The new fantasy-action film Kanguva, starring Suriya, is generating mixed reviews. Directed by Siva, the movie combines epic historical fantasy with a dual-role storyline. Suriya shines in the role of Kanguva, a fierce tribal warrior, and also plays Francis, a bounty hunter in a contemporary setting. This dual-role format explores connections across time, with the warrior Kanguva defending his village against Roman invaders, a plot that visually leans on impressive landscapes and battle sequences

Critics agree that Suriya’s performance is commendable, and the cinematography by Vetri Palanisamy is particularly striking, with scenes that effectively immerse viewers in a historical setting. Music by Devi Sri Prasad also adds impact at key moments. However, some reviewers found the storytelling overly dramatic and convoluted, with the script not fully doing justice to the star-studded cast, which includes Bobby Deol and Disha Patani. The slow pacing, particularly in the first half, and a disjointed narrative have led some viewers to feel the film lacks cohesion
While Kanguva has ambitious visuals and a dedicated performance by Suriya, it might not meet expectations for those hoping for a tight narrative. Nonetheless, its grandeur and historical aspects have resonated with fans of epic fantasy cinema
