Kanguva Struggles at Box Office: Bobby Deol’s Role Fails to Impress Hindi Audiences

The much-awaited Kanguva, starring Suriya and Bobby Deol, hit theaters on November 14. With considerable pre-release buzz, the film was expected to rake in over ₹40 crore on its opening day. However, it fell short, managing only ₹24 crore on Day 1. While fans and makers pinned their hopes on weekend collections, the Day 2 numbers have further dampened expectations.

Disappointing Day 2 Box Office Figures

On its second day, Kanguva collected a modest ₹9 crore, bringing its total to ₹33 crore in two days. This significant dip has raised concerns for the makers, who were banking on strong word-of-mouth to boost weekend numbers.

Fans and critics have taken to social media to share mixed reactions about the film. While Suriya’s performance has been praised, Bobby Deol’s portrayal of the villain has sparked debate.

In Kanguva, Bobby Deol takes on a menacing role with more screen time than his recent hit Animal. While his intense look and fearsome demeanor were meant to leave a lasting impression, his dialogue delivery in the Hindi-dubbed version has left audiences unimpressed.

Viewers have criticized the Hindi dubbing, with many pointing out that Bobby’s dialogues lack impact and feel disconnected. Some have attributed this to poor translation of the original script into Hindi, while others blame the dubbing quality.

One viewer shared, “Bobby’s screen presence as the villain is intimidating, but the dialogues take away the thrill. The dubbing feels forced and out of place.”

Despite its flaws, Kanguva has a few highlights:

  • Suriya’s Performance: The actor’s portrayal of the protagonist has received widespread acclaim, adding depth to the story.
  • Visuals and Action Sequences: The film’s cinematography and high-octane action scenes have been appreciated, especially in the Tamil version.
  • Bobby’s Fearsome Look: Bobby’s appearance and intense expressions managed to create an aura of fear, though the impact was diminished by weak dubbing.

Can ‘Kanguva’ Recover Over the Weekend?

With disappointing Day 2 collections and mixed reviews, the pressure is on Kanguva to perform well over the weekend. The makers will be hoping for better audience turnout, particularly in regional markets where the original version seems to have been better received.

As fans wait to see if the film can recover its momentum, Kanguva serves as a reminder of the importance of quality dubbing in reaching wider audiences.
