Kuberaa: About the film 

The film gains momentum with Dhanush’s entry and sustains its grip right through to the end. Portraying a beggar, Dhanush delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career. His intense portrayal is further elevated by Devi Sri Prasad’s stirring background score, which adds emotional depth to several key moments.
 
In the second half, director Sekhar Kammula combines his signature social drama with an intense and frantic story. While the film has a few minor flaws, it remains a powerful and emotionally resonant experience, driven by stirring music and standout performances. Throughout India, the film has been made available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
 
It centres on a conflict between ethics, authority, and money. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh audiences who attended early morning performances commended the cinematography, saying it was worthy of applause.
