Kanguva’s Box Office Success Marred by Sound Quality Critique from Resul Pookutty

Released with high expectations, Suriya’s pan-Indian film Kanguva, directed by Siruthai Siva and co-starring Disha Patani, has sparked mixed reactions among fans, critics, and audiences. While the film is on track to break Suriya’s opening-day box office records, an unexpected criticism has emerged regarding sound quality, particularly the high volume levels in theaters.

The discussion gained traction after Academy Award-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty addressed the issue on Instagram. He shared a clip sent by a re-recording mixer and voiced his concerns:

“A friend of mine, a re-recording mixer, sent me this clip… It is disheartening to see a review about sound in our popular films like this. Our craft and artistry caught up in the loudness war… who is to blame?! The sound guy?! Or the innumerable fixes that come at the last moment to satiate all insecurities. High time our fraternity put its foot down and say things loud and clear. No film will have repeat value if the audience walks out with a headache!”

It remains to be seen if the Kanguva team will adjust the sound levels in response to this feedback. As the film continues its box office run, an official report confirming its record-breaking opening day is expected soon. Stay tuned for further updates.
