Jr. NTR's 'Devara' Shatters Records: A ₹300 Crore Triumph in 3 Days, Tarak Breaks a 23-Year-Old Flop Streak
Jr. NTR's latest film 'Devara' has achieved remarkable success at the box office, raking in ₹300 crores in just the first three days and is now swiftly marching towards the ₹500 crore club. In this film, Tarak is paired with Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor, while Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist. 'Devara' has brought several intriguing aspects of Tarak's capabilities to the forefront, providing him a victory that even a global star like Prabhas has not achieved. Once again, Tarak has proven to be a boon for directors who have previously experienced flops.
Hits with Flop Directors!
It can be said that Jr. NTR has become a savior for Tollywood directors who have previously faced failures. Directors who lost their fame due to massive disasters have seen their fortunes revive when teaming up with Tarak. This was recently proven with 'Devara' as well. Director Koratala Siva, who faced criticism with the disaster of 'Acharya', achieved solid success with Tarak in 'Devara'. Tarak has also revived the careers of directors like Puri Jagannadh with 'Temper' after his series of flops, Sukumar with 'Nannaku Prematho' after the failure of '1: Nenokkadine', and Bobby with 'Jai Lava Kusa' after a flop with Ravi Teja. He also brought Trivikram back from the brink after the disaster of 'Agnyaathavaasi' with 'Aravinda Sametha'. In this way, Tarak continues to create new records by turning flop directors into hit-makers.
The Only Unbeaten Hero: Tarak
In any hero's career, hits and flops are common. Even big star heroes cannot guarantee that every film will be embraced by the audience. Even global star Prabhas faced flops with films like 'Saaho', 'Radhe Shyam', and 'Adipurush' following 'Baahubali'. However, Tarak has been unstoppable in the industry without a single flop over the last nine years. His last seven films have been blockbusters at the box office, including 'Temper', 'Nannaku Prematho', 'Janatha Garage', 'Jai Lava Kusa', 'Aravinda Sametha', 'RRR', and 'Devara'. Tarak stands out as the only hero of his generation to achieve this feat. With big upcoming projects like 'Devara 2', 'NTR 31' with Prashanth Neel, and a rumored film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tarak's winning streak looks set to continue.
Breaking a 23-Year-Old Flop Record
It is well-known that a film with director SS Rajamouli is bound to be a blockbuster. However, no hero has managed to hit immediately following a film with Rajamouli. But with 'Devara', Tarak has broken this flop sentiment. After 'RRR' with Rajamouli, Tarak immediately achieved a solid victory with 'Devara'. Interestingly, Tarak, who kick-started this flop sentiment with Rajamouli's first film 'Student No.1', has himself broken it exactly 23 years after the release of 'Student No.1'.
Tarak in the Role of a Farmer!
Under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the upcoming project 'NTR 31', produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is generating buzz in Tollywood. Rumored to be a periodic action drama, the film is said to be set in Bangladesh and will portray Tarak as a young farmer who becomes embroiled in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. The film will reportedly showcase Tarak in two different variations, promising a next-level character portrayal and performance different from his previous roles.
Rashmika as the Heroine?
Director Prashanth Neel is currently busy with the pre-production work for 'NTR 31', focusing on casting the main roles. Reports suggest that Rashmika Mandanna is being considered to star opposite Tarak, which would mark their first film together if confirmed. 'NTR 31' is planned for release as a Sankranthi gift in 2026, with shooting expected to start soon. The music for the movie will be composed by Ravi Basrur, with cinematography handled by Bhuvan Gowda.

