Highlights
- Suriya stellar performance as Kanguva and Francis received positive feedback from the audience.
- The news of Suriya’s return to the lead role after 2 years break has hyped the film to another level.
The most-awaited film of the year Kanguva was finally screened in theatres on November 14, 2024 with great expectations. Soon after the film’s FDFS (First Day First Show) the fans filled the social media with positive reviews, however, some felt that script and screenplay were a huge let down. Kanguva had a good potential but it failed to impress the audience due to its sloppy execution. But there are few blocks here and there that took the viewers by suprise like Karthi‘s dual role in the modern era and in vikings period. Overall the story, screenplay, and songs are average but action sequences, VFX, and interval scenes are ultimate.
Kanguva is an another flop in director by Siva’s failure streak following Annaatthe, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Bholaa Shankar. Suriya and Bobby Deol’s exceptional acting skills combined with composer DSP’s music saved the film’s reputation, but it still scored low in the first day collection at the box office compared to its pre-release expectations. The story and screenplay’s connectivity in the first half is good but it totally went nuts after a certain point.
