South superstar Dhanush has struck gold again. His latest crime thriller Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, opened to a record response across India, collecting a stupendous ₹13 crore on its first day—beyond the expectations of Aamir Khan's much-awaited Sitaare Zameen Par, which collected ₹11.7 crore on Day 12.
 
Kuberaa's Resounding Entry
  • Kuberaa is the Telugu debut of Dhanush and boasts a super star cast of Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh.
  • The film clocked 57.36% occupancy in Telugu zones, with night and evening shows witnessing a rush of audiences.
  • Despite competition from Sitaare Zameen Par and Hollywood's 28 Years Later, Kuberaa held ground with good word-of-mouth and emotional performances.
Audience Reactions & Overseas Buzz
  • Dhanush's role as a money specter-turned-beggar has won massive praise for its emotionality and curve of transformation.
  • The film earned $900K in North America on Day 1, which is a sign of strong overseas traction.
  • Dhanush, who arrived accompanied by his son Linga, saw the first-day-first-show at Chennai, where fans went berserk in celebration.
Sitaare Zameen Par's Slower Start
  • Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par received good buzz but trailed behind expectations in opening day collections
  • The film is bound to pick up over the weekend due to unprecedented critical acclaim and family rating.
With Kuberaa as the 5th biggest Tollywood opener of 2025, Dhanush has once again established his pan-India relevance, setting stage for a blockbusting weekend to come.
