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.

It is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits fell victim to upper caste violence in 1985.

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.
