The film is about compassion, empathy, and the interconnectedness of living beings (the Dog included).
Writer & Director Abishan Jeevinth bases his film completely on the gospel tenet "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and sets about to prove it admirably.
This tenet is a central teaching in Christianity. It emphasizes treating others with the same kindness, compassion, and respect that one would expect for themselves.
This principle is not limited to close friends or family, but extends to all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.
It is a clarion call to action, urging believers to demonstrate love through actions and to extend compassion to those in need including those we may not know or even like.
Loving one's neighbor is not just an emotion but should be demonstrated through actions that benefit others.
A man is not a man because he is a man; a man is a man because he is responsible and humane towards other fellow humans and humanity as a whole.
The only problem i have with the film is the issue of illegal immigration as shown.
The family cites hyperinflation in Sri Lanka as their motive for coming to India. They are not refugees!
So it is a problem when nobody reports them to the authorities because they were taking advantage of the loopholes in the Indian system by procuring fake aadhar cards, fake voter cards, mobile phones etc.. and so the entire neighborhood were breaking the Law by supporting them.
Otherwise, yes, the film is well-made, sweet, tender and heart-warming. A rib-tickler with all the core emotions in place which a family movie should have.
Simple and straight to the point.
Dunki (2023, My IMDb rating 2/10) which deals with a similar subject fails on this count.

A whodunnit crime thriller, Maargan engages you with its unique storyline and strong performances despite having some loopholes/flaws.
As expected Vijay Antony is good. But it is the debutant Ajay Dhishan, who steals the show.
Arvind (Ajay Dhishan) is an ace swimmer with an eidectic memory - relating to or denoting mental images having unusual vividness and detail, as if actually visible. His character is modelled after Dorothy Allison (1924-1999), a psychic who assisted the police in a number of crime investigations in the USA. This superhuman quality: an out-of-body experience of Arvind, becomes the flesh and backbone for the screenplay to move forward.
The director also carefully builds and shows us interesting back stories of all the key characters.
Until the last 10 minutes, i bet you cannot second-guess who the real serial killer is! Full marks to the editor, who is also the director! That trailer cut and the film cut was in such a way that at no point was i able to pinpoint the killer.
The final reveal is good, but then the film nosedives into social commentary espousing a social cause. And that's where the whole film collapses even though the killer's motivations and reasoning are well-woven into the plot.
The metaphorical descriptions of the killer's instincts and feelings are superb, and in fact it is something that i have never thought about it in that manner - despite reading and knowing about the issue! The killer's motivations certainly threw me off.
Leo John Paul, who has directed the film, makes smart sense of his editing skills to stitch scenes back and forth for an interesting non-linear narrative.
But, the sudden induction of social messaging into an investigative crime thriller is definitely a let down.
Story: 5/10 Direction: 6/10 Screenplay: 7/10 Editing: 8/10 Cinematography: 7/10 (Swimming pool sequences are good.) VFx: 6/10 (Unnecessary VFx shots in few scenes.) Music: 7/10 Acting: 7/10
The film is a one-time watch for the way it was presented on-screen!

Set in a complex world driven by black money, power, greed, deceit, trust, betrayal, and a quest for redemption, Kuberaa (2025) is a gritty, cerebral financial-crime thriller that keeps you hooked.
The film is not perfect and it takes a while for it to find its rhythm, as it shifts between the characters.
Dhanush Garu, as Deva the beggar, gives another noteworthy performance. The writing is so good that it gives him ample scope to perform.
Vintage Nagarjuna Garu is back! His character is emotional and contradicting with grey-shades and.reminds you of his role in RGV Garu's Antham (1992). Deepak Tej is a man in turmoil who wants to do the right thing but is manipulated to go against his conscience. Nagarjuna Garu conveys this anguish with restrained intensity. His body language and eyes convey his plight. Adakatteralo pokachekka!👌The last decade was really rough on Nagarjuna Garu (after Oopiri 2016) and we somehow forgot what a phenomenal actor he is!
The last decade (after Oopiri 2016) made us forget what a phenomenal actor he is!
Blending innocence, helplessness and gentle humour, Rashmika Garu makes her presence felt.
As the villain, Jim Sharbh Ji is excellent.
Kuberaa leaves a few questions unanswered towards the end. These niggles stop the story from being wholly compelling. The climax is a bit unconvincing... but I was ok with this.
Sekhar Kammula Garu's direction is not only technically strong, but also emotionally and philosophically effective. There was definitely a lot of heart and hardwork.
He lends credence to the story by setting it in Mumbai and choosing the right locations for every scene.
Anand (2004) was a manchi coffee laanti cinema. Kuberaa (2025) is a manchi kasi tho theesina cinema! Kammula kummesindu!
Story & Screenplay: 8/10 Direction: 8/10 Acting performances: 9.5/10 Music: 9/10 Locations (Mumbai): 10/10 Production Design: 9/10 Cinematography: 8.5/10 Editing: 6/10
A script with extraordinary potential. Well-delivered. But, could it have been made any better? Absolutely yes! Just ignore the shortcomings, and you'll bring home some heavy thoughts to ponder upon.
The film will do well in the Hindi belt too.
A must-watch on the big screen.