Rumors Swirl Around Jr NTR's 'Devara': Is the Hit 'Daavudi' Song Really Cut?
The Pan India film 'Devara' (Devara: Part 1), featuring Man of Masses Jr NTR and star director Koratala Siva, is set to release globally with grandeur on September 27. As the release date approaches, the film team is fully engaged in promotions. They are generating significant hype for the film with back-to-back interviews in Bollywood, while Tarak is also dropping hints, heightening fans' anticipation. Amidst this excitement, Tarak’s fans received some unsettling news. There’s a widespread rumor on social media that the hit Daavudi song has been removed from the movie. Let’s uncover the truth behind this.
No Need to Worry!
Young music sensation Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for Devara. As part of the promotions, three songs have been released so far. Besides 'Fear' and 'Chuttamalle,' the third single, 'Daavudi,' was released and created a sensation. These three songs have shaken up YouTube and social media with millions of views. However, the latest buzz suggested that this song would not appear in the film. Due to the film's lengthy runtime, it was rumored that some scenes and this song were cut. Fans of the Daavudi song are disappointed, and there has been no clear communication from the film unit. However, given the song's popularity, if it’s not possible in the middle of the movie, it’s almost certain that it will be played during the end credits, as confirmed by close sources.

Tarak Stirs Up a Storm
On September 4, the makers released the 'Daavudi' song from 'Devara,' and it quickly trended. This song faced trolls comparing it to the 'Arabic Kuthu' song from the movie 'Beast.' Some even commented on NTR’s height compared to Janhvi. However, Tarak swept all these aside with his energetic dance performance. Janhvi’s steps and charm also added a special allure to the song, which has racked up millions of views on YouTube. Many fans feel that watching such a song in theaters is a real thrill, so chances of this song being removed are very slim.

Trending Nationally
As part of the Devara film promotions, the released songs are currently making waves on YouTube. Four of Devara’s songs have secured spots in the top 25 trending list. The Daavudi (Telugu) song is in the first position, while Daavudi (Hindi) has taken the seventh spot. The Chuttamalle (Telugu) song is at the 18th position, and Daavudi (Tamil) has secured the 25th spot. It’s notable that four songs from this film have made it into the top trending list.

Even before its release, Devara has set several records and has now surpassed the movie 'Pushpa 2' in pre-release interest on BookMyShow. The platform recently revealed that while 334,000 people showed interest in 'Pushpa 2,' 'Devara' has attracted interest from 336,000 people. This film marks another collaboration between Koratala Siva and NTR after 'Janatha Garage,' and will be released in two parts. Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist in the film.

Devara Runtime Sparks Debate: Is Koratala Siva Taking a Risk?
The movie 'Devara,' directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, is being released in two parts. Part 1 is set to release on the 27th of this month. Recently, the censor formalities for 'Devara' were completed, and the movie's runtime has been fixed by the censor board members. The lengthy runtime has sparked new tensions among fans, with comments circulating online questioning if the Devara team is knowingly taking a risk. Let's explore the reasons behind this.
Censor Clear
The movie 'Devara,' starring Jr. NTR and Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine, has completed its censor formalities. The censor board has issued a U/A certificate and fixed the film’s duration at 2 hours and 57 minutes. This means Devara is nearly three hours long, a substantial runtime. However, due to the extensive action sequences and the need to establish the story, the makers have decided on a longer duration.
Are They Knowingly Taking a Risk?
Film analysts opine that bringing 'Devara' with almost three hours of runtime is a significant risk. Keeping the audience engaged for three hours is not trivial. Any lag in the story or unnecessary scenes could negatively impact the film, as evidenced by several previous releases. Even if the story is compelling, the lengthy runtime has hurt those films. Therefore, there's a warning that even slight miscalculations in 'Devara' could lead to significant setbacks. Some of Tarak's fans are also expressing concerns about the runtime online.
Films Hurt by Long Run Times!
Recent releases like 'Bharateeyudu2', 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', and 'Ante Sundaraniki' came to the audience with longer durations and received flop talks. Apart from 'Bharateeyudu 2', the other two films had good content but failed to impress due to the extended duration. In 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', even though Ravi Teja delivered a strong performance, the length made it feel dragged. The same happened with 'Ante Sundaraniki', which despite a unique concept about the problems arising in a romance between individuals of different faiths, was criticized for feeling like a serial due to its length.
The Burden on Koratala!
If Koratala Siva can work his magic as he did in his past films, then the runtime might not be an issue. If he perfectly blends Tarak’s acting with the story, narrative, and production, the runtime of 'Devara' could turn into a big plus. Observing Koratala Siva's previous works like 'Mirchi', 'Bharat Ane Nenu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Srimanthudu', one can appreciate his directorial skills. He has been successful in creating compelling drama and screenplay around simple storylines. If 'Devara' can repeat this magic, fans have a reason to rejoice. His recent works and past successes suggest that if 'Devara' can maintain this magic, it will be unstoppable.
Rajamouli's Flop Fear!
Another fear accompanying 'Devara' is the alleged curse following actors who work with the legendary director Rajamouli, experiencing massive flops in their subsequent films. This pattern was noted with Ravi Teja, Prabhas, and Ram Charan. Despite hits like 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak’s films post those were disasters, like 'Subbu' and 'Andhrawala', leaving indelible marks on his career. Given that Tarak's last film 'RRR' was under Rajamouli's direction, there’s apprehension about 'Devara'. Fans are anxious whether this sentiment will repeat, yet there's hope that 'Devara' will break this pattern.

