Kuberaa review ; Dhanush - BGM OK but others ? Will Beat Ajith Post Covid numbers ?

 Dhanush has just delivered a masterclass on performing arts in Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa, and audiences cannot get over his stellar acting in the film. The crime drama has arrived in the theaters, and viewers have offered their reviews of X. The film also stars Nagarjuna, Jim Sarbh and Rashmika Mandanna, but hardly anyone has talked about them yet! Apart from Dhanush, if there is one star who is being talked about, it is Devi Sri Prasad and his music! The background music of the film is being hailed as one of the main stars of this crime drama!

However, audiences have pointed out a major issue with the film. The length! A viewer on Reddit wrote, “Just saw it, it’s 45 minutes too long, feels 4 hours long. But the emotions for the first 2 hours of work are botched. Dhanush carries. They could’ve ended things on a lighter note and given a proper payoff. But it’s watchable.” 

Deccan Chronicle review; Kuberaa suffers from a lack of tonal consistency and narrative coherence. The plot, while ambitious, is contrived and fails to emotionally connect with the audience, barring some episodes showcasing the pitiable world of beggars, particularly one scene where a deceased beggar is left untouched even by GHMC workers, and other beggars burn him in the dump yard.

Dhanush’s demand for ₹10,000 crore for the welfare of beggars across India seems outlandish and symbolic, and the sequence where he forces Jim Sarbh to beg for a day stretches believability.

Jim Sarbh feels miscast, lacking the menace required for such a pivotal role. Rashmika Mandanna plays a semi-tragic character who forms a bond with Dhanush after a personal heartbreak, but her role feels underwritte

With 323.79 crores, Dhanush can surpass Ajith Kumar’s post-COVID run if Kuberaa hits a century at the Indian box office. For those who don’t know, Ajith’s post-COVID sum is 428.77 crore net. To topple him, the Raayan actor needs 104.99 crores more. Achieving this much with Kuberaa is a very difficult task, still, anything is possible if word-of-mouth is positive.
