Kanguva Box Office Collection Day 3: Suriya’s fantasy flick struggles to make a mark; earns less than Rs 10 crore

Suriya’s latest fantasy flick, Kanguva, has been having a slow run ever since the film faced criticism from audiences and critics alike. Directed by Siva, the film stars Suriya, Bobby Deol, and Karthi in a cameo appearance. It revolves around a shadow cop’s quest to uncover a hidden link to an ancient betrayal. While the film has been managing to draw some footfall, its growth shows no significant improvement, especially considering its mammoth budget. On day 3, here’s how much the film has earned.

Jyotika defends Suriya’s Kanguva

Amid negative reviews, Suriya's wife and actress Jyotika defended Kanguva against early criticism and accused "multiple group propagandas" of attempting to bring down the film. In her latest Instagram post, the actress reviewed her husband's film as a 'cinema lover' and not as Suriya's wife. While she acknowledged issues with the sound effects and the first half, she praised its exceptional 3D visuals, unique execution, and bold storytelling.

The actress also criticized the media for promoting films with outdated tropes like stalking and over-the-top action while unfairly targeting ambitious projects like Kanguva. Jyotika expressed her disappointment over the lack of recognition for the film’s strengths, including its innovative women-led action sequences and emotional depth.
