1 year of Siva-Suriya’s Kanguva: A lesson in misguided spectacle | Tamil News

1 year of Siva-Suriya’s Kanguva: A lesson in misguided spectacle | Tamil News

The Suriya-starrer Kanguva, director Siva’s unexpected detour into period fantasy disguised as a reincarnation melodrama, turns one year old today. What once arrived with the confidence of an industry-reshaping epic now reads as a case of misplaced ambition, a film so enamored with the scope of its ideas that it forgot to shape them into a compelling narrative. Tamil cinema wasn’t merely waiting for Kanguva to overturn entrenched biases against Siva, long dismissed for his fondness for campy melodrama and B-movie sensibilities. It was also counting on the film to serve as a timely vehicle for Suriya, a risk-taking superstar poised for a mid-career reinvention. In theory, Kanguva had all the makings of a national spectacle: scale, mythic imagination, a bankable star, and a director hungry for redemption. But the film fell short on every front. For all its visual splendor and committed production design, the fundamentals of storytelling are conspicuously absent. What remains is a cautionary tale about aiming too high without the necessary grounding, a washed-out, derivative spectacle that mistakes physical scale for …

Retro vs Kanguva Tamil Nadu Final Box Office Comparison: Which movie performs better?

Retro vs Kanguva Tamil Nadu Final Box Office Comparison: Which movie performs better?

Suriya’s latest outing Retro turned out to be a major disappointment at the box office. Here’s comparing the box office collections of Retro and his previous release Kanguva in Tamil Nadu.  Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro kicked off with Rs 14 crore on its opening day and stormed over Rs 34.50 crore in its 4-day opening weekend. While on the other hand, Kanguva, helmed by Siva Siruthai, had taken a start of Rs 11.50 crore in Tamil Nadu and could collect just Rs 24 crore in its opening weekend of 4 days.  The romantic action drama co-starring Pooja Hegde met with mixed word-of-mouth while the historical drama recorded a disastrous response among the fans and the critics. Both movies crumbled on their second day itself. And by the end of their opening weekend, they started crawling at the box office.  Retro wrapped its theatrical journey at just Rs 48.50 crore, which is better than Kanguva‘s final cume of mere Rs 31 crore in Tamil Nadu. While the Karthik Subbaraj film ended up being a flop, …
