The makers can expect a strong showing on Saturday (June 21), as the film enters its first weekend and second day of release. ETimes' review of Kuberaa reads: 'Dhanush is in top form, delivering a performance that's remarkably restrained yet emotionally resonant. His physical transformation—from a beggar with a photographic memory to a financial ghost—is as telling as his inner conflict. He truly gets under the skin of the character, striking an emotional chord as a compassionate man who cares for both people and animals. Nagarjuna Akkineni surprises with a stoic, subdued act that smoulders beneath the surface. Rashmika Mandanna continues her successful streak, adding innocent humour through her naïve charm. Jim Sarbh commands attention as the antagonist, bringing a quiet menace to the role. The supporting cast adds texture, though some roles could have used more depth.'
