character in Acharya. Apart from this, it also looks like the friendly wrestling bout between Ram Charan and Sonu Sood has been replicated with NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
The areal shots, frames, and some fight sequences also have an Acharya hangover and this has raised some questions about the movie. Many also felt that from the Devara trailer, the movie does not look like a massive pan-India film. It looks like a regular mass Telugu film with father and son taking revenge.
While Devara trailer is doing great numbers and pre-sales are also terrific, the success now depends on NTR stardom and first-day talk. NTR surely has the box office pull to make audiences throng to theatres for even routing projects. But fans are also confident that Koratala Siva has some more tricks up his sleeve which will be revealed in theatres.
