Kuberan(2000)

Kuberan is a family drama from director Rama Narayanan that follows a struggling tourist guide in Kodaikanal who shoulders the financial burden of supporting his family. Karthik plays the titular character, a man defined by quiet sacrifice for those closest to him. The film explores themes of duty and hardship as Kuberan navigates the challenges of being his household's sole earner. While Narayanan returns to the family drama genre he knows, the film struggles across its narrative and technical elements. Despite its modest execution, Kuberan offers a portrait of everyday resilience and the personal costs of providing for loved ones.
