Jr NTR's highly anticipated film Devara: Part 1 is breaking records even before its official release on September 27. The advance ticket sales for the film have been nothing short of phenomenal, indicating that it is poised to make a significant impact at the box office.
Devara: Part 1 Advance Bookings
As of September 23, Devara has already sold an impressive 72,000 tickets in advance, contributing to a total of 100,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow (BMS). The film's ticket sales have been accelerating rapidly, with reports suggesting that it is selling 3,000 tickets per hour. In just a few hours, ticket sales increased to about 8,000 to 10,000 tickets per hour, showcasing the film's growing popularity among audiences.
In the United States, Devara has also made waves by selling 61,000 tickets in advance for its premiere day. This figure places it on track to potentially match or exceed the pre-sales of Jr NTR's previous blockbuster, RRR, which had set high benchmarks in advance ticket sales. The film has already earned over $1.2 million (approximately ₹8 crore) in pre-sales across North America, marking it as one of the fastest Indian films to reach this milestone.
Seeing the buzz around the film, the Telangana government issued a new GO on Monday evening approving extra shows and hiking ticket prices for Koratala Siva's upcoming film Devara: Part 1. Jr NTR, who plays the lead role in the film, thanked the government for their support.
My heartfelt thanks to the Honourable CM, Sri @revanth_anumula garu, and Cinematography Minister, Sri @KomatiReddyKVR garu, for issuing the new G.O. for the #Devara release. Grateful for your unwavering support for our Telugu Film Industry!

Directed by Koratala Siva, Devara is not just another action film; it is inspired by real events—the Karamchedu massacre of 1985. This tragic incident involved violent caste-based atrocities and serves as a backdrop for the film's narrative. Jr NTR plays a dual role in the movie, portraying both a father and son against this historical context. The film also features notable actors such as Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, with Kapoor making her debut in Telugu cinema.
The storyline revolves around themes of family loyalty and betrayal set against the coastal landscapes of India during the 1980s and 1990s. Given its compelling narrative and high-octane action sequences reminiscent of RRR, expectations are soaring high among fans and critics alike.
