Devara Box Office Collection Week 2: Alia Bhatt, Rajinikanth To Send Jr NTR Packing Before Dussehra

Devara Box Office Collection: Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Devara Part 1 released in cinema halls on September 27 amid much anticipation. The pan-India film has completed two weeks of its theatrical run with ₹379 crore collection worldwide. Going forward, the box office battle has become interesting with three new releases - Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan, Alia Bhatt 's Jigra and Rajkummar Rao's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video- competing for screens and audiences attention.

Devara box office collection week 2

The business of the Jr NTR starrer has dipped drastically in its second week, indicating tough times ahead for the Koratala Siva directorial. After opening to ₹73.25 crore in Telugu alone, on its 14th day, the collections have dipped to ₹2.23 crore. The significant decline has suggested that a bounce back is not possible for Jr NTR's film in the third weekend.

In Hindi, a similar pattern has emerged. While the opening was at ₹7.5 crore and rose to ₹10.5 crore on the first Sunday, the numbers have declined in the first and the second week. On its 14th day, Devara minted ₹1.21 crore, taking its Hindi collection to ₹58 crore. Overall, the collection in India stands at ₹260 crore nett in all languages.

Competition heats up at the box office with new releases

Rajnikanth's Vettaiyan, which released on October 10, will give competition to Devara in Telugu states. On its opening day, Vettaiyan earned more than Jr NTR's film, pegging itself as a big competitor in the region. Meanwhile, up North, Alia Bhatt 's Jigra and Stree 2 star Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video will pose as challengers to Devara.

With the Hindi releases taking over the screens, Devara will definitely struggle to find audiences in the North markets.
