Telugu superstar Jr NTR's film Devara: Part 1 is all set to release on OTT, and his fans are considerablely excited. The blockbuster is nearing the end of its theatrical run.
The movie, directed by Koratala Siva, stars Junior NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor.
The movie will be available on OTT in multiple regional languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.
Media reports said that Jr NTR’s Devara: Part 1 will stream online on November 8 on the famous OTT platform Netflix, as its digital rights are with this platform.
Though the movie's makers have yet to officially announce its release on OTT, the audience will soon be able to enjoy the movie on their TV sets and mobile phones.
The movie follows the journey of a village chief's son, played by Jr NTR, who secretly upholds his late father's mission against smuggling while pretending to be weak and preserving the facade that his father is still alive.
However, critics have called the movie half-hearted in every way.
“Devara: Part 1 is the simplest of stories: two compatriots fall out, son takes up father’s mantle. Siva has little interest in exploring the setting or his character's motivations. The film is 178 minutes long, not because it has the ideas to fill this time. It’s long simply because films of this kind are expected to be long,” wrote film critic Uday Bhatia.
The film, released in theatres on September 27, reportedly achieved impressive box office earnings. It earned ₹280.80 crore in the domestic box office collections and ₹509 crore worldwide. It has an IMBD rating of 6.4/10.
Devara: Part 1 has managed a strong performance at the box office in its first week, with a total collection of ₹209.87 crore across all languages in India.