Devara: Koratala Siva's Signature Formula, Trailer Release, and Rising Expectations for NTR's Next Blockbuster"
The film 'Devara' (Devara: Part 1), directed by Koratala Siva and starring Tarak, is currently generating buzz nationwide. Following the global hit 'RRR', expectations are high for this new movie from Tarak, not just in Telugu but also in the North. The trailer is also set to release today, causing hashtags like #JrNTR, #DevaraTrailer, #KoratalaSiva to trend online. Director Koratala Siva is known for following a special formula in each of his films. A close examination of his previous films reveals this pattern. Based on this, some netizens have predicted the plot of Devara, which is now going viral online. Let’s see what those details are.
Is This Koratala's Formula?
Koratala Siva's directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Srimanthudu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Bharat Ane Nenu' have been blockbuster successes. Although the stories and settings of these films vary, the underlying formula remains the same. This involves an outsider hero who goes to a new place and stands up for the people suffering there, confronting the villain causing the trouble. As it turns out, there is a past connection between the hero and the local villain. Recalling the plots of these films and applying the said formula, one might agree that this could indeed be true. Koratala Siva’s previous film 'Acharya' also followed this formula, where Chiru, as an outsider, goes to a place called Padagattam and ends the chaos created by villains there, with a flashback linking Ram Charan to Chiru and Padagattam.
Is This the Story of Devara?
Based on Koratala Siva’s formula from his previous films, some netizens have predicted the plot of Devara. According to them, the red sea shown in the first teaser is presumed to be a significant location. In this area, NTR leads the fishermen and confronts the villains causing disruptions. In a twist, the villains’ gang plots and seemingly defeats him. However, NTR's son, surviving an attack by the villains, grows up and returns to the area to exact revenge on the villains. Some commentators believe that this plot fits Koratala’s formula and could indeed be the storyline of 'Devara'. However, whether this is accurate remains to be seen, though many posts suggest the plot is quite convincing.
Devara Creates History
The film 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, is set to release worldwide on September 27. Having already set records with its music, the movie recently added another achievement by opening its pre-sale ticket bookings overseas, reaching the one million dollar mark. It became the fastest Indian film to reach this milestone at the North American box office, delighting Tarak's fans.
Tarak with Three Star Directors
Following 'Devara', Tarak has lined up a Bollywood film 'War 2' and 'NTR 31'. While Ayan Mukerji is set to direct the Hindi film, 'NTR 31' is helmed by Prashanth Neel.

Reportedly, this meet-up is part of the promotions for Devara, as Tarak is expected to appear in an interview with these directors.

Persistent Trolls
While the 'Daavudi' song from 'Devara' has garnered praise, it has not escaped criticism. Some netizens are heavily trolling the song, commenting that Anirudh’s composition was lackluster.

There are also personal attacks on NTR, with trolls commenting on his height compared to Janhvi Kapoor, suggesting that she had to bend down to match steps with him. Some are highlighting that Tarak wore shoes resembling high heels in the 'Daavudi' song, drawing mixed reactions of admiration and criticism.

