Sekhar Kammula's 'Kuberaa' is a bold attempt to blend social commentary with gripping thriller tropes, and while it doesn’t always hit the mark, it certainly holds your attention. At the center of this imperfect but absorbing film is Dhanush, delivering a powerhouse performance that anchors the narrative, even when the script falters.

The story dives into the dark underbelly of wealth and corruption, exploring how unchecked greed disrupts lives and systems. Nagarjuna Akkineni plays his part with seasoned restraint, while Rashmika Mandanna brings sincerity to a role that deserved more layers. Kammula's direction is ambitious, with flashes of brilliance in both writing and execution, but the film occasionally stumbles under the weight of its own complexity.

What ‘Kuberaa’ lacks in polish, it compensates for in intent and impact. It’s not perfect - the pacing wobbles and the editing feels uneven - but it's a film that dares to say something meaningful. And for that, it’s worth watching.
