The 10-day premium pricing strategy has not gone down well with moviegoers. Many fans took to social media to express their discontent, calling the price hike unjust and exploitative.
One commented, "Producer is killing his own film. Asian sunil sir said Kuberaa ticket prices will be nominal, but in A.P., it's ₹230 for single screens and ₹265 for multiplexes—for a film with no Tier 1 star and not an event movie. OTT window is just 28 days (said by the producer).

One Twitter user wrote, "#Kuberaa Vizag Bookings Started Balcony-Rs 175 Non-Premium-Rs100 30 hike in balcony." Another one wrote, "Everyone misunderstood #Kuberaa's AP ticket hike GO. It clearly states that prices can be increased by Rs 75/-, but it's entirely up to the distributor whether they actually increase it or not.

Twitter buzz: Dhanush wins hearts
Amid the pricing uproar, early reviews of Kuberaa are pouring in on Twitter, and they're overwhelmingly positive.
Fans are especially praising Dhanush for what many call a 'career-defining' performance. Comments like 'Take a bow thalaivaa' and '@dhanushkraja Blockbuster performance' are trending, with many users calling the film a 'must-watch' and 'best Telugu film of 2025.'
While the film's first half and performances — particularly by Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna — are being widely lauded, the climax has received mixed reactions. One Twitter user pointed out, 'Barring the last 10 minutes, the second half is terrific. It's a gripping ride, but the ending misfires.' Despite that, the film's emotional intensity and narrative power seem to have struck a chord with audiences.
With stellar performances and strong word-of-mouth support, 'Kuberaa' might weather the ticket price controversy — but the impact of the hike on footfall remains to be seen.

Actress Kajol isn't nervous about the release of her next, as much as she was while shooting for it. 'It was nerve wracking to actually shoot it, because it's a genre that is not one of my favorites. I'm braver off screen than I am while watching a movie,' she tells Mumbai Mirror. The actress plays a mother in her next a horror flick– Maa . Ask her if she drew inspiration from her real life experience while playing a mother on screen, and she replies, 'It happens inadvertently. I've been playing a mother for the last 22 years, day in and day out. It's not something that you can turn off. All mothers have this superpower within them that when they become mothers, there is this amazing thing that comes over you – whether you call it obsession, or whatever you may call it, otherworldly power within you. Mothers are super protective of their children and always have been. They're called mama bears because you've seen a mama and she's one real dangerous thing in action. We've pretty much taken that basic instinct and worked through it and made a film over it.' For Kajol the Mama Bear side of hers has come out often. 'It comes out.

Ask her how she manages the power dynamics on the set, and she replies, 'Tomorrow, if I really want to do something, nobody's going to stop me if I really believe and I'm convinced that this is the right thing for me to do. Nobody is really going to turn around and tell me that, listen, no, we can't. As an actor, I do believe that the director is the captain of the ship.'
