Kanguva received a lukewarm response from critics and audiences. It was criticized for its disorganized script and high-decibel audio issues. After widespread criticism, the producers cut 12 minutes of footage and fixed the audio problems.
The fantasy action drama hit the screens on November 14 amid massive anticipation. After the film received mixed reviews, Suriya’s actor-wife Jyothika defended the film, saying that the film has flaws but is still ‘a spectacle in cinema’.
Here is his note:
Directed by Siva, Kanguva is based on two different timelines and features Suriya in two roles as Kanguva and Theodore Francis. The film starred Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramaniam, Karunas and many others in important roles.
According to reports, Kanguva is jointly produced by Studio Green and UV Creations on a massive budget of Rs 350 crore.
