Dhanush’s Kuberaa, which hit screens on June 20, has swiftly risen to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year in North America. With a current gross of $1.32 million, the film has outperformed several major releases and is on track to achieve break-even status by the end of its opening weekend.

Despite strong box office numbers, most Tamil films this year have struggled to turn profitable in the overseas market. Among the top performers, only Dragon and Tourist Family have been declared blockbusters, delivering healthy returns to their stakeholders.

Here are the top-grossing Tamil films in North America for 2025 so far:

• #Kuberaa – $1.32 million

• #ThugLife – $1.29 million

• #Dragon – $1.27 million

• #Good Bad Ugly – $1.26 million

• #VidaaMuyarchi – $969K

• #Retro – $547K

• #Tourist Family – $384K

With its continued momentum, Kuberaa now stands as a rare commercial success in the Tamil diaspora market this year.
