✊ MediaFx POV: Working‑Class Wins
From a poor beggar to a crime bigwig, Kuberaa spotlights the brutal class climb, showing how the system forces grit onto the underprivileged. Dhanush’s journey—begging under a temple sky—is a symbol of how the oppressed must fight the same world that once looked down on them. Sekhar Kammula has crafted a sharp critique of social inequality through relatable storytelling — and using big stars like Dhanush and Nagarjuna just extends that voice into the masses.
As Marxists at MediaFx, we applaud how Kuberaa gives dignity and depth to the working class, illustrating both their resilience and the structural barriers they face. Theatre halls are packed, not for hero worship, but for a story rooted in social reality, saying: “If the state fails, the streets will speak.”
