The Devara fever has spread beyond India, setting new benchmarks globally. In a staggering achievement, Devara has sold 45,000 tickets in just 10 days of its USA premiere pre-sales, marking a significant milestone for Indian cinema. In North America alone, the film has raked in over $1.75 million in sales—and counting.
Previously, Devara became the fastest Indian movie to sell over 15,000 tickets, crossing $500,000 in pre-sales and surpassing records set by Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar. Meanwhile, in Australia, the film has crossed AU$100,000 in pre-sales, setting yet another record, with more locations opening soon. On the other hand, in UK the film sold 20K+ tickets. The global frenzy surrounding Devara continues to build as fans eagerly await NTR Jr.’s next blockbuster.
The buzz has been immense since the release of the trailer, which amassed over 55 million views and trended globally, solidifying Devara as one of the biggest pan-Indian films of the year.
Touted as the year’s largest mass-entertainment release, the film tells a tale set in coastal lands, navigating emotionally charged waters. NTR Jr., in his role as Devara, is portrayed as a beacon of hope for the oppressed and a tempest for evildoers, against a rich, period backdrop.
Produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, and presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Devara: Part 1 is set to release on 27 September 2024. Alongside NTR Jr., the film features Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles.
