Kanguva Review :-

Kanguva is unapologetically a Suriya showcase, centered entirely around his portrayal of the title character, a fierce and courageous warrior inspired by Viking lore, complete with body markings reminiscent of Killmonger. Unfortunately, despite Suriya’s magnetic performance, the film struggles to deliver anything of substance. Suriya is brilliant in the role, but sadly, the material does him no justice.

The plot feels like a patchwork of elements borrowed from countless historical epics, mythology, and fictional fantasies, all blended together with a resurrection theme that attempts to link the ancient and modern worlds. This brings us to the present day in 2024, where Suriya plays a Goa-based character, looking as striking as ever, but unfortunately, much like his love interest Disha Patani, he doesn’t have much to do in what is only the first part of Siva’s story. Patani, as Angela, a bounty hunter, serves little purpose beyond wearing revealing outfits and providing the obligatory bikini shot, contributing little to the narrative.

Kanguva is reportedly one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, but the real question is whether director Siva’s grand vision justifies such lavish spending. Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding no. The film feels like a monumental waste of resources, particularly when you see scenes like Kanguva battling a massive CGI crocodile—an utterly pointless spectacle. Even Bobby Deol’s much-hyped appearance as Uthiran, the leader of the Athira tribe, amounts to little more than elaborate cosplay, with his rivalry with Kanguva falling flat.

Siva’s story and screenplay are decidedly underwhelming, to the point where even close-ups of Kanguva’s bulging biceps and chiselled abs can’t salvage the film. The real issue lies in the lack of conviction behind Kanguva’s motivation to save Poruva. The boy’s father betrayed the tribe, selling them to the Romans for two gold coins per person—hardly the noble cause one would expect Kanguva to risk everything for. And to top it off, Poruva himself doesn’t even like Kanguva, so it’s unclear why he would go to such extremes for a boy who doesn’t appreciate it. The film never quite justifies this central conflict, leaving the audience scratching their heads.

Kanguva Trailor :-

Part 1 of Kanguva centers on the protagonist’s battle to protect his people, but the fight is far from over. The film ends by introducing a new foe, setting the stage for a brutal confrontation—yet Kanguva hasn’t even crossed paths with the Romans yet. Visually, the film is grand in scope, with the CGI being serviceable, though much of it feels unnecessary. The visuals are undeniably appealing, largely due to Suriya’s commanding presence on screen. However, Devi Sri Prasad’s score falls flat, offering little to elevate the emotional intensity or grandeur of the scenes.

Final Thought

Suriya fully embodies the character of Kanguva with sincerity and dedication, delivering his best performance. However, his effort alone isn’t enough to save a film that falters on nearly every other front.
