Dhanush’s Kuberan, directed by Sekhar Kammula, hit theatres yesterday and opened to positive reviews, with fans praising Dhanush’s performance as a beggar. Critics even hint at national award potential, though the film also faced criticism from a few detractors—common for any top star release.
Despite slow initial bookings, Kuberan managed to collect ₹4.30 crore in Tamil Nadu and ₹8.75 crore in Telugu states on its first day, totaling ₹13 crore.
Given it wasn’t a holiday release, this is a solid opening. With the weekend ahead, collections are expected to rise, leaving the producer quite pleased with the film’s performance so far.
