Tamil star Suriya’s big pan-India project has finally hit the big screen. Surya, who is returning to the big screen after two and a half years, this time with his film he will enter the pan-India race in which filmmakers from the South industries are trying to participate. In such a situation, the best thing about ‘Kanguva’ is that people recognize Suriya outside the Tamil industry too, especially in Hindi.
The makers of ‘Kanguva’ have also abandoned the allure of the film’s OTT release in a few weeks so that their film can get a wide release in the national multiplex chains of North India. In such a situation, along with the original Tamil version, ‘Kanguva’ is expected to do well in the Telugu and Hindi versions as well. Let’s say how much Surya’s film with director Shiva can earn on the first day.
Early booking is powerful
From the first look of ‘Kanguwa’ to the launch trailer, the film looks strong in every promotional material. Suriya may be a Tamil star, but he is considered one of the most powerful actors in India and that is why he has fans everywhere. In such a situation, ‘Kanguwa’ has received a strong response from the fans due to the previous reservation.
According to Sacknilk, the pre-booking of the Tamil and Telugu versions has received a great response. The booking of the movie was opened late, but in the first 24 hours of its release, the tickets of the movie were booked very quickly. In Tamil, including 2D and 3D versions, the advance gross collection of the film is nearly 7 crores. While in Telugu this figure is more than 2 crores.
The total advance gross booking of the film, including block seats, is over Rs 17 crore. In this Tamil-Telugu version, Surya’s stardom will also benefit the film and the first day craze will definitely be explosive.
From this, it can be estimated that the film can open up to Rs 60 crore at the box office on the first day. There was a chance that this estimate could increase slightly further based on word of mouth. But initial reviews call the film weak, which will affect its popularity.
The atmosphere of ‘Kanguva’ is weak in Hindi
The gross advance that Surya’s film has collected from the booking of the Hindi version is a little less than Rs 1 crore. Surya’s Hindi connection and the Bobby Deol factor also don’t seem to be doing much good.
However, the Hindi viewership pattern has been the same this year. Here the public decides whether or not to buy tickets based on the atmosphere that is felt at the first screenings of the films. If we look at the advance booking, the initial collection of ‘Kanguwa’ in Hindi is expected to be less than Rs 4 crore.
