🎥 Kuberaa – Day 1 Box Office Report

Release Date: June 20, 2025

Starring: Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Rashmika Mandanna
Director: Sekhar Kammula
Genre: Pan‑Indian Crime Drama


📊 Performance Snapshot


🌏 Global & Overseas

  • Overseas opening: Strong pre-sales in the US with ₹1 crore (≈ $115,800) advance bookings from 350+ locations—a 220% jump over early figures (timelinedaily.com).

  • Worldwide impact: Some initial reports suggested ₹27.5 crore global opening, including ₹10.15 crore overseas (filmibeat.com). However, more conservative ~₹13 crore domestic figures are widely accepted.


🧩 Context & Insights

  • Despite lukewarm presales (pre-bookings as low as 3.9 crore in India), the film overcame expectations with solid first-day turnout (indianexpress.com, republicworld.com).

  • Reviews have applauded Dhanush and Nagarjuna’s performances and Sekhar Kammula’s screenplay (en.wikipedia.org).

  • While Day 1 is respectable, it falls short of blockbuster status—slightly below Raayan’s opener and below high expectations (outlookindia.com).


📈 Weekend Outlook

  • Word-of-mouth buzz is positive, setting up potential mid-day weekend gains.

  • Strong US advance sales might lead to a notable overseas weekend haul.

  • If momentum builds, the film could cross ₹100 crore worldwide, aided by Prime Video's impending OTT release .


📝 Verdict

  • Day 1 tally: A solid ₹13 crore, anchored by Telugu markets and evening show strength.

  • Comparative take: Just behind Raayan, but ahead of many peers in 2025’s release calendar.

  • Upside factors: Strong cast, positive critical response, and overseas advance sales.

  • Risks ahead: Need steady weekend performance to offset early comparisons and meet break-even targets for this ₹120 crore project.


🔮 Stay Tuned

The weekend box office trajectory—especially in non-Telugu regions—and the film’s overseas narrative will determine whether Kuberaa evolves from a dignified debut to a blockbuster entertainer.
