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!!!
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..

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.
Kanguva, a highly anticipated Tamil period fantasy film, has finally hit the screens, leaving a mixed bag of reactions. While the film boasts impressive visuals and commendable performances, it falters due to a lackluster screenplay and direction.
The film's strongest points lie in its visual effects and cinematography. The VFX team has outdone themselves, creating stunning and immersive battle sequences and mythical landscapes. Vetri Palanisamy's cinematography further enhances the film's grandeur, capturing the beauty of the period setting and the intensity of the action.
Suriya delivers a solid performance in dual roles, showcasing his versatility as an actor. However, while his performance is commendable, it doesn't quite reach the heights of his acclaimed role in Soorarai Pottru. Devi Sri Prasad's music is another highlight, though it can be overwhelming at times, particularly in the louder scenes.
Unfortunately, the film's biggest downfall is its direction by Siva. The screenplay is riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies, making it difficult to engage with the story. The first 30 minutes are particularly weak, lacking any real substance or excitement. The dialogues are often cringe-worthy and fail to leave a lasting impact.
Despite its flaws, Kanguva is still a visually stunning film that offers some entertaining moments. However, it's clear that the film's potential has been squandered due to poor direction and writing. While the technical aspects are top-notch, the overall experience is marred by a lack of substance and coherence.

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.

Watch Suriya, Disha Patani, and Director Siva as they discuss breathtaking shoot locations and why Bobby Deol was perfect as the menacing villain.
