Soon after the post, fans thronged to the comment section and complaint about not being able to book tickets in Tamil Nadu. They even asked the multiplex chain to take down the screening if not being able to stream it in Tamil Nadu. One of the users echoed similar sentiments and wrote, "Where is Kerala? What about us?" while another wrote, "Is it available for Chennai tomorrow???"

A third user called the multiplex chain 'biased' and wrote, "I called Pvr cinemas and asked for COIMBATORE they said that it’s not screening in COIMBATORE how can they do this to us. ALL ARMIES DESERVE TO WATCH THE MOVIE." Another follower of the band wrote, "Ok so ARMYS from TN?? I spoke to the customer care, they said IT WILL be updated today evening, they said it’s only in selected cities, they said if it’s updated today it’s telecasting, else NO." 

Meanwhile, the price range of the tickets will vary between Rs 1000-2000 while there will only be two show timings available 2:15 pm and 6:15 pm (IST).
