Devara starring Jr NTR opened to a remarkable response, earning over Rs 215 crore in its first week at the Indian box office.
While it may face challenges in maintaining its momentum over time, the film has already underscored Jr NTR’s superstar appeal.
In fact, when compared to other post SS Rajamouli films, Devara seems to have surpassed Prabhas’ Saaho, further solidifying Jr NTR’s influence in Tollywood. For a full breakdown of this achievement, continue reading the detailed report.
In Tollywood, SS Rajamouli’s influence is unparalleled. His name alone can attract audiences, often outweighing the star power of any leading actor.

Being part of a Rajamouli project is a dream for most actors because of the massive expectations and the opportunity to be associated with a guaranteed box office success.
The real challenge begins after working with SS Rajamouli. Actors often face enormous pressure to meet the high bar set by his films, as expectations at the box office skyrocket.
It’s a double-edged sword: while being in a Rajamouli film elevates an actor’s career to new heights, the post-Rajamouli phase can be tough, as audiences expect nothing less than colossal box office performances.
We’ve seen this play out with stars like Jr NTR and Prabhas, whose projects after RRR and Baahubali faced immense scrutiny.
After the massive success of Baahubali 2, Prabhas felt the weight of expectations with his subsequent film, Saaho.
Although it was a challenging feat to match the monumental acclaim of its predecessor, Saaho still managed to perform decently at the box office, collecting Rs 311 crore net in India.
Saaho earned almost Rs 153 crore net from its Telugu release. While Devara managed to exceed collecting over Rs 165 crore net in its first week.
Jr NTR, marking his return to the big screen after RRR, has surpassed Prabhas in Telugu box office collections for their films following their collaborations with SS Rajamouli.
Following the success of Baahubali 2, Prabhas faced intense scrutiny to recreate that level of triumph with Saaho. Although consistently achieving such high standards is a formidable task, Saaho still performed decently, earning Rs 311 crore net in India.
