Kanguva Box Office Collection Day 2: After a bumper opening, the Tamil epic-fantasy film Kanguva, starring Suriya has witnessed a massive drop in collection. Directed by Siva and produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, the movie minted just ₹9 crore on Day 2, early estimates by Sacnilk.com shows.
With this, the total collection of two days now stands at ₹33 crores net in India. With an estimated budget of over ₹350 crore, it remains uncertain whether the film will recover its costs, given the declining box office numbers.
Yesterday, Studio Green posted on their official social media handle that Kanguva earned ₹58.62 crore gross on its opening day at the global box office Taking to Instagram, it wrote, “Like a wild storm in the box offices worldwide, lauded by all, our #Kanguva collects over 58.62 Crores. Thank you to all the Anbaana Fans, Cinema Lovers and Audiences who made this happen. #KanguvaRunningSuccessfully.”
In Kanguva, Suriya plays dual roles, portraying both a modern, stylish character and a fierce, warrior-like figure from the past. Bobby Deol stars as the intense antagonist. The film features sequences set 1,500 years ago, blending action and historical elements. Alongside Suriya and Bobby, the cast also includes Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramaniam, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, and Ananda.
Despite the stellar star cast, the film moslty received lukewarm response from public. User said that Kanguva is a visually impressive action film that lacks the emotional depth and compelling villain. People did laud Suriya's performance in the film.
Directors are somehow able to convince him to essay double-role characters in films, including "Perazhagan", "Vel", "Vaaranam Aayiram", "7aum Arivu" as well as "24", in which he played a triple role. “I try my best to shy away from double roles. But coincidentally I have done more than six-seven films (with double roles) and one triple role in '24'. I had many arguments with my director that it doesn't connect…,” he told PTI.
