'Kuberaa's' first single, 'Poyivaa Nanba': Dhanush's film song celebrates life through death

'Poyivaa Nanba', the first single from 'Kuberaa', flips the usual narrative around death by turning it into a celebration of life. Composed by Devi Sri Prasad, the song infuses a powerful, high-energy vibe into what is traditionally a sombre theme. Instead of mourning, the track embraces death as a form of liberation and remembrance. The lyrics reflect on living with purpose and being remembered with love, bringing emotional weight to the upbeat composition. The song from the Dhanush starrer is released in multiple languages at the same time as the film gears up for pan-Indian release.


A soundtrack bursting with energy and emotion

What makes the track particularly unique is its rebellious, spirited tone. Packed with electric beats and lively instrumentation, the song pulses with vitality. Rather than evoking sorrow, it encourages listeners to embrace life’s fleeting nature and live fully. The juxtaposition of heavy themes with such an energetic musical treatment is bold—and deeply refreshing.

Musical brilliance backed by a talented team

Lyricists Viveka and Bhaskarabhatla have crafted lines, respectively, in Tamil and Telugu that beautifully balance depth and rhythm. The instrumental side features contributions from skilled artists Vikas Badisa on keyboards, Balesh on shehnai, and Vijay on trumpet and trombone. Dhanush has sung the song, while the vibrant chorus brings together powerhouse voices like S.P. Abhishek, Aravind Srinivas, Sai Sharan, and others, adding layers of harmony to the track. The song was mixed and mastered at DSP Studios by A. Uday Kumar, with vocal supervision by S.P. Abhishek.

'Kuberaa' promises an intense cinematic ride.

Slated for release on June 20, 2025, 'Kuberaa' is shaping up to be a gripping social thriller. Starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna, the film explores the life of a beggar who undergoes a life-changing transformation. With themes of greed, power, and moral struggle at its core, the film is expected to deliver both emotional depth and thrilling storytelling.
