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:

Kanguva Twitter Review

Many netizens were impressed by the visual grandeur presented by the makers and praised Suriya for delivering his career-best performance. Calling it a "one-man show," one user wrote:

“#Kanguva - It's completely a one-man show from #Suriya 💥🤝 He holds the film with his presence as Kanguva. ⭐ One of the best performers we have!”

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.”

Overall, the film has been praised for Suriya’s performance and its visual effects, though it received mixed reviews for its narrative and screenplay. With an extraordinary turnout at theaters, the film is expected to mint impressive numbers on its opening day.

Kanguva OTT deal

The Suriya starrer has been granted an eight-week theatrical run, after which the film will be available on an OTT platform. As announced earlier, Amazon Prime has purchased the digital rights, and the movie is expected to release on the OTT platform by the end of December or the first week of January.
