Kuberaa Box Office Collections: Dhanush starrer richer with 79cr weekend worldwide
Kuberaa delivered a strong opening weekend, grossing Rs. 79 crore worldwide, of which Rs. 53 crore came from the domestic market and Rs. 26 crore (USD 3 million) from overseas. The Telugu version led the way, both in terms of collections and trend, while the Tamil version underperformed on both counts. There were also Hindi and Kannada dubbed versions; they were expectedly washouts, as these are token releases put out more for formality than any real impact.
More noteworthy than the gross figures, however, is the trend. The film showed day-on-day growth over the weekend, a rarity for South Indian films, even more so for Telugu. In Telugu states, the film grossed Rs. 33 crore over the weekend, starting from a Rs. 10 crore first day; typically, it would be around Rs. 28-29 crore. The weekend trend has assured the success status for the film, though it will be the Monday hold that stamps it.
The day-wise box office collections of Kuberaa in India are as follows:
The performance could have looked even more impressive if the Tamil version had done its bit, given that the headliner of the cast is a Tamil star, Dhanush. However, the film had a below-par opening in Tamil Nadu, and then the weekend trend was bad, with Sunday collecting less than Friday. The Tamil version also underperformed overseas.
This has been a terrible year for the Telugu box office, with barely any major releases since Sankranti in January. A couple of mid-level hits aside, the landscape has remained dry. In that context, Kuberaa has brought a much-needed breather, but a lot more is needed.
The territorial breakdown for Kuberaa is as follows:

Sonakshi Sinha backs Deepika Padukone for leaving Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit: ‘She did it for a fair reason'
After Ajay Devgn and Kajol, actor Sonakshi Sinha has voiced her support for Deepika Padukone's eight-hour shift demand. In a recent interview, Sonakshi said she fully supports the idea. The eight-hour shift became an active debate after the Piku actor allegedly walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit after he refused to agree to her terms. Speaking to India Today, Sonakshi supported Deepika's decision to walk away from Spirit. She said, 'I don't even know if it is true or not. But if it is, it's a very fair reason.' The actor added, 'I have worked with actors who don't work beyond eight hours. So, I don't see why it should be any different for female actors as well.' While she backed Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha also admitted that different projects have different needs. 'It also depends on the requirements of the project and all. You can schedule it in a way where you accommodate those hours. There are a lot of other things to shoot with other people, which you can finish off in the same time. I think it's very achievable.'

See inside pics Taking her own example, Sonkashi shared that she has been in the industry for over 15 years and in these years she has come across actors who have both worked more and less than her. She added, 'But you do need time for yourself beyond shoot as well. If I am doing a film where I am required to be extremely fit, I need those two hours to go to the gym. Well, if you put me on set for 12 to 14 hours, I won't be able to do it.' Deepika Padukone reportedly exited Spirit after director Sandeep Reddy Vanga declined her requests for an eight-hour workday, a share in the film's profits, and not having to deliver her dialogues in Telugu. She was later replaced by Animal actress Triptii Dimri.
