Kuberaa Box Office Day 1 Prediction: Dhanush-Nagarjuna film likely to collect Rs 9–10 crore

Compared to Dhanush’s earlier film Raayan which opened with Rs 13.7 crores, Kuberaa may have a modest start.

Telugu film Kuberaa directed by Sekhar Kammula and starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna has hit theatres on June 20, 2025. The movie had low pre release buzz due to minimal promotions. However trailer created some excitement just before the release.

Early trade reports suggest that Kuberaa could earn around Rs 7 to Rs 9 crores on its opening day depending on audience response. However as the film is getting positive talk from the first show, the movie is expected to get more collections and it can even cross the Rs 10 crore mark.. Meanwhile advance bookings have already brought in around Rs 4 crores.

Also in Telugu-speaking states response seems slightly better compared to Tamil Nadu where the buzz is average. This is surprising considering Dhanush is a major star in Tamil cinema. Analysts believe that lack of marketing has hurt its pre-release momentum especially in Tamil regions.

The film is said to be content-driven with fewer commercial elements. Sekhar Kammula’s style of emotional storytelling and performances by the lead actors could draw more audience. This pattern has worked for many content-rich films in the past that grew slowly through strong audience feedback.

Compared to Dhanush’s earlier film Raayan which opened with Rs 13.7 crores, Kuberaa may have a modest start. Still team is hopeful that good reviews and strong content can boost collections over the weekend.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted a U/A rating to Kuberaa, but only after recommending a total of 19 cuts. These edits amount to nearly 13 minutes and 41 seconds being trimmed from the film’s original version, indicating a significant round of changes before clearing it for release.

Dhanush makes his Telugu film debut in the eagerly awaited film Kuberaa. In important roles, the film also features the versatile Jim Sarbh, well-known actress Rashmika Mandanna, and seasoned actor Nagarjuna. Kuberaa, which is supported by producers Suniel Narang and Puskur Rammohan Rao under the Amigos Creations banner, combines an amazing cast with an intriguing concept, raising anticipations among both fans and industry observers.
