Kuberaa has delivered a strong opening at the box office, reigniting theatres after a relatively dull spell. Day 1 saw housefull boards reappear across major centres, bringing much-needed cheer to exhibitors. Particularly in regions like Nizam, the response has been electric, with Hyderabad recording over 80% occupancy — a trend expected to continue through the weekend. Buyers in Andhra Pradesh are optimistic, and commercial momentum appears to be building steadily.
While Dhanush headlines the film, the unexpected spotlight has landed squarely on Nagarjuna. His decision to take on a pivotal role, despite not being the titular character, raised intrigue. From the film’s opening moments, director Shekhar Kammula subtly pivots the narrative weight toward Nagarjuna’s character, crafting major story developments around him. In terms of screen time and narrative heft, he stands nearly equal to Dhanush.
However, Nagarjuna’s portrayal of Deepak — a composed and introspective former CBI officer — has led to mixed reactions among fans. The absence of high-voltage elevation scenes and his character’s calm demeanor left a section of his fan base yearning for more traditional heroism.
Addressing this, Nagarjuna clarified that his involvement in Kuberaa stemmed purely from his belief in the story, not box office positioning. “It was never about stardom or market strategies,” he noted. His performance is sincere and grounded, requiring viewers to engage with the emotional and thematic depth of his character — something that may take time to be fully appreciated.
This isn’t a first for Nagarjuna. Over the years, he has backed meaningful cinema even when he wasn’t the central figure — as seen in Adhipathi with Mohan Babu, Krishnarjuna with Manchu Vishnu, and Ninne Premistha with Srikanth. Yet, Kuberaa stands out for its polish and layered storytelling, making it one of the more refined entries in this category.
With Kuberaa setting the tone, attention now turns to Nagarjuna’s upcoming project Coolie, as fans and trade watchers alike wait to see what new heights it can reach.
