All the profits of Lokah Part 1 & other parts, I’m going to share with all of the team. Because they are truly deserving of this. For Part 1 there are zero expectations, even for the teaser & trailer. We have more responsibility now to deliver big for other parts.”

The American pre-sales and the impact of Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG and NTR’s Devara and War 2 have a very distinctive picture. The numbers show that the star heroes are seeing some surprising numbers within a very quick time in America.

Devara is directed by Koratala Siva, who came after a failure like Acharya. But still, it has an astonishing opening with 2.85M premieres, which is one of the biggest starts ever for Telugu cinema. But when it came to NTR’s next film, War 2, the same did not repeat.

The sequel of War sees a disastrous opening with 500K premieres in Telugu, with a 925K start for all versions. One can easily see the complete contrast opening for back-to-back films.

Pawan Kalyan and NTR – Contrast Openings in America for the last two films

Interestingly, the same happened with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which was released a month before and opened with a disastrous opening in America with just around an 800K start, which is even less than Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom.

But now his upcoming film, OG, even with 3 weeks left for the theatrical release, crosses 1M in presales for premieres and sets an all-time record and is heading towards 3M+ premieres.

This shows how contrasting the openings are for Pawan Kalyan’s OG – Hari Hara Veera Mallu and NTR’s Devara and War 2.

Star heroes are definitely succeeding in getting big numbers whenever they are delivering what audiences are expecting from them. It’s up to directors to showcase their strengths, which is the best way to bring phenomenal numbers.
