Kuberaa Turns Out to Be a Surprise Hit: Dhanush’s action crime thriller Kuberaa has quietly created waves at the box office. Without any major promotions, the film has managed to pull crowds purely on the strength of its content. Dhanush, seen playing the role of a beggar, once again proves that strong storytelling can draw audiences, even without heavy marketing.
Clashed with Five Films on Release Day
Kuberaa hit theatres on 20th June, and interestingly, it faced competition from not just one, but five other films. Among them, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par was the biggest name. While Aamir’s film had the edge in terms of buzz, Kuberaa managed to carve a niche for itself with a solid opening.
Impressive Start Right from Day One
The film surprised everyone with an opening day collection of ₹14.75 crore. Over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), the film saw a sharp rise in earnings, crossing ₹48 crore within the first three days itself.
Worldwide Collection Crosses ₹100 Crore
In just seven days, Kuberaa raked in ₹107.5 crore worldwide. Out of this, ₹26.5 crore came from overseas markets, highlighting Dhanush’s strong fanbase beyond India. The film has now officially entered the coveted ₹100 crore club.
India Box Office: Strong Domestic Run
Domestically, Kuberaa has collected ₹71.5 crore net so far. On its second Friday, it earned ₹2.5 crore, slightly down from the ₹3.35 crore it made the previous day.
What’s Next: Clash with ‘Kannappa’ and ‘Maa’
It remains to be seen whether Kuberaa can maintain its momentum over the coming weekend or if new releases like Kannappa and Maa slow down its run. For now, the film’s numbers achieved without any major hype are truly commendable.
