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 heartsAmid 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.
