ETimes rated ‘Kanguva’ with a solid 2.5 out of 5 stars and our review reads, “Suriya impresses in a period fantasy that’s confused and convoluted. Interestingly, although there is an overdose of information, you can see how the makers have carefully crafted this past world, which has a personality and culture of its own. For instance, each village has its own dance traditions, punishment plans, etc. Likewise, Kanguva’s village has a ritual of not using weapons while praying before a big war. There is also a focus on the kind of weapons they use – like a double-edged sharp stick. However, all of these are shown in glimpses. Even the villain (Bobby Deol), who rules the enemy village has four sons – but we never get the time to know or understand them. Add to this the sequences set in the present timeline, which are filled with bland jokes and outdated writing – there is so much you wish the makers had avoided. And this is why you wish the film had focused only on one timeline, letting the frames and the characters breathe a little more. Its ambitions go unnoticed in its mess of convoluted and confused writing choices.”
On the other hand, Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Amaran’ is all set to cross Rs 200 crores from India in a few days.
