Dhanush, known for his powerful performances in both South Indian cinema and Bollywood, has once again proven his mettle at the box office — and this time, in an unexpected avatar. The actor’s latest film Kuberaa, where he portrays the role of a beggar, has silently created a massive wave of success, despite intense competition from big-budget releases like Kannappa and Sitaare Zameen Par.

Clashing With Giants, Yet Holding Strong

Released on 20th June, Kuberaa didn’t just face a single contender at the box office — it locked horns with five different films on the same day. The most notable clash was with Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, which has been leading in overall earnings. But Dhanush’s gritty crime thriller is no less in pulling audiences to theatres.

Roaring Opening & Steady Climb

Kuberaa kicked off with an impressive ₹14.75 crore on its opening day. The momentum picked up quickly over the weekend, with Saturday and Sunday pushing the film to an opening weekend total of ₹48 crore. The buzz didn’t fade as weekdays passed — in fact, the film continued to hold its ground.

₹107.5 Crore in Just 7 Days

According to early trade figures by Sacknilk, Kuberaa has amassed a massive ₹107.5 crore worldwide within a week. Of this, ₹26.5 crore comes from international markets, proving Dhanush’s growing global appeal.

Indian Box Office Numbers Shine

On the domestic front, the film has collected ₹71.5 crore net so far. On its second Friday, Kuberaa earned ₹2.5 crore — a slight dip from ₹3.35 crore on the day before. With the weekend approaching, all eyes are on whether the film will rebound or slow down due to new releases like Kannappa and Maa.

One thing is clear — while others create storms, Dhanush brings tsunamis silently. Kuberaa’s success proves once again that content and performance can win big, even in crowded markets.
