A movie which lost sight of its intention. No matter how good the cinematography, acting, action, graphics... An overdose of it is definitely not enjoyable. Do these directors watch the movie from the point of view of an audience... We can't sit for 2.5 hours and watch people kill each other in a variety of ways. I wish they had focused on having a proper story also. This is not a good direction that our movies are heading towards... Violence...aggression.. revenge.. how is that enjoyable. There's no relief between the violent scenes. Too much screaming, graphic violence. This movie is not a pleasant watch for sure.
The only movie that was a hit for Siva is Siruthai and this guy has been running the world with just one movie and all the other movies are disaster and I don't know why actors are still accepting movies from him after making such a nonsensical movies..
I hope after seeing this movie and other flop movies of him the producer should stop giving money to this guy,
He's wasting money and shaming Tamilnadu, after this movie, many other state people started mocking tamil industry that tamilians cannot make great movies and I hope other directors seeing this should learn from him how to not take movies..

First feeling I had that this is going to be a great entertainment. Reality is far from my expectations. What a waste of producers money. I was expecting something interesting to happen for first 50mins... not even one single captivating scene. Not worth watching. Please do t waste your money / time. Very very poor plot... there is no story telling skills. It's time for retirement for Director Siva. I should agree that a lot of money spent on makeup and background setting. With no story, rest everything is just useless.
Another that messes up experience - too much western culture setup.... Entire movie is boring.

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....
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.
