The Telugu filmmaker Seakhar Kamula’s reputation speaks for herself. With films like ‘Anand’, ‘Godavari’, and ‘Fida’, among others, their films are still progressive at the same time. His films, even after years, fall in love with you again. His latest offering with a power-pack artists, including Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Jim Sarbh and Rashmika Mandanna, is a film that touches various topics including power, wealth, betrayal, humanity and justice. Has he managed to kill gold again? Let’s know!

Neeraj Mitra (Jim Sarbh) is a powerful and ruthless businessman who detects oil reserves that can support India for the next 15 years. He makes a deal with the ruling government that will benefit both sides in the long run. To help in carrying out his plan, Neeraj contacts an honest CBI officer Deepak (Nagarjuna), who is in jail due to a false case. Although Deepak initially refuses, he eventually joins the army after doing a lot with Neeraj and his father.

The lamp comes with a plan to scout four beggars from different parts of the country to help Neeraj’s vision, without knowing the results. One of them is the deity (bow), who is a gullible but fast man with an enthusiasm for life. When the lamp’s plan faces a nap, it highlights the real faces and intentions of the people above it. The deity has to understand what is happening around him and will have to go on a journey to survive.

Director Sekhar Kamula’s ‘Kubera’ offers an attractive concept through three very different persons – Neeraj, Deepak and Dev’s life. Neeraj represents those who believe that everything can be purchased with money and power. A person caught in the middle of the economic table is Deepak honest, but is abandoned by law and justice. Dev is a beggar, but a man is happy with what he earns. Neeraj wants to be the most effective, Deepak wants to clean the stain in his name and Dev just wants to survive. When these three letters collide, you get ‘Kubera’.

The film takes its time to present each character, drawing us into their world. The screenplay tilts you, creates anticipation for what is next. Sekhar Kamula tries his best to keep the proceedings interesting and clever. However, as the film is in the second half, it sinks. Till then, it remains perfect for the style, excluding the turn one after the other, only to resort to a traditional end.

Dhanush, as a beggar Dev, immerses his teeth in a role with full honesty. You do not see the bow in the role, you only see Dev and this is the biggest plus. You buy his innocence, you are the root for him, and you want the world to be kind to him. And he makes you feel all with his brilliant performance. Nagarjuna brings his expertise to play Deepak’s gray-shhed role. The characters of Sekhar Kamula are always layered and Dhanush and Nagarjuna feel us for Dev and Deepak. Jim Sarbh has the character of a monitor as a villain, but he tries his best to make Neeraj a ruthless demon.

Rashmika Mandanna, as, acts as a catalyst and is sunny in the life of the deity. When her life is at risk, she appears to save her and performs a memorable performance. Director Sekhar Kamula’s ‘Kubera’ is a metaphor in many ways. Some scenes understand one that we are all beggars in one way or in the other. Life, power and wealth have a layered understanding of ‘Kubera’s’ strength.

Devi Shri Prasad’s background music enhances the film. However, songs could be avoided as they do not add much to the film’s story. The editing could have been tight. With a 3 -hour and 2 -minute runtime, the film feels longer, and shows it.

‘Kubera’ raises important questions about justice, wealth and power. But, this is not one without defects. Pre-climax and climax run slightly and lack emotional connect. He said, ‘Kubera’ presents a world that will keep you contradictory.
