Tollywood’s young tiger Jr NTR's highly anticipated film, Devara, finally hit theaters worldwide on august 27th, igniting a frenzy of excitement among fans everywhere. Directed by koratala siva, the action packed film has been a hot topic since its announcement, generating immense buzz and anticipation. To cater to the overwhelming enthusiasm, the governments of andhra pradesh and telangana granted special permissions for early morning shows, benefit screenings, extra screenings, and even authorized a hike in ticket prices.
Perhaps Devara had already shattered pre-booking records globally, driven by the star power of Jr ntr, who has been absent from the big screen for six years since his acclaimed performance as komaram bheem in the blockbuster film RRR. The film's ensemble cast, including bollywood stars janhvi kapoor and Saif ali Khan, further heightened the anticipation and excitement among fans. Fans flocked to theaters in droves, particularly at Hyderabad's iconic sudarshan Theatre at rtc X Roads, eager to witness NTR's return to the silver screen. The atmosphere was electric, with the crowd celebrating NTR's comeback with fervor and enthusiasm. However, the excitement soon turned into chaos.
By just before the screening, a wave of negative reviews surfaced online, spreading rapidly and causing a stir among fans. Disappointed and angered by the criticism, some fans at sudarshan Theatre became agitated and frustrated. In their disappointment, they began lighting firecrackers and set ablaze the massive cutout of ntr they had erected to celebrate the film's release.
Moreover the situation escalated as tempers flared, highlighting the intense emotions surrounding the release of Devara and the deep connection fans share with their beloved star. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the passionate and sometimes volatile nature of fan culture, where emotions can run high and reactions can be extreme. In the meantime all eyes are on how much Devara will collect at the box office as reports are out that ntr came up with a thundering performance in dual roles.
