**Headline: ‘Kuberaa’ Strikes Gold at the Box Office, Surpasses Vikram’s Latest in Opening Weekend**

**Hyderabad, India** – Sekhar Kammula’s highly anticipated multi-starrer, ‘Kuberaa,’ featuring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh, has enjoyed a stellar opening weekend, raking in an estimated ₹47 crore net in India, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film, which opened to positive reviews, has quickly surpassed the lifetime collection of Vikram’s ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’ (₹40.75 crore).

‘Kuberaa’ opened strongly on Friday with ₹14.75 crore, saw an 11.86% increase on Saturday at ₹16.5 crore, and continued its successful run on Sunday with ₹15.75 crore. The Telugu version of the film is reportedly performing better than the Tamil release.

The film tells the story of a beggar who becomes entangled in a grand conspiracy after putting his trust in an ex-CBI officer working for a cutthroat CEO. Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna have received high praise for their performances.

At a success meet held Sunday evening, music composer Devi Sri Prasad expressed his confidence that Dhanush’s performance in ‘Kuberaa’ would earn him another National Award, recalling his previous successful prediction for Allu Arjun’s National Award win for “Pushpa”. “I wish that for Kuberaa, you should, you must, and you will win for your fantastic performance,” he stated.

Industry analysts are watching to see if ‘Kuberaa’ can maintain its momentum and surpass the collections of other recent releases like ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, ‘HIT: The Third Case’, and the upcoming ‘Good Bad Ugly’.
