'Kuberaa' box office collection day 1: Dhanush's film likely to get average opening
The highly anticipated film 'Kuberaa,' starring
Dhanush
,
Nagarjuna Akkineni
, and Rashmika Mandanna, is set to hit the theatres on June 20th, and the film is just hours away from reaching fans across the globe. Directed by
Sekhar Kammula
, the film, despite having a huge star cast and a grandly crafted story, did not create much buzz among the fans as the promotions did not go well.
If the film has quality content, there is hope that it will get a good box office run after release.
'Kuberaa' day 1 expectations
As per Sacnilk, 'Kuberaa' earned Rs 3.9 crore in pre-sales for day 1, and the final net collection of the film in India on day 1 is likely to be around ₹7 to ₹9. But this collection will be lower than the Day 1 collection of Dhanush's previous release 'Raayan' (₹13.7 crore). If the early reviews hype the audience, it is possible for 'Kuberaa' to secure more than ₹10 crore on the opening day.
'Kuberaa' looks weak on pre-release buzz
'Kuberaa,' which is being shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu, was a film that was expected by fans as it marked Dhanush's return to the theaters after the success of 'Raayan.' However, there is less hype about the film in Tamil Nadu. Surprisingly, the film has received a small amount of positive reviews in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana due to Nagarjuna's contribution. While the film's trailer has recently caught the attention of some, it hasn't made much of an impact on others.
Preview booths in Tamil Nadu have been slowly filling up. As it may be a content-driven film, the film is not currently in a position to get a big opening on the first day. Only in the Telugu regions is there a small improvement.
Will Dhanush continue his success with 'Kuberaa'?
The Dhanush-Nagarjuna alliance and Sekhar Kammula's emotional storytelling have the potential to make the film a success. However, the long run of its success will depend on the weekend collections. Whether 'Kuberaa' will continue Dhanush's previous successes will be directly determined by the reviews from the fans on the opening day.

Thug Life: Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR faced loss of Rs 30 crore after Karnataka theater ban? Producers weigh in
Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR in the lead roles, hit the big screens on June 5, 2025. Ahead of its release, the Mani Ratnam directorial faced a ban in Karnataka over the veteran actor's comments against Kannada. Now, in a recent report, it seems that the film faced a loss of Rs 30 crore after failing to release in the Kannada-speaking region. In an update shared by the production house, Raaj Kamal Films International confirmed the same. For those unaware, Kamal Haasan made the headlines after he commented against the Kannada language. In a pre-release event, the actor remarked how Kannada was born out of Tamil, which led to a huge uproar among people. As the pro-Kannada activists protested against Haasan and asked him to apologize, the actor declined. This further led the Karnataka Film Board to impose a ban on the movie, limiting its release. However, the Supreme Court of India has criticised the Karnataka government and the Karnataka Film Chamber for their handling of the controversy. The apex court has allowed the film's release in Karnataka, questioning the state government and the Kannada Film Body. On a side note, the Supreme Court further raised concerns on the trend of threatening violence when sentiments are hurt. Coming to Thug Life, the Kamal Haasan and STR starrer is a gangster action drama, directed by Mani Ratnam, which is co-penned by Haasan. The film narrates the tale of a gangster, Rangaraaya Sakthivel, who once adopted a young boy, Amaran, after a shootout in Delhi. Years later, the foster father and son develop a strong bond, with Amaran being a formidable member of the mafia. However, a stark turn of events leads to an animosity between them, which causes them to lock horns. How the father and son end their feud and whether they would finally reunite forms the crux of the film. Apart from the lead actors, the film features Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Abhirami, and more in key roles. The gangster actioner was received with mixed-to-negative reviews from critics but is considered to be one of the highest-grossing films in Tamil cinema for 2025.

Sitaare Zameen Par Advance Booking: Aamir Khan starrer sells 46,000 tickets in National Chains, looks at Rs 8 crore opening
Aamir Khan's much-awaited movie Sitaare Zameen Par is finally hitting cinemas in a couple of hours. The sports comedy drama, directed by RS Prasanna, recorded an average advance booking despite Khan's aggressive promotions. Sitaare Zameen Par sells 46,000 tickets in top national chains Bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par sold over 46,000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the opening day. Of this, a significant chunk of admissions were recorded at PVR Inox, while the remaining were sold at Cinepolis. It must be noted that these are estimated figures. As Sitaare Zameen Par is an Aamir Khan movie, the advance booking doesn't justify his stardom. However, one must note that the slice-of-life sports comedy genre is not much viable in the post-pandemic times, which means the fate of Sitaare Zameen Par will depend on its word-of-mouth. Sitaare Zameen Par targets Rs 8 crore opening Looking at the advance sales and buzz around the movie, the Aamir Khan starrer is expected to open with just Rs 8 crore net. It will be one of the lowest Aamir Khan openers in recent times. Though the film is marketed as a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par, it couldn't strike a chord with the audience with its promotional assets. Nevertheless, if the movie succeeds in impressing the audience, Sitaare Zameen Par will see an instant boost in its collections. Though the movie might start on a low note, it has the potential to jump over the weekend and sail through a successful theatrical run. It will be interesting to see how the sports drama performs at the box office. The movie marks the return of Aamir Khan to the screens after Laal Singh Chaddha, which was a box office debacle. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
