NTR and Janhvi Kapoor’s Devara: Part 1, directed by Koratala Siva, turned out to be a 400-crore grosser at the box office. The Hindi version also performed reasonably well, establishing NTR’s market in the northern belts without relying on the Rajamouli factor.
Devara’s Hindi version has finally started streaming on Netflix.
This update comes as a treat for North Indian audiences who missed watching it in theaters and had been eagerly anticipating its OTT release.
The film is now available for streaming on Netflix in various international languages, including English, Korean, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, along with South Indian languages like Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Despite its box office success, the film has been facing severe backlash from OTT audiences for its South Indian versions.
Koratala Siva was under fire for weak characterizations and illogical scenes. Social media was flooded with memes and trolls mocking the director.
However, the Hindi audience has been appreciating the Hindi version much more. They find NTR’s performance commendable, the unique sea-based backdrop exciting, and some action sequences thrilling.
Although some have pointed out issues with the second half, the overall response to Devara in Hindi on OTT has been far better than the response it received for its Telugu version.
It remains to be seen what numbers Devara garners on Netflix following the release of its Hindi version.
