Three Big Films— Almost Same, But Not Same

Three Telugu films—Lucky Bhaskar, Matka, and Kubera—have garnered attention for their shared themes and plot elements.

While they may not be identical, they all revolve around the concepts of money, stealing money, and black money, raising questions about the extent to which they borrow from each other.

Dulquer Salman’s “Lucky Bhaskar” directed by Venky Atluri, follows the story of a young bank employee who becomes a millionaire overnight after doing the unthinkable at his bank.

Varun Tej’s “Matka”, directed by Karuna Kumar delves into the world of black money and corruption. And both these films are set in the vintage era only.

“Kubera” directed by Sekhar Kammula, tells the story of a man who becomes obsessed with accumulating wealth and power, leading him to delve deeper into the world of black money.

The similarities between these films are undeniable, but it is ultimately up to the audience to decide whether they are inspired by each other or if they are simply exploring similar themes in different ways.

The themes of money, stealing money, and black money are universal and can be explored in various ways. Despite their similarities, hope each film brings its own unique perspective to the table, making them distinct from one another.
