Tollywood witnessed a roaring start to the box office weekend as Kuberaa, starring the legendary Nagarjuna, registered a thunderous Day 1 collection, cementing its place as the 5th highest Tollywood opener of 2025. The action-packed thriller didn’t just make waves—it made history, as Nagarjuna beat the opening day record set by his own son, Naga Chaitanya, earlier this year.
According to early estimates, Kuberaa raked in an impressive ₹34.6 crore gross worldwide on its opening day, with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributing the lion’s share. The film’s mass appeal, gripping narrative, and Nagarjuna’s intense performance have struck the right chord with fans and general audiences alike.
Nagarjuna’s Triumphant Return
In recent years, Nagarjuna’s box office presence had seen highs and lows, but Kuberaa marks a power-packed return to form. This marks his biggest opener in over a decade and sets a new benchmark in his career. It’s a symbolic victory too—surpassing his son’s Thandel, which had earned around ₹28 crore on Day 1, and previously held the spot for the actor-family’s highest opener in 2025.
All Eyes on the Weekend
Trade analysts are optimistic that Kuberaa could maintain its momentum through the weekend, especially with positive word-of-mouth and strong occupancy across multiplexes and single screens. The film’s action sequences, sharp dialogues, and Nagarjuna’s fierce avatar have become a talking point across social media.
Clash Averted, Clear Run
With no major releases clashing this week, Kuberaa enjoys a solo run at the box office, which is likely to boost its weekend numbers even further. Exhibitors are already reporting increased advance bookings for Saturday and Sunday, signaling that the first weekend may cross the ₹90 crore gross mark.
A New High in Family Legacy
Fans are celebrating Nagarjuna’s win not just as an actor but as a patriarch who has outshone his younger generation in box office numbers. With Kuberaa setting new records, it has also reignited the excitement around star-driven big-budget Telugu films in 2025.