Devara: A Gripping Tale with High Expectations, But Will Its Runtime Test Audiences?
The film 'Devara: Part 1,' starring Jr NTR, is garnering nationwide expectations. Directed by Koratala Siva, this film is set to hit the screens in exactly 23 days, greeting global audiences on September 27. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak, with Hindi cinema stalwarts Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol playing villainous roles, generating significant buzz for the film. Amidst this, recent news about the runtime of 'Devara' is circulating online, causing concern among Tarak's fans.
What is the runtime?
In the works under the combination of Tarak and Koratala, 'Devara' is currently in the midst of post-production. Reports suggest that the film's runtime has been finalized. The industry is abuzz that the Devara team has locked a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes. Fans are expressing concern, fearing that such a lengthy duration might be cumbersome. Most films exceeding 3 hours have struggled to engage audiences. However, it's too soon to declare this as Devara's final runtime since the movie still has to undergo censorship review. There's a possibility that the duration might reduce if the censor board decides to make cuts.
Will Koratala's magic work?
Regardless of the cuts made by the censor board, analysts believe that Devara’s runtime is unlikely to be less than 3 hours. The success of the film is expected to hinge on Koratala's screenplay. Considering his past directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Bharat Ane Nenu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Srimanthudu', Koratala's direction prowess is well recognized. He has successfully turned simple storylines into gripping dramas with engaging screenplays. If he repeats this magic in 'Devara', it could be a delight for the fans. The recently released 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also had a runtime of nearly 3 hours, yet managed to impress with its excellent action drama and the direction skills of Vivek Athreya, combined with the outstanding performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah.
Films Affected by Long Durations!
Recent releases like 'Bharateeyudu 2', 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', and 'Ante Sundaraniki' arrived with lengthy runtimes and received a lukewarm response. Despite 'Bharateeyudu 2' being set aside, the other two films had good content but failed to captivate the audience. In 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', although Ravi Teja delivered a commendable performance, the extended duration resulted in a dragging sensation among the audience. 'Ante Sundaraniki' faced similar criticism despite its unique concept of challenges faced by a couple from different faiths. The excessive length was perceived as making the movie feel like a serial.
New Poster Release
Today marks the release of the third song from the film Devara. Having already released the first single, 'Fire Song', and the second single, 'Chuttamalle', both songs are trending on YouTube. However, the makers have announced that a third single titled 'Daavudi' will be released this evening at 5:04 PM. In line with this, a special poster featuring Tarak and Janhvi Kapoor in a romantic pose has also been released, captivating the audience.

Is this the story of 'Devara'?
It is reported that the plot of 'Devara' is based on real-life incidents as penned by director Koratala Siva. According to the latest buzz, the film portrays a brutal massacre of Dalits, drawing from events that once shook united Andhra Pradesh. It is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits fell victim to upper caste violence in 1985. Reliable sources confirm that Koratala Siva has planned to showcase this real-life incident in 'Devara,' significantly heightening expectations for the film. Currently, there is no official clarification from the film unit regarding the ongoing speculation on social media.

Devara: Is it a Real-Life Tale That Could Stir Political Waters for TDP?
After the global success of "RRR," Jr. NTR's upcoming film "Devara: Part 1" directed by Koratala Siva is generating huge expectations. The film features Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine and veteran actor Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist, creating significant buzz. With shooting completed, the film is currently in the post-production stage. Jr. NTR playing a dual role has sparked curiosity among fans and cinema lovers about the storyline of "Devara." Recently, a sensational piece of news has been stirring up the internet related to "Devara's" storyline, which is reportedly based on a real incident that once shook unified Andhra Pradesh. What is this incident? What's the story of Devara? Let's find out.
Is This the Story of Devara?
It is believed that director Koratala Siva has based the story of "Devara" on some real-life events. According to the latest buzz, the movie reflects on a brutal massacre of Dalits that took place in the past. The film is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits were killed by upper castes in 1985 in Karamchedu village of Andhra Pradesh. Reliable sources suggest that Koratala Siva plans to showcase this real-life incident in "Devara," increasing the anticipation for the film. Currently, the movie team has not clarified the ongoing speculations on social media.
Will It Embroil TDP?
During the Karamchedu incident in 1985, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao was the Chief Minister of unified Andhra Pradesh. Although he introduced several new laws for Dalits after the incident, it remained a permanent stain on his government. Even years later, the scars of that bloodshed still haunt the TDP government, which is currently in power again in AP. If "Devara" brings this issue back into the spotlight, it could potentially put Chandrababu Naidu's leadership and TDP in a tough spot, especially considering the ongoing speculations of internal conflicts between the TDP and Balakrishna, Jr. NTR’s relationship. If the movie portrays the Karamchedu incident, it could further widen the rift.
A Social Message is Essential!
Koratala Siva is one of the directors in Telugu cinema known for incorporating a social message or touching on social issues in every film. From addressing factionalism in "Mirchi," adoption of villages in "Srimanthudu," supporting the underprivileged in "Janatha Garage," responsible politics in "Bharat Ane Nenu," to showcasing the Naxalite movement in "Acharya," his films consistently reflect deeper social concerns. It's quite possible that "Devara" will include scenes related to the tragic events of Karamchedu, as discussed within industry circles.
The Third Song is Coming!
The third song from "Devara" is set to be released on September 4th. The movie team has officially announced this through a poster. The duet titled "Davudi" promises to be a mesmerizing track, with every beat designed to make you whistle. The latest poster features Tarak in a black outfit and Janhvi captivating in white, as she romantically grabs him from behind. The dance steps by Jr. NTR in this song is expected to be spectacular.

