Devadoothan re-release box office collection Day 1

According to recent updates from trade experts, Devadoothan, which hit the theatres again on Friday, July 26, has made a grand opening at the box office. On its re-release day, The Mohanlal starrer earned over Rs. 30 lakh from the Kerala box office alone. The Sibi Malayil film has collected over Rs. 20 lakh from the rest of India and overseas box office, with a very limited release. The total Day 1 collection of Devadoothan’s re-released version has now crossed the Rs. 50 lakh mark

Even though it is not a massive box office figure in today’s film trends, it is indeed a massive amount for a re-released film like Devadoothan. The movie, which originally hit the theatres in 2000, has clearly not lost its charm even a bit. If things proceed at the same rate, Mohanlal and Sibi Malayil’s re-released film will cross the Rs. 1 crore mark on its Day 2 at the theatres, and will mostly touch the Rs. 2 crore mark by the end of its first weekend at the theatres.

Devadoothan 4K gets extra shows

The recent updates suggest that the Mohanlal starrer has got over 20 extra shows across Kerala alone, on its Day 2 of re-release. Notably, Devadoothan was initially re-released in less than 100 screens, that too only in the prominent releasing centers across the world. However, while considering the increasing audience rush, the re-released mystery musical drama, which is famous for the exception music score composed by Vidyasagar, might end up as a box office hit after 24 years of its original release.
