There were a lot of rumors about South Star Surya’s first pan-India release ‘Kanguva’. The audience response to the film’s trailer, Surya’s look and a period story was very strong. Also, having Bobby Deol in the villain’s role was also a big supporting factor for ‘Kanguva’.
Due to this environment, it was speculated that Suriya’s film will be a big hit for the Tamil industry across India. But the way the movie started from day one was very disappointing. The reviews of ‘Kanguva’ were very negative and due to the poor script the film failed to impress the audience. That’s why word of mouth for the film was also very negative. The effect of this has been that the film has already failed at the weekend box office.
‘Kanguwa’ cooled off during first weekend
Suriya’s film released at the box office on Thursday and on the first day it earned a net opening of Rs 24 crore. The Hindi version’s share in this was 3.5 crores. This release was quite lackluster because considering the advance booking and audience mood, it seemed like the film could earn up to Rs 50 crore on the first day.
Negative word of mouth started promoting the film from the second day. On Friday and Saturday the film collected only Rs 9.5 crore. Even on Sunday he couldn’t do great wonders with the film and it got a very modest jump. According to Sacknilk, ‘Kanguwa’ is estimated to have collected Rs 10.5 million on the fourth day.
Bad condition of the movie also in Hindi.
A good performance was expected from ‘Kanguva’ in Hindi, but after the first screening, the film started disappointing the audience. After earning Rs 3.5 crore on the first day in Hindi, the film’s total Hindi collection on Friday and Saturday remained less than Rs 5 crore. On Sunday, the collection of ‘Kanguva’ in Hindi is expected to touch Rs 3 crore again.
That means the collection of ‘Kanguva’ in Hindi has reached only 10-11 crores in 4 days. While the film also stars Bobby Deol who is a very popular name among the Hindi audience. Reports say that the makers have managed to get a good screening of this Hindi film. ‘Kanguva’ is expected to get between 2,500 and 3,000 screens in North India.
The total box office collection of ‘Kanguwa’ in 4 days has not even reached Rs 55 million. While the budget of the film is said to be over Rs 350 crore. In such a situation, ‘Kanguva’ seems to be on its way to becoming a big flop on Surya’s account.
