Dhanush and Nagarjuna come together for Sekhar Kammula’s compelling social drama Kuberaa, with Rashmika Mandanna playing a pivotal role.
Now, with the trailer out, the core theme has been unveiled: a gripping story cantered around a 10,000 crore scam.
Deva, a beggar unknowingly caught in a high-stakes scam when Deepak, a powerful insider tasked with hiding illicit money, tries to uplift him, with his selfish motives. The plan unravels when Deva disappears with the cash.
Kuberaa marks a complete shift for Sekhar Kammula, known for his subtle and emotional storytelling. This time, he delivers a hard-hitting narrative that dives into the stark contrasts between the rich and the poor, and the moral ambiguity surrounding power and money.
Dhanush is exceptional, fully embodying the nuances of a man living on the margins. His performance is layered, intense, and transformative.
Nagarjuna delivers a complex performance with grey shades tempered by moments of empathy. Their tense dynamic drives the film’s emotional core, while Rashmika’s role is equally vital to the storyline and Jim Sarbh adds intrigue with his presence.
Niketh Bommireddy’s gritty cinematography brings realism and texture, while Devi Sri Prasad’s evocative score enhances the emotional impact. The production values by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations are good.
Kuberaa will grace the cinemas on June 20, with high expectations created by the highly engaging trailer, just 5 days ahead of the release.