Jr. NTR's Generous Heart
In response to ongoing flood relief efforts in the Telugu states, Jr. NTR has stepped forward to donate Rs. 50 lakhs each to the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This announcement was made via X platform shortly after which, young actor Vishwaksen also contributed Rs. 5 lakhs to each state, marking their solidarity during tough times. Netizens have been pouring praise on both heroes for their support during this crisis.

'NTR 31': Jr NTR's Explosive Dual Role Ignites Anticipation in Tollywood
Following the success of 'RRR', Jr NTR’s fame has reached global proportions, even earning him a substantial fan following in Bollywood. Currently, Tarak is featured in the movie 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva, which is swiftly moving through its shooting phase. After this film, Tarak has confirmed his participation in the 'NTR 31' project. Directed by Prashanth Neel, known for blockbuster hits like 'KGF' and 'Salaar', this upcoming movie has already stirred high expectations. Recently, an exciting update about NTR’s role in this movie emerged, causing quite a stir in the industry.
Tarak in a Dual Role?
The upcoming 'NTR 31' project, a collaboration between Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is creating a buzz in Tollywood. According to the latest buzz, Tarak will be playing dual roles in this film. One of these roles is reportedly as a 75-year-old man, a character unlike any he has played in his career. The other role is rumored to be that of a mafia don, sparking much excitement. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is likely to start shooting in September, with an official announcement expected soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with pre-production work.
As a Fierce Demon...
Reports have previously suggested that Tarak will portray characters with negative shades in 'NTR 31'. The latest buzz indicates that one of these characters will be a mafia don, where he will appear as a fierce demon. The character has been uniquely designed by director Prashanth Neel, who is taking great care in its portrayal. It is known that after completing this movie, Neel plans to start 'Salaar 2'.
The Dragon Title Fixed!
The title 'Dragon' is under consideration for NTR 31, and there is a high chance that it might be finalized. In European languages, "Dragon" symbolizes evil and also represents chaos and the ability to breathe fire. Given its powerful connotation, Prashanth Neel is considering this title, especially as Tarak is set to appear in a powerful negative role, making 'Dragon' a fitting match. An official announcement regarding the title decision is expected very soon.
With a Budget of Rs. 300 Crores...
The forthcoming NTR 31 film, featuring the combo of Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is set to be made with a massive budget. The production cost is expected to exceed Rs. 300 crores, with Tarak likely to receive a significant remuneration. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be starring opposite Tarak, and other cast members are to be finalized shortly.
When is 'Devara' Releasing?
The highly anticipated pan-India project 'Devara' is set to release grandly on September 27. This film marks another collaboration between Tarak and Koratala Siva following 'Janatha Garage', raising substantial expectations among the audience. Jhanvi Kapoor stars opposite NTR, marking her entry into Telugu cinema. Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan will appear as the villain. Initially scheduled for an October 10 release, the rapid progress of work has moved the release date forward to September 27, as confirmed by the film unit.
