Jr NTR is back on the screen for the first time since the super success of SS Rajamouli’s RRR. His latest film Devara: Part 1 has been receiving tremendous response not only in India but also in North America which has become the biggest market for Telugu films outside of India. The change has happened because Telugu has become the 11th most spoken language in the United States of America.

It would be interesting to see if Devara is able to maintain its ranking its the list over the week. Going by the numbers, it looks difficult as Telugu version has begun to show a drop while it is the Hindi version which is keeping the film afloat.
