ā MediaFx POV: WorkingāClass Wins
From a poor beggar to a crime bigwig, KuberaaĀ spotlights the brutal class climb, showing how the system forces grit onto the underprivileged. Dhanushās journeyābegging under a temple skyāis 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 ā and using big stars like Dhanush and Nagarjuna just extends that voice into the masses.
As Marxists at MediaFx, we applaud how KuberaaĀ 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: āIf the state fails, the streets will speak.ā
