<i>Devara</i> Box Office Collection Day 5: Next Stop For Jr NTR And Janhvi Kapoor's Film - Rs 350 Crore
Box Office India Trade Network

DEVARA - PART 1 (Hindi) has done well over its first weekend as it collects around 26.50 crore nett in its first weekend with markets like Odisha, Bihar, CP, CI and Rajasthan doing very well. Odisha is outstanding recording third best weekend of the year after KALKI 2898 AD and STREE 2. The growth over the weekend is also good considering a huge ratio of its business is coming from markets which are not dominated by the bigger national multiplexes.

The film could have done better in Mumbai circuit as the weekend collections are 7.75-8 crore nett and dubbed films from the South normally have better ratios as in both Maharashtra and Gujarat. They have a better following here than most other circuits. There are two Marathi films doing well and that may have affected the film in Maharashtra.

The film should do well enough in mass circuits over the next few days due to the holiday period as Tuesday and Wednesday should see good collections. It remains to be seen how the film goes post the holiday period. It will have JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX for competition but that will be for a different audience.

DEVARA - PART 1 has scored big in its home market of Nizam/Andhra with collections in the 95 crore nett region while its all India number will be around 145 crore nett. KALKI 2898 AD was 174 crore with a Sunday still to come. The film opened better than KALKI 2898 AD in Nizam-Andhra but the trend is weaker.

The two day numbers of DEVARA - PART 1(Hindi) are as follows.
Friday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 10,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 26,50,00,000 apprx

DEVARA - PART 1 (Hindi) had a decent hold on Monday showing a drop of around 50% from the first day which means the film should get a good run over the the next two weeks or so. Also, there will be a holiday bump with Gandhi Jayanti on Wednesday. The film collected 3.75 crore nett on Monday taking its four day total to over 30 crore nett.

The let down of the film is probably Mumbai circuit as better business there would have ensured the film going to 70 crore nett. But the numbers in Mumbai are not going to be as high as they should be for dubbed South film probably for various reasons. 

The film has seen a drop in the home market of Nizam/Andhra which looked on the cards but it is possibly more than expected. The film pockets 95 crore nett over the weekend in Nizam/Andhra but it looks like only 7 crore nett on Monday which means 102 crore nett in four days. The overall total of the film is 157 crore nett plus over the first four days.

The four day numbers of DEVARA - PART 1 (Hindi) are as follows.
Friday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 8,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 10,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 30,25,00,000 apprx

DEVARA - PART 1 (Hindi) posted a gain in collections on Tuesday as it got advantage in evening shows due to the national holiday on Wednesday. The film collected around 4 crore nett and now the film stands at 34 crore nett in five days.

There should be a good jump on Wednesday due to Gandhi Jayanti but its mainly about where the film lands on Thursday. The circuits which were doing best did see a major drop on Monday bringing them more in line to their normal ratios and its about where these goes in the second week. The business in the bigger centres is generally less.

The first week is going over 40 crore nett for sure due to the holiday but the film still has to add. The second week is all important for the film as in week three, there will be new releases.

The five day numbers of DEVARA - PART 1 (Hindi) are as follows.
