However, the film faced the usual weekday slump. The collections dropped to Rs 6.8 crore by Monday. The film continued to slide through the week. Despite a brief boost over the second weekend, the trend since Day 11 shows a steep decline.Occupancy numbersOccupancy rates on Wednesday (Day 13) were modest. In the Telugu market, where the film performed strongest as ‘Kuberaa’ registered a 13.09% occupancy. It had peak attendance during evening shows (14.32%). The Tamil version showed a slightly lower 10.99% overall occupancy, with a noticeable dip in the evening segment at just under 9%.Impressive cast, our verdict‘Kuberaa’ featured Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh, and Dalip Tahil. ETimes review for the film reads, “Where Kuberaa falters is in its pacing. The first half takes its time to build the world—perhaps a little too slowly. The film could have benefited from a tighter edit. Still, it holds attention with its moody storytelling, evocative visuals, stirring score, and relevant themes that explore the price of survival and ambition. Kuberaa is not your usual commercial potboiler—and that’s precisely what makes it worth a watch. It’s a brooding, introspective take on wealth and morality. It’s not flawless, but it’s a bold leap from a filmmaker unafraid to reinvent his canvas.”
