Day 1 excitement: Fans pour love into theatres!
Surya fans are excited about the film. Kanguva was already creating a buzz even before its release. Suriya’s comeback after a long break of two years and Siva’s directorial comeback with a big star cast – both of these things had sent the expectations of the fans sky high. And this excitement was clearly visible in the theatres as well.
Box Office Collection: Rs 16.67 crore blast
On the first day, Kanguva grossed Rs 16.67 crore across all languages. Releasing in eight languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, English, French and Spanish, the film has received a great response in India as well as internationally. Apart from Suriya’s fans, action and drama lovers also flocked to the theatres to watch the film.
Kanguva Review: Action, Emotion and Mixed Reviews
Our in-house critic gave Kanguva 3/5 stars. He praised Suriya’s strong screen presence and Bobby Deol’s intense performance, which brings a different twist to the story. The story of the film oscillates between two time frames, the present and the past, which makes it more interesting.
However, people have mixed opinions about some parts of the film. A fan on social media joked, “It has action, it has drama, but it also has a lot of running!” But its grand scale and unique story have impressed most viewers, especially those who were ready to immerse themselves in the world of Kanguva.
Producer’s big expectations: Target of Rs 200 crore
Producer KE Gnanavel has set big targets for the film, which includes a box office collection of Rs 200 crore. Looking at the first day collections, this target does not seem too far away, although it will be known only in the coming weeks. If the film holds up well this weekend and the word of mouth works, Kanguva could prove to be a horse for the long race.
Weekend test: Will the film be able to hold its own?
After the success of the first day, all eyes are now on the weekend box office collection. Industry experts are expecting that if the film goes ahead with good word of mouth publicity, it can do well at the box office.
And everyone knows that the real test for films is the weekend. If the audience responds positively to the film, Kanguva can have a good run at the box office. However, there are many big films releasing in the coming weeks which can grab the attention of the audience.
Conclusion: Will Kanguva become a blockbuster?
Kanguva has started well with good collections on the first day itself. The combination of action, drama and big stars is enough to make it a hit. Now it remains to be seen whether this film is able to touch the target of 200 crores or not. For now, the audience is enjoying Kanguva on the big screen.
So if you also want to watch a film full of great action and drama, then Kanguva can prove to be a good option for you.
