The Indian Express has given 3.5 stars to Sekhar Kammula's 'Kuberaa' and noted that Dhanush and Nagarjuna shine bright in the mindful "massy" film. "It's a rare film that asks difficult questions of its audience, and...trusts them to sit with the discomfort," the review read, adding, "Watch the film to witness how a storyteller takes on power machinery with softness."
