'The Devil' box office collections day 1: Darshan Thoogudeepa's film opens strong; Bags Rs 10 Cr
Darshan’s action-packed drama 'The Devil' has kicked off its box office journey with an impressive opening, collecting Rs 10 crore India net on Day 1.
The film registered a strong 63.75% occupancy across Karnataka. According to the Sacnilk website, morning shows stood at 60.44%, afternoon at 51.74%, evening at 63.47%, and night shows peaking at 79.34%.
Mixed audience reactions but Darshan’s performance stands out
While The Devil has opened big, the audience reactions are quite mixed. One viewer called the first half a “routine political drama” and felt the film lacked proper emotional connectivity. They also pointed out hurried editing and costume issues, noting that “Krishna did not have a suitable wig” and that some comedy portions felt forced. However, they praised the stylish elevation of the antagonist avatar, saying the interval block was “well done” and that the ‘Devil’ shade was presented with flair.
Another viewer felt the second half lagged, writing, “2nd Half is dragged… 20min less run time would have been better.” Yet, they maintained that Darshan’s performance carried the film, calling it a “Feast for Darshan sir Fans.”
One Twitter reaction summed up the buzz perfectly: “Boss entry d acting antu next level. In Devil Shade he nailed it. As Krishna Vintage Darshan is back.”
With no major upcoming releases in Kannada and decent reviews for the movie, 'The Devil' is expected to collect more numbers in the coming days at the box office. The movie also features the actors Rachana Rai , Mahesh Manjrekar , Achyuth Kumar, Sharmiela Mandre and many others in pivotal roles.
