Dhanush returns to theatres with Kuberaa, a Telugu-language thriller directed by Sekhar Kammula. Released today (June 20), the film features Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. While viewers are praising the performances and emotional weight of the film, many feel the story takes too long to pick up pace.

The film tells the story of a beggar caught in a web of money and power. With a strong social angle and political undertones, it is being seen as Kammula’s most ambitious work yet. Though it has its flaws, audiences say the film connects emotionally, especially in the second half.

Kuberaa Review: Dhanush’s Performance Wins Audience’s  Hearts

Dhanush is being praised widely for his role as a beggar. On social media, fans are calling it one of his best performances. One user wrote, “Dhanush deserves a national award for his spectacular performance.” Another called his role “a blockbuster in its own right.”

Rashmika Mandanna’s role also earned positive feedback. Her chemistry with Dhanush stood out for many. Nagarjuna, as a calm and composed CBI officer, brought balance to the intense drama. Viewers noted that all three leads delivered strong performances that kept the story grounded.

The film’s visuals, shot by Niketh Bommireddy, are getting special mention. Fans appreciated the cinematography for creating a moody and cinematic feel. Devi Sri Prasad’s background score is another highlight, adding emotion without overpowering the scenes.

Kuberaa’s Slow Start Balanced By Strong Climax

Despite strong acting and visuals, some viewers pointed out that the screenplay felt slow in the first half. They felt the story took time to gain momentum. However, once the second half begins, the emotional moments and twists kept audiences engaged. Many said the payoff was worth the wait.

At just over 3 hours, the film’s runtime was another talking point. While some felt it could have been trimmed, others didn’t mind due to the strong finish. With early reviews leaning positive, it is aiming for a solid box office run.

The film has been released in multiple languages and faces tough competition from Sitaare Zameen Par and 28 Years Later, both of which were released on the same day. Now, it’s up to audiences to decide which film stays on top.
