Kanguva

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.

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..

As a Suriya fan , it's hard to accept Kanguva after 2.8 years of wait . This movie neither offers entertainment nor gives something grandeur. All the efforts are wasted . Siva is totally outdated and his ideas are crap. Suriya should invest his time with some young directors . Painful and torturous watch for a true fans. Never felt like this for any Suriya movies. Forgettable experience and have to wait for Karthik Subbraj movie(KS will not disappoint for sure). Siva should stay away from Kollywood instead of wasting producer's money and star's potential .Highly disappointed , never expected such outcome.

Tough time for S fans , we have to wait for another good movie. Till then can watch Soorarai Pottru , Jai Bhim , Vaaranam Ayiram range movies . Suriya can wait and do Vaadivaasal , even if it takes 3 years it will have a monstrous box office run.

Kanguva is a historically overacted and confusing story, and star minus with scary and over makeup and larger then life action seens make you believe that you are wasting your time, all cast and crew are fail to believe us in their story. Above all they are started with roman emperors attack on their places with 25k solider but they are fighting with each other!!! What about the 25k solider who are coming to India to rule, who made them go back?? Why they are disappear? Editing is also very poor you just can't understand what is going on, no evidence of motive or reson why they boy is looking to meet Surya!!!

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.
