Kanguva Faces Mixed Reviews and Box Office Decline

Despite a strong opening, the epic-fantasy film struggles with audience reception and earnings.

Kanguva, starring Suriya, Bobby Deol, and Disha Patani, opened on November 14 with a worldwide collection of ₹58.62 crore but faced a significant drop on its second day.
The film made ₹22 crore in India on its first day, marking Suriya's career-best opening, but the earnings fell short of expectations given its ₹350 crore budget.
Critics and audiences have given mixed reviews, praising Suriya's performance and visuals but criticizing the film's loud sound design and weak writing.
The film's sound design, particularly its loudness, has been a point of contention, with Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty addressing the criticism.
Kanguva sets up for a sequel, with a surprise cameo by Karthi, hinting at further developments in the storyline.
