The stage is being prepared for the commencement of Hindi advance bookings for Devara. This really is going to be a big deal for the NTR starrer to open well in Hindi.
There are Bollywood media personnel who are commenting that Devara might open to a double-digit number in the Bolly belt. Their projection is that the film could open in the range of Rs 8-11 crore in the Hindi belt.
While a double-digit start is extraordinarily good, considering the current bleak Hindi market, the actual possibility of the same is questionable.
Even Bollywood mainstream stars like Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar have been struggling to pull good numbers. Akshay in particular is posting Rs 3-4 crore openings.
With this in mind, whether or not NTR will be able to post a double-digit opening in Hindi is going to make for an interesting watch.
There is indeed the presence of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan but their actual contribution box office wise is subject to change. NTR, thanks to RRR will remain to be the main face of the film even in Hindi with Janhvi and Saif acting as support systems.
If NTR really can pull a double digit start, then it would mean that he has gained a substantial market post-RRR. But this might be a bit too optimistic. We have to wait for 3 more days to estimate what will be the actual degree of Devara openings in the Hindi belt.
