Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa is shaping up to be a massive hit, and the ticket sales prove it! With its release just around the corner on June 20, 2025, this pan-Indian thriller starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna is flying off the charts on BookMyShow, racking up over 12,000 tickets and counting. Fans are clearly pumped, and here’s why Kuberaa’s hype is turning into a box office frenzy.
The trailer, which dropped on June 15 at a big Hyderabad event, has everyone talking. It dives into a juicy story about a 10,000-crore scam, with Nagarjuna as a straight-laced government officer teaming up with Dhanush’s slick, street-smart beggar. The rich-versus-poor vibe, packed with twists and Sekhar Kammula’s knack for tugging at heartstrings, has folks curious about the real-life inspo behind it. Plus, seeing Dhanush and Nagarjuna together on screen? That’s a rare treat driving tons of excitement.
Ticket sales are popping off, especially in big cities where advance bookings just kicked off. Over 8,700 tickets sold in just 24 hours, even with limited theaters open, and numbers are climbing fast as more screens join in. Overseas, the USA’s premiere bookings are already at $115,763 across 350 spots, with 6,629 tickets gone. If this keeps up, trade folks are betting on a solid opening day, with at least an 8-10 crore share in India to hit the mark.
Sekhar Kammula, marking 25 years in the game, is riding high after Fidaa and Love Story, and fans are rooting for him to nail it again with Kuberaa. His promo game’s been smart—starting with mysterious teasers like Trance of Kuberaa and building to a trailer that spills just enough to keep you hooked. Devi Sri Prasad’s banging music, Niketh Bommireddy’s gritty visuals, and Karthika Srinivas’ tight editing make the promos feel like a big, epic ride, all backed by producers Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao.
Even with a slight hiccup in promotions due to the Ahmedabad plane crash, the Kuberaa team’s back in full swing. The film’s take on wealth gaps and corruption is hitting home, and early buzz from insiders like Romeo Pictures’ CEO Rahul calls it “raw, intense, and powerful.” With a U/A rating, a trimmed 3-hour-1-minute runtime, and a rollout across 1,600 screens in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, it’s ready to pull in crowds everywhere.
