Kanguva

Kanguva is the most hyped movie of the yea plus Surya returns to big screens after many years. Though lot of expectations the movie did not live up to the hype.

The major positive of the movie was the visuals. Never seen a Tamil movie with such fantastic visuals. Surya's acting was good. Kanguva introduction created goosebumps and the episode that adds to his into was well made.

The writing is the big let down as the main concept of the movie was reincarnation. Lot of movies has been done & dusted with this concept like magadhera, 7am arivu, Anegan & Shyam singha Roy etc. The first 20 minutes tested our patience and the comedy sequences din't worked out. There were lot of lengthy fight sequences in the movie which adds no excitement to the story. The director should have focused on periodic movie like (300, Bahubali, PS etc) but tried to blend present & past which was a very bad idea. The emotional parts also dint worked out as the lead did not do anything wrong to have the guilty and ask for forgiveness from his adopted kid. The Romans who planned to capture the 5 islands disappeared all of a sudden. The editing was very bad as there was no connection between each episode. The lead character tribe goes to forest and encounters a fight and same thing continues again for another fight which feels repetitive. DSP music in few places was good and some scenes were let down. The climax fight with 1 vs 500 was unconvincing. Too much of sentimental stuffs in a periodic action movie looks cringe. Siva should start collaborating with writers for upcoming movies and focus only on direction which he does well.

Once watchable for the visuals and Surya's performance.

The image of the ideal actor Suriya is the award winner actor and the movie Kangua does not have any proper script.looks like a typical thriller and adventurous serial. The worst movie i saw till date. Exitement went wrong.waste of money ,time ,and hope.suggesting everyone to not to see this movie.and save your valuable time.always great actor Suriya but don't work with shiva sir.concept of the movie is not clear.also not having proper sequence.everytime past and present and again past again present it seems like a serials.hope so the team of the movie can understand the feelings of the common fan of Suriya and take it as a suggestion in a good way.good luck next time for the part 2 if coming....

It was a mind blowing movie experience watching Kanguva FDFS after first few mins of boring scenes. Suriya once again has proved his worth in Indian Cinema by one of the finest acting performances. Director Siva has come back strongly after the disaster of Annathe. He has proved that there is another director in the industry who can give this kind of mammoth film which can rock the film world. Excellent Art work and Cinematography adds more value to this. Music is one of the strongest pillar for the film, which carries it well...As usual, Disha Patani has no role in this film like Kalki...Over all its worth watching.

Positives: 1. Stellar Performance: Surya's acting is truly exceptional. His nuanced expressions, especially his piercing gaze into the camera, are captivating.

2. Powerful Music: While not every DSP score hits the mark, the ones that do are absolute bangers.

3. Visual Brilliance: The cinematography, particularly in the flashback scenes and Surya's close-ups, is stunningly clear and concise.

4. Impressive Production Design: The film boasts breathtaking locations and impressive CGI, with minor flaws that are easily overlooked.

5. Memorable Moments: There are 4-5 scenes that showcase Surya's acting prowess and leave a lasting impact.

Negatives: 1. Unoriginal Storyline: The plot, revolving around reincarnation, feels somewhat familiar and has been explored in numerous films.

2. Abrupt Editing: Some scenes abruptly cut to the next, interrupting the flow and leaving the audience wanting more.

3. Climax Disruption: The parallel cuts between Francis and Kanguva during the climax diminish the impact of the intense Kanguva war sequences.

4. Lack of Clarity: Certain scenes lack sufficient context, making it difficult to fully understand the narrative.

5. Unconvincing Villain: Bobby Deol's portrayal as the villain is over-the-top and comical, rather than menacing.

Overall, the decision to split the film into two parts is questionable. While it's not necessarily bad, it disrupts the narrative flow, especially at a crucial point when the story is building to a climax.

"Kanguva" is a visually impressive action film that unfortunately lacks the emotional depth and compelling villain needed to truly elevate it to greatness. While Suriya delivers an award-worthy performance and the action sequences are spectacular, the film falls short in its storytelling and character development.

Suriya's transformation and dedication to the role are truly commendable. He commands the screen with his presence and delivers a powerful performance that is both physically impressive and emotionally resonant. The action sequences are a visual treat, showcasing Suriya's skills and the film's impressive special effects.

However, the film's narrative feels somewhat disjointed and lacks a strong emotional core. The flashback sequences, while visually stunning, fail to establish a truly compelling villain or create a strong emotional connection with the audience. The lack of a formidable antagonist diminishes the impact of the hero's journey and the overall stakes of the film.

Despite its shortcomings, "Kanguva" is an entertaining action film with impressive visuals and a standout performance from Suriya. However, its lack of emotional depth and a compelling villain prevent it from reaching its full potential.
