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:

BTS' Suga Donates 5 Billion Won To Autism Centre, Launches Music-Led Therapy Programme
Last Updated: The donation was made to Seoul's Severance Hospital, which announced the upcoming opening of the "Min Yoon-gi Treatment Centre", named after Suga's real name. BTS star Suga has made a groundbreaking philanthropic gesture by donating 5 billion won (approx. USD 3.62 million) to build a treatment centre for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in South Korea. The donation was made to Seoul's Severance Hospital, which announced the upcoming opening of the 'Min Yoon-gi Treatment Centre", named after Suga's real name. Set to open this September, the centre will provide long-term, individualised mental health care for children with ASD, including behavioural, psychological, and language therapies. It will also integrate clinical treatment with ongoing research to offer comprehensive support for young patients and their families. While the donation itself is historic, Suga's role in the project goes far beyond financial assistance. He collaborated with Dr Cheon Keun-ah, a top child psychiatry expert at Severance Hospital, to design the centre's approach. Their joint effort led to the creation of 'MIND" — a therapeutic initiative that stands for Music, Interaction, Network, and Diversity. The programme uses music as a tool to help autistic children express emotions and build social skills. Suga personally volunteered on weekends throughout the spring, interacting with children in the MIND programme. He played the guitar, guided rhythm sessions, and used music-based techniques to help children communicate. Hospital officials noted significant improvement in the children's emotional engagement and cooperation. 'Even while performing with BTS, he has donated to charities and shown a strong interest in helping young people with depression and behavioural issues. He has sought to find ways to use his music to make a positive difference," the hospital stated. Speaking about his experience, Suga said, 'I realised that music can be a powerful way to express feelings and communicate with the world. It made me happy to be part of the treatment process for children with autism. I will keep working so that more children can live as members of society." Suga recently completed his mandatory military service as a social worker. First Published:
