Kanguva Twitter Review: Netizens call Suriya’s fantasy action film a ‘one-man show’ but...

The long-awaited day has finally arrived! Suriya’s much-anticipated fantasy flick Kanguva, after several roadblocks, has finally hit the big screens. Directed by Siva, the film stars Suriya, Bobby Deol, and Disha Patani in key roles. Set across two timelines, the film features Suriya in dual roles, while a popular actor makes a special appearance (spoilers ahead!). Here’s what the FDFS (First Day First Show) audiences had to say about Suriya's visual spectacle:

Although netizens praised the actor for his exceptional performance, many users found the story underwhelming and criticized the lag in the screenplay. Another user commented, “Despite #Suriya’s energy and intense action sequences, #Kanguva stumbles with a lackluster storyline and uneven pacing. Loud dialogues and flat storytelling drag it down, and #BobbyDeol’s role feels underwhelming.”

Appreciating Suriya’s dedication, another user wrote, “Suriya’s efforts are priceless… Well-toned body, Kanguva's body language & expressions, fight sequences, dialogue delivery, stylish Francis makeover, Yolo dance—thumbs up!”

Summing up the mixed reception, another user shared, “#Kanguva is a below-par fantasy action film that had a story with good potential but was executed in a clumsy way. Suriya does well in his role, and his efforts should be appreciated, but it’s hard to save a script like this with just a performance.”

KANGUVA delivers stunning visuals and strong production values. Suriya excels in the period portions, though other characters lack depth . The historical scenes stand out, but the narration could have been sharper. Overall, an average film.
