Kuberaa Box Office: Dhanush's Film Flops in Tamil Nadu Despite Strong Reviews?
June 29, 2025: Despite featuring Tamil cinema’s powerhouse Dhanush, Kuberaa has turned out to be a box office disappointment in Tamil Nadu. Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the crime drama has received largely positive reviews, but that hasn’t translated into footfalls in Dhanush’s home state.
While the Telugu version of the film soared past ₹50 crore net — making it Dhanush’s first film to achieve this milestone — the Tamil version is crawling. In its first 8 days, it managed just ₹18.68 crore net, and is expected to close below ₹25 crore gross in Tamil Nadu.
This is alarming considering the theatrical rights for Tamil Nadu were sold at ₹20 crore, and the film required ₹40 crore gross to break even. It’s now officially heading toward a loss for distributors in the state.
The failure of Kuberaa in Tamil Nadu is particularly surprising given Dhanush’s immense fan base. Industry insiders suggest that the film’s grounded, non-massy tone may have limited its appeal in a market that still responds strongly to high-octane commercial entertainment.

Written by Sekhar Kammula and Chaithanya Pingali, Kuberaa stars Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna and is produced by Suniel Narang, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, and Ajay Kaikala. Music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad, and the film is reportedly made on a ₹120 crore budget.
