Released on 20 June, Dhanush’s Kubera featuring Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna went from strength to strength on its second day. Industry monitor Sacnilk puts the film’s Saturday earnings at around ₹16 crore, taking its two-day domestic total to almost ₹30.8 crore.
Conversely, trade estimates place the net collection for Day 2 at approximately ₹14.9 crore, bringing the total to a collective ₹29.7 crore—well ahead of Suriya’s Retro, which collected an estimated ₹27 crore over the first weekend.
Strong Occupancy Drives Second-Day Growth
Early morning shows on Saturday saw good occupancy for the Telugu and Tamil versions, especially in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Bengaluru. Overall occupancy for Telugu versions remained around 60%, while Tamil shows averaged 30–40%.
Pan‑India Appeal and Overseas Surge
Although most of the collections were from India, the movie also had promise overseas. In North America, Kuberaa made over US $900,000 on its opening day and is headed towards crossing the US $1 million threshold—highlighting its growing global attraction .
Mixed Critical Reviews, Strong Word-of-Mouth
Critics appreciated Dhanush’s performance as a ragpicker and the layered storytelling of the film, even if it was too long. The broadening weekend audience indicates that Kuberaa is surfing on word-of-mouth rather than opening day popularity .
Bigger Picture for Telugu Cinema
Following a respectable Day 1, Kubera has cut down its commercial bite with this second-day jump. Its ₹29–30 crore opening over two days places it among Telugu cinema’s strongest performers of the year—already running ahead of comparably budgeted films like Retro in early week comparisons.
Bottom Line
With Day 2 collections surpassing Day 1 and overtaking Retro, Kuberaa shows strong signs of sustaining its box office journey. If Saturday’s momentum carries forward, the crime saga may well emerge as both a critical and commercial success for its star cast and makers.
