One of 2025’s most eagerly awaited films, Kuberaa, has just turned up the heat with the release of its first single, Poyiraa Mama. Featuring the charismatic Dhanush, who not only lends his voice but also sets the screen on fire with his infectious dance moves, the song has already created a storm among fans.
What makes Poyiraa Mama truly stand out is its bold take on a typically somber subject—death. Rather than portraying it with gloom, the song reimagines death as a vibrant celebration of life. Composer Devi Sri Prasad infuses the track with high-energy beats, while the lyrics, penned by Viveka and Bhaskarabhatla, delve into deeper philosophical ideas—exploring freedom through death and the enduring impact of memory.
This contrast between theme and tone is what gives Poyiraa Mama its punch. With its rebellious vibe and pulsating rhythm, the track defies convention and inspires listeners to embrace life with full force.
The song is also a showcase of musical talent. Vikas Badisa takes charge on the keyboards, Balesh brings soul to the shehnai, and Vijay adds flair with the trumpet and trombone. The powerful chorus—featuring S.P. Abhishek, Aravind Srinivas, Narayanan Ravishankar, Sai Sharan, Shridhar Ramesh, and Shenbagaraj Ganesalingam—adds to the song’s dynamic texture.
Production-wise, the track is top-notch. It was recorded at DSP Studios in Chennai, mixed and mastered by A. Uday Kumar, with additional support from T. Uday Kumar and Suresh Kumar Taddi. Vocal supervision was helmed by S.P. Abhishek, while the orchestra was managed by Murugan.
Slated for release on June 20, 2025, Kuberaa is described as a gripping social thriller. The film boasts an impressive cast led by Dhanush, alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni and Rashmika Mandanna. Jim Sarbh and Dalip Tahil also appear in significant roles.
At the heart of Kuberaa is the journey of a beggar who undergoes a profound transformation. Set against themes of ambition and greed, the narrative is expected to present morally complex characters and intense emotional arcs, promising a thought-provoking cinematic experience.
With Poyiraa Mama already making waves, Kuberaa is gearing up to be more than just a film—it’s shaping up to be a cultural moment.
