Shekar Kammula’s latest film Kubera is roaring at the box office, drawing praise for its bold direction and storytelling flair. While many netizens are applauding Kammula’s vision—some even pointing out possible political undertones aimed at the BJP government—others have raised eyebrows over the film’s logic-defying moments. One such citizen’s critique has gone viral, sparking debate across social media platforms.
Cinema, as they say, is a “suspension of disbelief”—a space where the implausible must be made to feel possible. However, the netizen’s pointed questions challenge this very magic, questioning the coherence behind the film’s dramatic beats:
-
A business tycoon like ‘Neeraj’ would offer bribes worth lakhs of crores to access oil in the Bay of Bengal? Who is this Neeraj ?
-
Can the downfall of the country’s biggest industrialist really begin with a mere encounter with a beggar? The transformation seems poetic—but is it practical?
-
Dhanush’s character, who lacks even basic banking knowledge, is shown dumping truckloads of cash in front of the antagonist’s house. How and why would such an act even be possible?
These questions have triggered a wave of critical engagement with Kubera, with viewers now split between those swept away by its idealistic charm and others demanding stronger narrative logic.
