‘Kubera’ Triggers Divide Talk Among Audiences – Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
Sekhar Kammula’s much-anticipated socio-fantasy drama Kubera, starring has finally hit the screens. While the film opened to packed houses and solid advance bookings, the public response post-release has sparked a clear divide talk across audiences and critics.
On one hand, a section of moviegoers is lauding the film’s unique concept, soulful storytelling, and visual grandeur. They’re especially praising Dhanush’s intense performance and Sekhar Kammula’s bold attempt at breaking his usual realistic storytelling mold to enter a fantasy-drama zone. Nagarjuna’s dignified presence and Rashmika’s emotional arc are also being widely appreciated.
However, on the other side, some viewers feel the film lags in pace, especially in the second half. Critics argue that while the concept is novel, the execution feels uneven with philosophical themes overwhelming the emotional payoff. For fans of mass entertainment, the lack of commercial highs like high-octane fights or punch dialogues has been a point of disappointment.
Music by Devi Sri Prasad is receiving mixed feedback too — some tracks are loved for their spiritual vibe, while others are seen as underwhelming for a film of this scale.
Twitter Buzz:
Social media has turned into a battleground of opinions. Hashtags like #KuberaHit and #KuberaDisappointment are trending simultaneously, reflecting the split verdict. Some fans have declared it a cult classic in the making, while others feel it’s Sekhar Kammula’s weakest film till date.
Final Word:
Kubera is undoubtedly a brave attempt, trying to blend social commentary with fantasy metaphors. But its reception proves that such experimental storytelling might not appeal to all segments of the audience. Whether the film will sustain at the box office purely depends on how word of mouth settles over the weekend.
