'Kuberaa' Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Dhanush, Sekhar Kammula, and Nagarjuna overwhelmed with praise from fans
Sekhar Kammula’s highly anticipated film 'Kuberaa', starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna Akkineni in lead roles, is off to a strong start with early reviews praising its intense storytelling, layered performances, and philosophical depth. The crime drama dives deep into the journey of a man who rises from being a beggar on the streets to a powerful figure entangled in the harsh realities of ambition, power, and greed. Dhanush takes on the titular role, playing a morally complex character navigating a world full of ethical dilemmas. Opposite him, veteran actor Nagarjuna Akkineni portrays a charismatic and politically influential personality. His character is neither purely good nor evil, allowing him to explore moral grey zones that resonate with today’s audiences. Rashmika Mandanna, plays a key emotional anchor in the story, while Jim Sarbh plays a businessman with secrets of his own. Set in a dystopian urban world and shot across real locations in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Tamil Nadu, the film brings a sense of authenticity to its gritty narrative. Dhanush reportedly shot several scenes by actually begging on the streets of Tirupati. The screenplay is carefully crafted, with reviewers noting its slow-burn nature that pays off as the story unfolds. The film originally had a 3-hour-15-minute runtime but was trimmed to 3 hours and 1 minute, giving it a more engaging flow while maintaining narrative integrity. The movie has received a U/A certificate and is said to be suitable for both youth and family audiences looking for meaningful storytelling. Produced on a lavish budget of over Rs 120 crore, Kuberaa is a true pan-Indian project, releasing simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
