Kanguva, which released in theatres today, November 14, has struggled to live up to the high expectations of movie enthusiasts and fans of lead actor Suriya. Directed by Siva, the film, despite its grand scale and fantasy action elements, has garnered negative reactions online. While Suriya’s performance was praised by some, there were others who felt the filmmaker didn’t fully tap into the actor’s potential. Viewers criticised the storyline for lacking depth, with many pointing out that the visual spectacle couldn’t compensate for a weak narrative. As a result, Kanguva has left fans disappointed. ‘Kanguva’ Press Conference: Suriya Maturely Handles the Situation As Frustrated Media Person Expresses His Concerns to Him at Promotional Event (Watch Video).
About ‘Kanguva’ Movie
Suriya plays dual roles in the film, portraying Kanguva and Francis Theodore, while the supporting cast includes Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, and Yogi Babu in pivotal roles. The synopsis of the film reads: “A tribal warrior’s fierce struggle to save his people a millennium ago is mysteriously linked to a shadow cop’s perilous quest in the present.” However, netizens have pointed out that, despite its grandeur, the film fails to fully engage its audience with its storyline. Let’s check out what netizens have said about the newly released film Kanguva. ‘Kanguva’ Release Trailer: Suriya and Bobby Deol’s Epic Fantasy Action Film Is All About ‘Betrayal’, ‘Resurrection’ and ‘Honour’ (Watch Video).
‘Kanguva’ Lacks Connection
Just watched Kanguva. Apart from Suriya's performance, it falls short. The first half lacks connection, the actress and comedian don’t add much, & the music is loud but forgettable. Cameo is ineffective, and a sequel isn’t necessary.
Overall, the director missed the mark 🌟🌟/5 pic.twitter.com/3BXyhchimB

Is ‘Kanguva’ Really A Cringe Fest?
Watched #Kanguva
Past portion gud - Present cringe fest.
Suriya as Kanguva🔥 as Francis👎
Rich making. Music dept top, esp Kanga entry song.
Script is very poor. Felt tiring, even though it's just 150mins.
Zero high moment.
2nd part build up seems very forced.
1.5/5

About Suriya’s Performance
In one line: Siva has tried to exceed his potential, but wasted a talent like Suriya.
Another furniture broken 😞
Positives:
* Suriya, Suriya and Suriya.
* Small boy portions
* DSP BGM (but sometimes it’s too noisy)
* Good 1st half
* Nice visual…

‘A Misfire’ From Director Siva
Director Siva fails to deliver a memorable experience, making Kanguva a misfire - https://t.co/XkwgNG6HVd
Below-par execution made it a disappointing film that may find it difficult to sustain at the Box Office. Too loud and over the top - https://t.co/rHFw0zQcpL

Produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, Kanguva is reportedly one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, with a budget estimated between INR 300–350 crore.
