Dhanush's Kuberaa Is Going Strong Despite The Sitare Zameen Par Threat At Box Office
Kuberaa, the crime drama starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Rashmika Mandanna, has maintained a strong run at the box office since its release. The film enjoyed a solid theatrical presence over the past two weeks and is poised for a good third weekend as well. After a robust opening and a strong first week, the momentum slightly dipped in the second week. The film successfully crossed the Rs 80 crore mark.
As per Sacnilk, Kuberaa earned Rs 90 lakh on its second Thursday, pushing its 14-day total to Rs 84 crore net in India across all languages. On the same day, the film recorded an overall occupancy of 12.27 per cent in Telugu and 11.21 per cent in Tamil regions.
The film had a successful opening weekend, grossing Rs 14.75 crore on Day 1, 16.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 17.35 crore on Sunday. Kuberaa earned Rs 69 crores in its first week of sales across all languages. Kuberaa received positive reviews from both fans and critics, particularly for its fascinating storyline and cast performances.
Aside from Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika, the Sekhar Kammula film also stars Jim Sarbh as the lead. Devi Sri Prasad created the film's music, while Niketh Bommi handled the cinematography. The film's production designers are Ramakrishna Sabbani and Monika Nigotre, while Chaithanya Pingali co-wrote it. Kubera has been bankrolled by Suniel Naran and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao under the banner of Sree Venkateswara Cinemas. Speaking about the reviews of his film, director Sekhar Kammula said, 'Reception has been exceptional, especially in Telugu and overseas. In Tamil Nadu, it's starting slowly but picking up. Tamil reviews are excellent, but the theatrical collections there have been a little slow. Still, overall, I'm very happy with the outcome."
Kuberaa tells the narrative of Deva, a beggar whose life is changed by his encounter with Deepak, a former CBI officer. The film uses a social and political tale to explore themes of greed, power and redemption. Deva becomes entangled in a world of black money laundering and shadow finance, while Deepak, who is initially honest, is drawn into a crooked system.

Fresh trouble for Saif Ali Khan: How the Nawab of Pataudi also inherited Nawab of Bhopal's properties, what court has said about it
Actor Saif Ali Khan recently faced a legal setback, after the Madhya Pradesh High Court on June 30 set aside a trial court order that had made him, his sisters and mother the sole legal heirs of the Nawab of Bhopal. While Saif and his kin have not yet lost all rights over these properties, their legal fight is now harder. Importantly, this case is separate from the Enemy Properties case which Saif is also fighting over these properties. Saif Ali Khan is also the Nawab of Pataudi. What is this case, what does Saif stand to lose, and how did the Nawab of Pataudi inherit the Nawab of Bhopal's properties in the first place? We explain. What is this case? Saif Ali Khan inherited the Bhopal properties from his father's mother, Sajida Begum. Sajida's father, Hamidullah Khan, was the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal, holding the title till his death in 1960. His heir apparent had been his eldest daughter Abida Begum, but she migrated to Pakistan in 1950. Abida's younger sister Sajida then inherited the title, along with properties estimated to be worth over Rs 15,000 crore. Sajida Begum was married to Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, the Nawab of Pataudi. Iftikhar and Sajida's son was Mansoor Ali Khan 'Tiger Pataudi', the famous cricketer who married actor Sharmila Tagore. The couple's children are Saif, Soha, and Saba Ali Khan. The current case was filed 25 years ago by other family members of Hamidullah Khan, including his brother Obaidullah Khan and the third daughter Rabia Begum, who wanted a share of the Nawab's personal properties. They are seeking partition and succession of the Nawab's private properties as per Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Act, 1937, and first moved a trial court in this regard in 1999. A year later, they approached the Jabalpur bench of the Madhya Pradesh HC against the trial court's order. The appellant heirs contended that the trial court erroneously assumed that the private properties of the Nawab are part of the throne and will thus automatically pass on to the successor to the throne. The HC has now set aside the 1999 order and sent the matter back, directing that 'the trial Court shall make all possible efforts to conclude and decide it expeditiously, preferably within a period of one year.' This involves some prime real estate in and near Bhopal, including the Flag Staff House, where Saif spent his childhood, the luxury hotel Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, Dar-Us-Salam, Bungalow of Habibi, Ahmedabad Palace, and Kohefiza Property. After Abida Begum, the Nawab's heir apparent, went to Pakistan, these were declared 'enemy property'. Enemy property refers to the assets left behind in India by individuals who migrated to 'enemy nations'. Following the wars between India and Pakistan in 1965 and 1971, and the Sino-Indian War in 1962, the Indian government assumed control of properties and businesses owned by those who adopted the nationality of Pakistan or China. These properties were vested with the Custodian of Enemy Property for India. In January, the Madhya Pradesh High Court asked Saif Ali Khan to approach the appellate authority against the government's 'enemy property' order. It is not clear whether Saif, who was then recuperating from a knife attack by an intruder inside his home, moved the tribunal by January 12. Nawab Hamidullah Khan was the first man to rule Bhopal in five generations, only to be succeeded by his daughter again. Bhopal has had an interesting history of women Nawabs since 1819, when Begum Qudsia prevailed upon the British to allow daughters to inherit the throne. After Qudsia came the Begums Sikandar, Shahjahan, and Sultan Jahan. Begum Sultan Jahan, Hamidullah Khan's mother, was the first chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University. Abida Begum's son, Shaharyar Khan, eventually became Pakistan's foreign secretary. He has authored a book called The Begums of Bhopal.

Content creator Apoorva Mukhija, a The Rebel Kid, has been making headlines following her recent appearance on The Traitors. Earlier, several reports claimed that her net worth was Rs 41 crore. It was also reported that she earns around Rs 2.5 lakh per day and charges Rs 6 lakh for a single Instagram reel. In a recent interview, Apoorva dismissed these rumours, stating she isn't earning even one-tenth of the claimed amount. She also shared her mother's reaction to the exaggerated reports. During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Apoorva said, 'I am everywhere but my net worth is not even close to 41 crore. I'm not even making one-tenth of that.' Even her mother was shocked to read the headlines. 'My mom sent me a screenshot and asked, 'Kaha hai ye saare paise? Kyu nahi hum ghar khareed paa rahe hai? (Where is all this money? Why aren't we able to buy a house then?)' I asked her if she's okay. Nahi hai humare pass itne saare paise (We don't have so much money).' The influencer also revealed that no brand is paying her the money that she demands. 'How do I care if a random publication has written 41 crore as my net worth out of nowhere. What do people think?' she added. ALSO READ | Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid, calls Sudhanshu Pandey a 'misogynist', says he has spoken more outside The Traitors than he did on the show Apoorva Mukhija also pointed at her outfit during the interview, and joked that her dress is also rented. 'These clothes are rented. I have to return them right after this. Look at my heels, they're so dirty. I haven't cleaned them in days. My nails are fake, the watch is worth Rs 20,000, and that's the most expensive thing I'm wearing. But Rs 41 crore is insane. The moment I earn Rs 10 crore, I'll retire. Someone take me there. Give me money,' she shared. Earlier, after reports claiming her net worth was Rs 41 crore went viral, Apoorva took to Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Galat hai bhai????' The content creator was recently seen on Karan Johar's reality show The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video.
