Audience reception
'Devara Part 1' finds acceptance despite mixed reviews
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Devara Part 1 has found acceptance among audiences, particularly in mass centers. The film is expected to maintain a steady trend throughout the week and see a spike in its second weekend due to no major box office releases. The movie also marks the Telugu debuts of Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor.
Upcoming challenges
'Devara Part 1' to face competition from Hindi films
Looking ahead, Devara Part 1 will have an entire week to itself before it faces competition from two Hindi films at the box office. These include Alia Bhatt's jailbreak action film Jigra and the Rajkummar Rao-Triptii Dimri starrer Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. Despite this upcoming challenge, the film's strong performance so far suggests that it may continue to hold its own in the competitive market.
