“Devara,” which hit the screens this Friday, has made a remarkable impact at the box office, grossing over 250 crores worldwide in its first weekend, despite receiving average word-of-mouth reviews. This success has placed “Devara” as the 7th highest-grossing film in its opening weekend. Here’s a look at Tollywood’s top weekend grossers alongside “Devara”:
- Baahubali 2: 510 crores (3 days)
- RRR: 495 crores (3 days)
- Kalki 2898 AD: 494 crores (4 days)
- Salaar: 310 crores (3 days)
- Adipurush: 271 crores (3 days)
- Saaho: 255 crores (3 days)
- Devara: 250 crores (3 days)
All these films are pan-Indian hits, and each has crossed the 200-crore mark in their first weekend. Interestingly, except for “Devara,” all other films in this list are led by either director SS Rajamouli or actor Prabhas. NTR’s entry into this elite club, without the involvement of Rajamouli, is a significant milestone. As the film enters its weekday run, all eyes are on its momentum leading up to the second weekend, with expectations that it could gross 400 crores globally. The Hindi market has also shown promise, contributing over 25 crores nett in the opening weekend.
