5 reasons to stream Kuberaa on OTT

Dhanush’s powerful performance

Dhanush plays the role of Deva, a beggar who gets handpicked for a financial scam to be conducted for a greedy and powerful businessman. Throughout the film, Dhanush brings on a realistic portrayal of a street-side beggar who is constantly asking for alms. Audiences were in awe of the actor’s accurate depiction of the character, which was sans any fanfare and heroic stunts. Many even predicted that Dhanush might bag his next National Film Award for his performance in Kuberaa.

Thriller with unique concept

Sekhar Kammula makes a Kuberaa, a social drama thriller. It is essentially a cat-and-mouse chase between a beggar and a powerful businessman, with the mediator being played by Nagarjuna. While films with financial scams have been explored very little, barring a few films, Kuberaa is set in the financial capital of India, Mumbai and talks about the benami fraud that takes place.

Author-backed roles with talented cast

In Kuberaa, every role has a meaning and impact. Be it Rashmika Mandanna’s Sameera who stumbles upon Deva and gets caught in the drama without her willingness, or Nagarjuna’s Deepak who falls between the black and white shades, Kuberaa gives fleshed-out roles for its talented cast. Kuberaa has enough and more going on for each character, who are kept within the story for a purpose and not just throwaways.
