After a two-year wait, Suriya returns in Kanguva, an action-fantasy adventure directed by Siruthai Siva.
Francis (Suriya), a bounty hunter in Goa, joins forces with Angela (Disha Patani) on a mission.
They meet Zeta, a mysterious child. A deep, unknown bond connects Francis and Zeta.
Suriya’s portrayal of Kanguva is intense, yet Disha Patani’s Angela feels misused and underwhelming.
Cinematography by Vetri Palaniswamy shines, capturing vivid landscapes and atmospheric nighttime scenes.
Devi Sri Prasad’s music disappoints; loud, forgettable songs struggle to elevate crucial scenes.
The Goa sequences lack depth, with poor execution making these scenes tiresome and disconnected.
Despite an intriguing storyline, overdone drama and native flavor hinder
Kanguva's
pan-India appeal.
Unusual character looks and relentless shouting detract from engaging with the film’s core themes.
With weak execution,
Kanguva
struggles to impress; a hinted sequel appears unlikely.
