Neeraj Mitra, a Mumbai businessman, discovers an oil reserve hidden in the Bay of Bengal. Eager to turn it into a source of wealth, he plans a mission along with his business tycoon dad with the backing of Minister Sidappa. To make it work, he turns to Deepak Tej, an ex-C.B.I. officer now in prison for refusing to bow to corruption. Left with no choice, Deepak agrees to help. Though he does not share Neeraj’s greed, his circumstances force him into the plan. Deepak gathers a group of beggars and makes them benamis creating fake companies in their name and transferring funds between them. The beggars, Khelu, Dibya, Kushboo and Deva Kallam, from across the country to carry out the job quietly in Mumbai. Deva, a kind-hearted naive man from Tirupati along with the other beggars have no idea what they has been dragged into. All four beggars are made to stay at a house with a cruel man named Robo, who takes advantage of the beggars, and removes one of Khelu’s teeth after he stole Kushboo’s money. Deva gains blind trust for Deepak, who reminds him of his now dead brother Uppuli.
Deva calls Deepak and tells him that Khelu is missing. Afterwards, Neeraj talks with Deepak and tells him that his plan is to kill the beggars after they are done with them. Robo takes advantage of pregnant Kushboo, but Deva defends her. Eventually, Deva discovers they plan to kill all the beggars after completing an iris scan, and he escapes. This sparks a manhunt with Neeraj and Deepak racing to find him before the truth unravels and they face the dire consequences of losing him. On the run, Deva meets Sameera, who has been stranded in Mumbai after being jilted by her boyfriend. Deva almost dies after being caught by Robo but his dogs go after Robo and eat half of his arm. Deepak goes to Tirupati, in search of him after being instructed to do so by Neeraj.
Deva frequents Sameera, who now stays in a women’s hostel after her friend’s father did not let her stay at their place anywhere. They live off of Kushboo’s money as she left a small box of money and told Deva that he should use it had anything happened to her. She helps Dhanush meet Narayan Gaikwad, one of the people Deva made a transaction with, who was killed by Neeraj. Deva tells the sub-inspector about the transaction but the lack of details meant that Deva was thrown in jail for a petty case. After recognizing Neeraj’s photo on a newspaper, the sub-inspector agrees to let Deva help him in his investigation. Deva leads him to a room in a flat building which Narayan frequents, which the sub-inspector and Deva figure out has lots of money.
Deepak hunts down the location of Deva and the sub-inspector and subsequently kills the sub-inspector. Deva sneaks up behind Deepak, who traced his location, and hits him on the head with a rock. Deepak, who reformed after seeing how inhumane Neeraj is, tells Deva and Sameera that he wants to help them after they keep him captive. Deva tells Deepak about how he wants all of the beggars in various cities to have basic necessities and Deepak tells Deva that in order to expose Neeraj they need evidence. Deepak reveals to them that Kushboo is still alive and well and Deva demands that he meets Kushboo. Robo and his team track down their location and kill Kushboo right after her son is born. Deva helps a lorry driver unload crores of money that was stored in Narayan’s house in front of Neeraj’s house.
Neeraj asks Deva what his demands are and Deva tells Neeraj that he should live as a beggar for one day. Despite living as a beggar for one day, Neeraj does not reform as he does not take his job seriously and doesn’t ask for alms as his intention is finding Deva. A fight in a garbage landfill leaves Neeraj dead. Sidappa strikes another deal for his oil rig while Deva brings Kushboo’s son to Tirupati where a beggar names him Kuberaa.

Still wondering what the ending of Kuberaa (2025) really means? Here’s a spoiler-heavy breakdown of the final scene, major twists, and the deeper themes that shape the film’s conclusion.
In the closing act of Kuberaa, Deva’s desperate fight against the corrupt elite reaches its brutal climax. After narrowly escaping the guard’s slip‑up that allowed him to flee the guest house, he discovers that the same “beggars” – Khusboo, Dibya, Khelu and himself – are being used as benami fronts for Neerij Mitra’s massive oil‑money laundering scheme. When the first two are murdered, Deva realizes the stakes and seeks help from Deepak Tej, the former CBI officer who now works for Neerij.
Deepak, torn between his haunted conscience and the fear of returning to prison, finally decides to turn the tide. He leads Deva to the apartment of Narayan Gaikwad, the government officer who facilitated the illegal agreement, where a stash of cash is hidden. There he hands Deva the damning evidence he has collected and urges him to run. In a self‑sacrificial act, Deepak stays behind, fighting off Neerij’s men and absorbing multiple gunshots so that Deva, along with Sameera and the pregnant Khusboo, can escape. As he lies dying, he asks Deva to remember him as an older brother, and his last breath is a quiet triumph for having done the right thing.
Khusboo later dies giving birth, leaving Deva and Sameera with a newborn. Determined to make the corrupt profiteer feel the weight of his crimes, Deva dumps the entire hoard of illicit cash in front of Neerij’s house, turning it into a sensational news story. He then forces Neerij to beg on the streets for a day, a symbolic reversal of the beggar’s life Deva once endured. The final confrontation is stark and personal: Deva confronts Neerij, shows him the video evidence, and, having never killed before, slits Neerij’s throat, ending the man who had treated people like “insects.”
With the money now in his possession, Deva transfers it to a Swiss account and earmarks it for Khusboo’s child, whom he and Sameera name Kuberaa—the very title of the film, a promise of hope for the downtrodden. Though the petroleum minister remains untouched, having already found another corrupt partner, Deva walks away with no desire for wealth, choosing instead a life of quiet resistance and a commitment to uplift those left behind.
