After two long years, South Indian superstar Suriya has made his highly anticipated return to the big screen with Kanguva, an action-packed fantasy drama directed by Siva. Released on November 14, the film made a solid debut, earning an impressive Rs 22 crore on its opening day. Despite mixed reviews, the film is drawing significant foot traffic to theaters, thanks to Suriya’s loyal fan base. However, fans who are hesitant to visit the cinemas are already looking forward to the movie's OTT release.
About Kanguva: A Long-Awaited Film
Kanguva has been in the making since April 2019. However, like many other productions, the film’s progress was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After a four-year hiatus, the pre-production phase resumed in August 2022, with filming completed in January 2024. The film has reportedly been produced with a massive budget of approximately Rs 300 crore, making it one of the most expensive Tamil films in recent times.
Directed by Siva, known for his work in successful films like Vivegam (2017) and Annaatthe (2021), Kanguva stars Suriya in a dual role, bringing his usual intensity to the big screen. The film also features an ensemble cast, including Disha Patani, Bobby Deol, Natarajan Subramaniam, K. S. Ravikumar, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, and Mansoor Ali Khan. Bobby Deol plays the antagonist, Udhiran, while Disha Patani’s role has been criticized for being reduced to a glamorous appearance, with little substance in her character.
Kanguva OTT Release: When and Where to Watch
Fans eager to watch Kanguva from the comfort of their homes can expect its OTT release on Amazon Prime Video. Reports indicate that the streaming rights for the film were acquired for a whopping Rs 100 crore, making it the highest amount ever paid by any platform for a Suriya film. According to insiders, Kanguva will be available on the platform after an eight-week theatrical window, which is expected to make its OTT release date January 10, 2025, coinciding with the Sankranthi festival. However, some speculate that it could be released on January 14, 2025, during the Pongal festival. There has been no official confirmation yet from the filmmakers.

Despite the grand visuals and action-packed sequences, Kanguva has received mixed reviews. In a review from News 24, the film was praised for its stunning visuals, but criticized for its weak narrative. The reviewer noted that while Suriya’s performance in dual roles as Francis and Kanguva was commendable, the story undermined his efforts. Disha Patani’s acting was called into question, and the use of Yogi Babu, a well-loved comedian, was seen as a missed opportunity. Bobby Deol’s portrayal was also criticized, with the reviewer suggesting that he reconsider taking on such roles. Additionally, the loud background score by Rockstar DSP was pointed out as a major distraction from the impressive visuals. The review concluded that Kanguva failed to meet expectations, calling for South Indian filmmakers to focus more on solid storylines, especially when working with large budgets aimed at pan-India releases.
On its opening day, Kanguva managed to collect Rs 22 crore, marking a successful start at the box office despite the mixed reviews. According to Sacnilk, the film had an overall 37.27 percent occupancy in Tamil (2D) shows, with higher numbers in Tamil (3D) shows, which saw 49.89 percent occupancy. Major business was recorded in cities like Chennai, Coimbatore, Dindigul, and Kochi, where the film is performing well.
While Kanguva may not have lived up to all expectations, it has certainly made an impact with its grand visuals and star-studded cast. Suriya’s performance continues to earn appreciation, and the loyal fanbase will likely ensure the film’s success at the box office. As the film makes its way to OTT platforms in the coming months, it will be interesting to see how audiences react to it in a more relaxed viewing setting.
