NTR Sets a New Pan-India Benchmark: ‘Devara’ Crosses 100 Crore Milestone
Prabhas has long dominated the pan-India cinema landscape, standing tall as a superstar with unparalleled reach across the country. His massive success, which extends beyond the traditional Telugu market, sets him apart from his peers. Despite having a strong competition with other Tier 1 Telugu actors like Jr NTR and Ram Charan, Prabhas has managed to establish his supremacy with consistent box office results. However, the chase to match his pan-India appeal has become fiercer than ever.
As we approach the release of three highly anticipated pan-India Telugu films, one stands out – Jr NTR’s Devara, which is set to hit the big screens on September 27. The film comes with high stakes, as NTR’s box office performance in the pan-India market is crucial for solidifying his status as a national star.
With the massive success of RRR, NTR stepped into the spotlight of pan-Indian cinema, but there’s an added layer of expectation now. Unlike RRR, where the combined forces of Ram Charan and SS Rajamouli played a significant role in its triumph, Devara will test NTR’s individual star power. The actor needs to prove his widespread appeal, particularly in the lucrative Hindi-speaking belt, where achieving strong openings has become the benchmark for stars with pan-India recognition.
A 100-crore worldwide gross on the opening day has become a litmus test for the top-tier stars in India. Prabhas, having consistently crossed this mark with films like Baahubali 2, Saaho, Adipurush and the upcoming Salaar and Kalki, has set the standard for what it means to be a truly pan-Indian star.
In recent years, other stars like Shah Rukh Khan with Pathaan and Jawan, Vijay with Leo and The GOAT, Yash with KGF 2, and Ranbir Kapoor with Animal have joined the exclusive 100-crore opening club. Now, the pressure is on for NTR to replicate such success with Devara.
However, one key factor looms over NTR’s challenge – RRR’s success was not solely his. SS Rajamouli’s directorial brilliance was pivotal in catapulting the film into pan-India stardom. Now, Devara will serve as a crucial test for NTR to demonstrate that he can independently command such box office numbers.
The pre-release buzz surrounding Devara has been promising, with its promotional material and early glimpses sparking excitement among fans. If the film’s trailer strikes the right chord and the early reviews generate positive word of mouth, Devara could potentially break through the 100-crore barrier on its opening day. In fact, some projections suggest that if everything aligns perfectly, the film could even gross up to 125 crores worldwide in its initial release day.
If NTR achieves this milestone, it would mark a significant moment in Tollywood’s history. He would become only the second Telugu hero, after Prabhas, to accomplish a 100-crore opening with a solo film. This would be an undeniable validation of his pan-India stardom.
On the flip side, Devara faces enormous pressure. The film’s performance hinges on several factors, including the reception of its trailer and the overall buzz in the weeks leading up to its release. If the trailer fails to generate excitement, or if early screenings receive lukewarm responses, the film’s first-day numbers could suffer, leading to a less-than-stellar opening.
As Devara gears up for its release, all eyes are on Jr NTR. Will this be the film that propels him into the elite league of pan-Indian superstars, or will the immense pressure take its toll on the film’s performance? Only time will tell.Read more
