In his illustrious career, director Sekhar Kammula openly admits that if there is one film he regrets, it is the Telugu remake of Kahaani. The project diverged from his signature style and did not resonate well with his usual audience.
Now, with the release of the teaser for his next film, Kubera, there is a buzz on social media, though opinions are divided. While the teaser is technically brilliant and visually captivating, many feel it reflects a style quite different from what they expect from Sekhar Kammula.
Kubera introduces audiences to a mysterious world, cleverly hiding the core story elements, conflict, and hook points. The teaser takes viewers through glimpses of a businessman, a government official, and a beggar in Mumbai, yet the actual plot remains unclear. This subtle storytelling approach has both intrigued and confused viewers.
Some critics feel the teaser is innovative and shows Sekhar Kammula experimenting with new narrative techniques, but others believe it misses the mark and lacks the punch that grabs attention instantly. There is a sentiment that audiences may not yet be ready for this fresh version of the director’s style.
Despite the mixed reactions, it is still too early to judge Kubera. Fans hope that Sekhar Kammula will soon reveal his full vision, possibly surprising everyone with a unique cinematic experience. Only time will tell if this film marks a new chapter in his creative journey.
