Jr NTR is a bonafide superstar of Indian Cinema having delivered many successful films in his long career, last being SS Rajamouli’s RRR. His latest film Devara directed by Kortala Siva released a few days ago and the jury is still out on the film. The film opened to a massive Rs 82.5 crore on day 1 but since then the film has been on a downward spiral especially the Telugu version.

But it is the Hindi version that has grown strength to strength over the weekend only to witness a drop by 57 percent, whereas the overall drop was 68 per cent. Devara minted Rs 7.5 crore on Friday while the collections jumped to Rs 9 crore on Saturday and to Rs 10.5 crore on Sunday, taking the weekend collection to Rs 27 crore. But on Monday the film minted only Rs 4 crore, thus taking the overall collection of the film to Rs 31 crore, while the total collection of the film now stands at Rs 173.11 crore.
In comparison to another Telugu hit of the year , Kalki 2898 AD the film had minted more Rs 309 crore whereas the Hindi collection of the film was Rs 111.5 crore. With no film releasing till the next 10 days Devara will have a free run at the box office but the chances are very slim for a major revival for the film and crossing Rs 250 crore mark.
