Why Suriya’s Kanguva didn’t meet expectations
Suriya’s much-anticipated film Kanguva has finally hit the screens, but the response has been largely negative. Audiences and critics alike have pointed out several flaws in the movie, including inconsistent direction, a confusing screenplay, flat storytelling, lack of emotional depth, exaggerated performances, and an overpowering background score. Many had hoped that Suriya’s acting would be the film’s saving grace, but even his performance fell short of expectations.
In Kanguva, Suriya plays two roles. While his portrayal of Kanguva in the flashback scenes is somewhat better, it still lacks the impact that audiences expected. His performance, marked by shouting and exaggerated expressions, feels too forced, failing to capture the powerful presence of a clan leader. Despite the intense scenes, nothing seems to elevate the role, leaving viewers disappointed.
Suriya extensively promoted Kanguva across India, expressing confidence in the film’s potential. He promised exciting surprises and shared his belief that the movie would make a mark in Tamil cinema. However, it appears that he may have misjudged the film’s quality. It’s common for actors to sense during production if a project is falling short, and often they continue to promote such films merely as a formality. In Suriya’s case, though, he seemed genuinely enthusiastic and confident about Kanguva, leading fans to trust his words.
This situation may impact Suriya’s credibility with fans and audiences in the future. After Kanguva’s underwhelming performance, people might not take his promotional statements as seriously. The film was anticipated as Suriya’s big return to Tollywood, but it appears to have missed the mark, leaving his followers disappointed and questioning his future choices.
