Suriya's 'Kanguva' Debuts; A Box Office Conundrum Amidst Mixed Reviews and Piracy Challenges
Suriya’s latest film, Kanguva, debuted on November 14, 2024, and has generated considerable buzz at the box office despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Following its release, Kanguva is projected to earn between ₹60 to ₹65 crore globally on its opening day, with pre-sales contributing around ₹25 crore to that figure. In India, the film reportedly earned approximately ₹17 crore, primarily from its Tamil version.
Fans have praised the film for its visuals, action sequences, and Suriya’s performance, which has sparked excitement and even viewing parties. However, the Hindi version of the film opened to a more modest net of ₹3.35 crore, despite being touted as one of the biggest openings for a Kollywood film post-COVID in the Hindi market.
Critics have highlighted significant drawbacks in the film’s narrative, describing Kanguva as a missed opportunity in terms of storytelling. The film’s director, Siva, has faced criticism for a screenplay that fails to fully engage audiences, leading to comments about the lack of emotional depth and connection in the storyline.
Additionally, Kanguva fell victim to piracy soon after its release, with HD versions reportedly appearing on various piracy websites. The film’s producers issued a warning against sharing pirated content on social media.
The new Tamil historical action film boasts high production values, having been made on a budget of approximately ₹350 crore. Nonetheless, its future at the box office may be affected by negative word-of-mouth and competition from other releases, as the ongoing fan rivalry between Suriya and Thalapathy Vijay’s followers adds to the film’s challenges.
The makers of Kanguva have indicated a potential OTT release on Amazon Prime eight weeks post-theatrical debut, with ongoing speculation about whether the film can maintain ticket sales long enough to meet that timeline amidst recent criticisms.
