Sensible director Sekhar Kammula is coming up with an intense social drama starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna in lead roles, while Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh essay crucial roles. A character-driven film with a fresh and thought-provoking concept, Kuberaa explores the intersection of wealth, power, and inequality. Each character in the story plays a crucial part, with distinct arcs that add depth to the narrative. While the makers had previously released a teaser and three songs from the film, they deliberately kept the plot under wraps, only revealing glimpses of the lead characters and their traits. Meanwhile, the trailer was unleashed during a grand event.
Kuberaa isn’t a hero-villain spectacle. It’s about choices in a rigged system, and identity in a world that sees only worth. Deepak is a fixer in the upper echelons of a crooked empire, pulls a beggar named Deva into his world, under the guise of charity. What follows is an unexpected twist with Deva vanishing with the entire scam cash of 10K Crore.
Sekhar Kammula dissects the invisible walls of society with brutal honesty, trading in sentimentality for realism and rage. His storytelling this time is grittier, and deeply introspective.
Dhanush delivers one of his most intense performances- silent, scruffy, and seething with unspoken fire. Nagarjuna masterfully walks the tightrope between ambition and regret. Rashmika brings a quiet grace, and Jim Sarbh is menacing as a capitalist predator cloaked in charm.
Niketh Bommireddy’s cinematography frames the divide between wealth and poverty with chilling clarity, while Devi Sri Prasad’s score pulsates with tension and soul, amplifying each emotion without overwhelming it. Backed by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations, the production values looked grand.
With just five days to go until its June 20 release, Kuberaa offers shocks, intrigue, and raises the stakes with the gripping trailer.
