Darshan’s The Devil: Will Jail Controversy Turn the Film Into a Blockbuster Again?

Darshan-starrer The Devil is set for release on December 11, creating major buzz in the Kannada film industry. This becomes the second instance in Sandalwood where a Darshan film is releasing while the actor remains in judicial custody. The first occurred in 2011 during the release of Sarathi, which went on to achieve record-breaking success.

The Devil is releasing amid a high-profile murder case investigation. High Court granted bail earlier, but the Supreme Court cancelled the bail, leading to continued judicial custody. Production was halted midway but completed after bail, including dubbing and final patchwork.

Industry expectations indicate strong audience curiosity surrounding the film. Early metrics show massive interest, with nearly one lakh users marking interest on BookMyShow. The film will release nationwide in Kannada and in dubbed versions—Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam. First shows begin at 6:30 AM.

Comparisons are being drawn with Sarathi, which benefited from public sympathy during its release phase. Whether The Devil will repeat similar success or face setbacks due to the ongoing case remains a key discussion in the industry. Pre-release indicators suggest strong openings in Mysuru and Bengaluru regions.

This segment analyses historical parallels, audience psychology, industry expectations, box-office prospects, and the unique situation of a major star’s film releasing during judicial custody.
