Kuberaa, the Dhanush-starrer film which hit theatres on Friday (June 20), has been receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from the audience and critics alike. The film is written and directed by Sekhar Kammula and also stars Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh and others.
While it is a common notion that films with longer runtimes might not sit well with the audience, Kuberaa seems to have broken the curse. The film, which has a runtime of over three hours, is being thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, at a time when the attention span has been reducing.
Kuberaa movie reviews show good sign as Dhanush film's runtime doesn’t matter
It’s raining praises for Dhanush, who has once again aced a different role this time. With Kuberaa, the actor plays the role of a beggar, and Dhanush left no crumbs as his performance left the audience in awe.
Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the makers chose a lavish runtime of over three hours. It is no surprise that the audience gets easily bored when films tend to get lengthy. But Kuberaa has turned the tide, owned a long runtime and also managed to impress the audience. Ever since its release on Friday, the film has been receiving a lot of praise, with Dhanush’s performance and dedication levels being lauded. Now, this proves that a film, even with a longer runtime, can manage to be successful, provided it makes good use of the audience’s time.
