Kuberaa Box Office Day 5: Nagarjuna, Dhanush's Film Crosses The Rs 60 Crore-Mark
Sekhar Kammula directorial Kuberaa was released in the theatres on June 20 with a grand opening collection.
Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna's film opened at the box office with a bang. Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the movie performed well on its first 4 days at the box office. But on Day 5, it saw a drastic dip in the collection with almost the lowest earnings so far. After collecting an estimated amount of Rs 55.4 crore in the first 4 days, the crime thriller could mint only Rs 5.5 crore in the domestic market on its first Tuesday, reported Sacnilk.
Despite having a 19.12 per cent dip in the collection since its first Monday, the multi-starrer has been eyeing significant milestones. After the 5th day of collection, it has already crossed the Rs 60 crore mark. Coming to its cast, the film stars Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh in the lead, while Sunaina, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Dalip Tahil, Col Ravi Sharma, K Bhagyaraj and others are in key roles.
Produced by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas and Amigos Creations, Kuberaa had an overall 28.37 per cent Telugu Occupancy on June 24. Following this, the movie witnessed an overall 15.74 per cent Tamil Occupancy and 13.09 per cent Hindi Occupancy on its first Tuesday, as per the same report.
The bilingual action-drama revolves around the story of a beggar named Deva (played by Dhanush) whose life drastically changes after an encounter with Deepak (played by Nagarjuna), a former CBI officer, Neeraj (played by Jim Sarbh), a corrupt CEO, and Sameera (played by Rashmika Mandanna), a woman stranded in Mumbai after being jilted by her boyfriend.
Ever since the release of the movie, the stars have been garnering immense praise from their fans and friends in the industry. Even the co-stars aren't able to stop lauding each others' performances.
For instance, Rashmika penned a long note heaping praise on Dhanush's performance in the movie while sharing a photo with him on Instagram. An excerpt from her note read, 'You've been an absolute gem of a person.. Thank You so much for working so incredibly hard each and every day (only know this cz every time we talk we are in different cities, doing different things and talking about how important rest is but how we are never actually able to do anything about it) and for giving us this kind of performance not only in Kuberaa, but in everything that you do.. it's nothing short of incredible…"

Not only this, at one of the promotional events for the films, Nagarjuna revealed how Rashmika's stint in the film brought back memories of Sridevi's iconic role in Kshana Kshanam. Nagarjuna starred opposite the late legendary actress in the 1991 movie.
The veteran actor said, 'Watching Rashmika on screen made me think of Sridevi Garu from Kshana Kshanam. Really, so many frames and so well," adding, 'I mean it's no wonder that Pushpa has earned her the nickname National Crush. Because of this movie, she is in fact, now Nag's crush also. I loved you. You look amazing in the movie. We all love you."

Naga Vamsi hits back at those trolling him over Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan's War 2, busts rumours of him leaving films
Producer Naga Vamsi's Sithara Entertainments took over the distribution rights of Ayan Mukerji's Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer War 2 in Telugu. Given that it was Jr NTR's debut film in Bollywood, the producer hyped up the film before its release, only for it to disappoint fans. On Wednesday, Vamsi hit back at trolls making up theories about his absence on social media. Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan headline Ayan Mukerji's Hindi film War 2. Naga Vamsi hits back at trolls, busts rumours Ever since War 2 received lukewarm reviews, Vamsi has been trolled on social media for hyping the film before its release. Some people speculated that he would leave the film industry and had switched off his phone, while others predicted that he was feeling down about investing in the film. Hitting out at these trolls, Vamsi wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'Enti nannu chala miss avthunattu unnaru…Vamsi adi, Vamsi idi ani gripping narratives tho full hadavidi nadustundi…Parledu, X lo manchi writers unnaru. (It looks like everyone is missing me a lot. Not bad, there are some good writers on X creating gripping narratives about me).' He added that it's not time for him to leave the film industry yet, writing, 'Sorry to disappoint you all, but inka aa time raaledu… minimum inko 10-15 years undi (Sorry to disappoint you all, but it's not time yet…there's 10-15 years more left for that). At the cinemas… for the cinema, always! See you all with our next outing #MassJathara, Very Soon!' War 2 and Kingdom Vamsi invested heavily in War 2, hoping the novelty of seeing Hrithik and Jr NTR together would benefit the film. However, in its six-day run, the film made only ₹50.3 crore net in India for its Telugu version, while the Hindi version made ₹141.75 crore, according to Sacnilk. The film has collected ₹193.5 crore net in India and has yet to touch the ₹200 crore mark. This setback with War 2 comes after Gowtam Tinnanuri's Vijay Deverakonda and Satyadev-starrer Kingdom released to a positive response on 31 July but had a dry run at the box office. It collected only ₹82.01 crore worldwide.

Mumbai monsoon mayhem: Waterlogging disrupts Bollywood stars' residences
mumbai extreme rain: Mumbai is reeling under relentless monsoon showers, with heavy rainfall lashing the city for the third consecutive day. On Wednesday morning, residents again woke up to waterlogged streets, traffic snarls, and uprooted trees, as the downpour once again brought life to a crawl. The waters have even reached the doorsteps of Bollywood stars — from Amitabh Bachchan to Kajol — whose homes and routines have been disrupted by water leakage and severe rain warnings. Mumbai Extreme rains are affecting Bollywood houses Sagar Thakur, a vlogger, has been providing regular reports on how the intense Mumbai rains are affecting celebrity residences as well. He recently posted a video showing the water up to the calves at Prateeksha, the second residence of famous superstar Amitabh Bachchan in Juhu, Mumbai. When Sagar went through the main gate to inquire about the condition inside, the watchman asked him to leave. Bachchan himself, he claimed, came to get the water out of the premises. He said that nobody was immune to the damage caused by the Mumbai rains, regardless of how wealthy they were, even the Bachchans or Ambanis. Sagar continued by showcasing the homes of the Deol family, Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji, and Ajay Devgn and Kajol. Following two days of relentless rain, every street surrounding these celebrities' residences was flooded. This led individuals in neighbouring places to offer prayers for Mumbai residents who are struggling following this intense downpour. Many even asked the vlogger to display the homes of poor people instead of Bollywood celebrities. Celebs reacted to the Mumbai rains 2025 Malaika Arora posted a picture of the rain-soaked landscape outside her house on Instagram Stories. She also included a touching message in her post, urging Mumbaikars to 'Stay safe n stay indoors." From his balcony, actor Vijay Varma also offered fans a glimpse of the soaked city. He captioned his photo, which featured Mumbai covered in sheets of rain, "The weather," and included a hot-face emoji. However, Twinkle Khanna chose to read a passage from her own book instead. A video of her reading from Welcome to Paradise was shared. She said, 'On a rainy day, here's a little extract from Welcome to Paradise. I often find myself wishing I could go back and rewrite parts of my earlier books, but never with this one. It captured everything I wanted to say with a lightness of tone that I worked hard to achieve." A bit more artsy, filmmaker Zoya Akhta r posted a black-and-white video of rain hitting her window. Trees beyond the glass were waving greatly in the wind. Meanwhile, actress Hina Khan shared her thoughts on Instagram, writing, 'No matter what. This city just doesn't stop.. Maximum City never takes a break not even when it's covered in water, cloud and mist. The spirit of Mumbai lives through its indomitable people who need to make a living in this expensive city. Work, livelihood, hospital visits, shoots and what don't have the luxury of sitting home and enjoy Chai and Pakodas. They do not waiver. That's Amchi Mumbai Local for you."
