Suriya’s ‘Kanguva’ Faces Sharp Drop in Box Office Collections

Suriya’s ‘Kanguva’ Faces Sharp Drop in Box Office Collections

Suriya’s epic-fantasy film Kanguva has witnessed a significant decline in box office collections after an impressive opening. Directed by Siva and produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, the film was made on a massive budget of over ₹350 crore. On its opening day, the film grossed ₹28 crore from India and ₹12 crore from overseas, including ₹4 crore from Kerala and ₹12 crore from Tamil Nadu. The global first-day total stood at ₹40 crore.

However, the second day saw a sharp fall, with collections dropping to ₹13 crore, as per early estimates. This drastic decline has raised concerns about the movie’s ability to recover its enormous production cost.

Kanguva features Suriya in dual roles: a contemporary, stylish character and a fierce warrior set 1,500 years ago. Bobby Deol plays a powerful antagonist, with Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramaniam, Yogi Babu, and others in pivotal roles. Despite its grand scale, stunning visuals, and action-packed narrative, the film has received a mixed response from audiences and critics.

With its current trajectory, Kanguva faces an uphill battle at the box office. Its performance in the coming days will be crucial for its overall success.

Barroz: Mohanlal’s Challenging Directorial Debut Could Be His Last, Reveals Santosh Sivan

Cinematographer Santosh Sivan, known for his award-winning visual expertise, has hinted that Mohanlal may not direct another movie following his ambitious 3D fantasy film Barroz. As the film gears up for a December 2024 release, Santhosh Sivan shared the unique challenges and ambitious vision behind this project in an exclusive interview with OttPlay, marking Mohanlal’s first attempt at directing.

In the interview, Santhosh Sivan described Barroz as a “tricky film” that caters to children and steps away from the usual “mass” appeal. The story incorporates a blend of African, Spanish, and Malayalam actors, creating a multilingual narrative that may require subtitles for Indian audiences. Despite its non-traditional structure, Santhosh Sivan believes the movie will be “fulfilling” with fantasy elements to captivate younger audiences.

Santhosh Sivan praised Mohanlal’s organic directing style, noting how he approached the film from the heart without relying on conventional shot references. This spontaneity, however, comes with significant challenges, including the complexities of 3D and IMAX cinematography. Despite Mohanlal’s unique approach, Santhosh Sivan suggests that Barroz may be the superstar’s last directorial venture, as he seems disinclined to take on such a demanding role again.
