Globally, Kanguva amassed ₹127.64 crore within its first three days, as per an official statement from Studio Green, one of the film’s producers. Analysts predict that the film is likely to surpass the ₹150 crore mark in the coming days, bolstered by the strong momentum overseas.
A Spectacle of Grandeur
Shot across seven countries, Kanguva is a visual extravaganza that aims to rival the grandeur of recent blockbusters like Pushpa and Singham. The film stars Suriya in a lead role, alongside Disha Patani and Bobby Deol. The ensemble cast also includes Jagapathi Babu, Natarajan Subramaniam, Yogi Babu, and KS Ravikumar, among others.
Production Journey
Initially announced in 2019, Kanguva faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was revived in 2022. The film’s technical brilliance is helmed by cinematographer Vetri Palanisamy and editor Nishadh Yusuf, with a gripping score by Devi Sri Prasad.
Future Outlook
Released on November 14, Kanguva is aiming to solidify its place as a blockbuster. While its domestic performance has been steady, its global earnings are a testament to Suriya’s massive fan base. Whether it can sustain its momentum in the weeks ahead remains to be seen.
