Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa has set the box office on fire with a terrific 1st weekend. The film has collected a double-digit gross in Telugu States for all three days of the opening weekend, a sensational feat. The trade is awed by its performance, with the film grossing around 80 Cr worldwide. In the USA alone, the weekend collection is around 1.6M, and overseas gross exceeds 2.5M.
The film has done well in Karnataka, and in Tamil Nadu, it had a decent week with Sunday being the best day. However, Kerala's numbers are disappointing, and the Hindi version did not add any significant collections. Despite this, the film's overall performance is impressive, with the Telugu version almost recovering its theatrical rights. The film's success can be attributed to the performances of Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika, who received praise for their roles.
To achieve breakeven, Kuberaa needs a strong weekday hold in Tamil Nadu, while a decent hold in Telugu territories will be sufficient. The film's storyline, which revolves around a beggar who gets entangled in a bigger conspiracy, has captivated audiences. Music composer Devi Sri Prasad's hope for Dhanush to get a National Award for his role in the film is a testament to the film's quality.
With its strong opening weekend, Kuberaa is poised for a successful run at the box office. The film's performance in key markets will be crucial in determining its overall success. If the film maintains its momentum, it could potentially become a hit. The success meet held in Hyderabad on Sunday evening is a testament to the film's positive reception, and fans are eagerly awaiting its future prospects.
