Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa marks a bold shift, delving into the murky world of black money laundering and moral dilemmas. Dhanush delivers a remarkably restrained yet emotionally resonant performance as Deva, a beggar whose life takes an unexpected turn. Nagarjuna surprises with a stoic act, while Jim Sarbh brings quiet menace as the antagonist. The film excels in its brooding atmosphere, evocative visuals, and relevant themes. However, its pacing, particularly in the first half, can be slow, and some supporting roles, including Rashmika Mandanna’s, feel underutilized. Despite this, Kuberaa is a sincere, thought-provoking film that anchors its ambitious narrative with stellar acting.
