According to Sacnilk.com, the film earned ₹77 crore [Telugu: ₹68.6 crore; Hindi: ₹7 crore; Kannada: ₹30 lakh; Tamil: ₹80 lakh; Malayalam: ₹30 lakh]. Devara Part 1 had an overall 79.56% Telugu occupancy on Friday.

“Jr NTR’s performance and Koratala’s writing falls short when it comes to Vara, especially when compared to Devara. The actor makes it work even if the director doesn’t fully put his mind into filling loopholes with the titular character. Particularly in the song Ayudha Pooja and a penultimate scene at a wedding. But he falls short when playing the son because his wide-eyed act feels unconvincing. Saif is decent as Bhaira, with his brooding face and body language doing most of the work. But his character, too, needs gravitas to be considered a formidable foe to Devara. Unfortunately, Janhvi’s big debut in Telugu is more a whimper than a bang.”
