Kanguva Hit Or Flop: Day 19 Box Office Collection Worldwide and Budget

Kanguva, the long-awaited Tamil-language epic fantasy action film, is directed by Siva and released in 2024. The film, which is produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, stars Suriya in dual roles, Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, and a talented ensemble cast. The story unfolds as a gripping one that has been set across two timelines with high octane action coupled with a deep emotional core. Despite the scale and star cast, the film's box office journey has been mixed.

Budget and Expectations

  Kanguva is one of the costliest films in Tamil cinema. Its production cost, along with the expenses on promotional activity, is said to be around ₹300 to ₹350 crore. With such a budget and with expectations of dual roles of Suriya, and with fantasy action, it did create huge buzzes ahead of its release. Still, box office performance has indicated mixed receptions by audiences.

Box Office Report

While Kanguva opened strong with ₹24 Cr on its first day, the collections dipped significantly after the opening weekend. The first week contributed ₹64.3 Cr to the total net collection, while the second and third weeks witnessed a steep decline, with ₹4.88 Cr and less than ₹1 Cr, respectively.

The worldwide gross collection of ₹106.25 Cr indicates that the movie has failed to recover the massive budget of ₹300-₹350 Cr. It stands as one of the biggest underperformers.

Critical Reception and Audience Feedback

The film has received lots of appreciation regarding its visuals, Suriya's performances, and the bold plot. However, the film has been criticized for a slow screenplay, underwhelming execution of many key moments, and failing to pace well at the box office due to mixed word of mouth and tough competition from several other releases.

Hit Or Flop verdict

Given its high budget and the low box office returns, Kanguva is expected to be declared a box office flop. The film failing to recover production costs is one of the more notable disappointments of 2024, despite its scale and star power.

Kanguva is a lesson in balancing strong narrative with high production values. While the ambition for the film was laudable, its box office performance leaves much to be desired with respect to connecting with its audience. With OTT platforms emerging as a viable avenue for underperforming films, Kanguva will find a second chance at impressing viewers worldwide.
