Will Kuberaa be a Box Office Hit?

Kollywood has high hopes for Kuberaa, especially after the disappointing performance of Kamal's Tak Life in June, which left theaters empty. Early viewers have praised the film, predicting a potential box office collection exceeding 200 crores if it resonates with the audience. This would make Kuberaa Dhanush's highest-grossing film, surpassing his previous best, Rayan, which earned 150 crores.
