Although there are good openings in other places, Devara is facing woeful shows in Tamil Nadu box office, particularly at Chennai and major cities. The collections on the second day and week-long advance bookings are painting a picture very grim for the film in the state, and many predict it to be a massive disaster at the box office.
Devara’s Box Office Performance in Tamil Nadu
While it has been impressive in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and overseas markets, Devara is still not registering a good response in Tamil Nadu, including Chennai. Latest reports suggest that the film struggles with bookings, mostly in Chennai while having faced a huge drop in day two collections and advance bookings for the coming week.
Key Factors Behind Devara’s Poor Performance in Tamil Nadu
- Stiff Competition: One of the main reasons for the setback of Devara at the Tamil Nadu box office is stiff competition from other regional Tamil releases as well as bigger films. Regional blockbusters have been overtaking all the box offices, which has made it difficult for Devara to gain grounds in this market.
- Limited Fan Base for Jr NTR in Tamil Nadu: Unlike the case in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Jr NTR has a huge fan base, Tamil Nadu has a smaller fan base for this actor. This small-sized fan base is one of the primary reasons that directly affected Devara’s performance in that region.
- Mixed Reviews in Tamil Nadu: Devara has mixed talk among the Tamil Nadu audience as a couple of critics commented that the film lacks the emotional scope and local connection essential for viewership among locals. This has hurt its box office collections in key cities such as Chennai.
Devara’s Day 2 Collections in Chennai and Advance Bookings
Day two collections in Tamil Nadu are plummeting for Devara. Advance bookings of this film also point to a slump. It is sufficient to question its pan-India success when such a box office disaster is looming in Tamil Nadu when the film is doing well elsewhere.It was because the Tamil Nadu market alone is crucial for any film to achieve pan-Indian box office success. It is important that Devara is facing such an issue there.
Outlook for Devara in Tamil Nadu
If trends are anything to go by, Devara is unlikely to get its money back in Tamil Nadu. Furthermore, it will hardly add much to the overall collection at the box office if the movie is a hit elsewhere, given its poor performance in Chennai and other metropolitan cities. The Tamil Nadu disaster at the box office might then wreak havoc with Devara’s pan-India aspirations.
Conclusion
Devara has had it tough in Tamil Nadu, as the day two collections and advance bookings suggest disaster at the box office. One reason this may have an impact on the overall Tamil Nadu box office performance is because the film hasn’t been getting good attention within Tamil Nadu, including Chennai.
