Fans have been eagerly waiting for the Kanguva movie featuring Suriya and Bobby Deol, and they finally got a chance to watch it. This film was directed by Siva and managed to earn an impressive amount of ₹16.67 crore on its first day itself across all its language versions. The film did not get good reviews from critics, but the earnings of the film on the first day only showcases how well the film appealed to the general audience. It seems that Kanguva will make significant earnings at the box office, with Suriya and Bobby Deol providing crucial star power to the film’s potential.
Kanguva box office collections Movies’ first day collection
The first day collection of the movie took this number to ₹16.67 crore, which was a great achievement for the film considering the controversy when it first released. The support and the enthusiasm of the fans was very useful in generating sales for the film at the beginning, whereas great numbers were recorded in the sale of tickets for the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and other language markets. Many people came to support the movie since it had amazing action scenes, a good storyline, and had famous stars, and so they had a feeling that it would do well in the coming days.
Doubts can be cast on the critics as Kanguva seems to have appealed to the audience
There seem to be mentionable differences in the opinions that critics had about the movie, Kanguva, which resulted in a rating of Kanguva being somewhat less than average at least for some reviewers 3 out of 5 stars. As noted by a critic from their own staff, the film surely offers an interesting amalgamation of factors: it is Suriya after a gap of two years, Siva for the first time after the achievement of Annaatthe, and there happens to be a compelling backdrop of war yearning to be told over the present time and the time gone by. While the film was indeed hyped quite a lot and it had some weaknesses, in the end it delivered in the majority of its aspects providing an experience which allowed the majority of the audiences to be transfixed throughout the feature.
Significant amount of engagement is noted across the board for the film in regards to its audience
Apart from all that Kanguva expanded its reach by being released in 8 languages which are most of them Indian languages ie Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, Hindi plus English, and French and Spanish. Even with all that Kanguva was able to sustain itself well it being rated a 3 out of 5 with Tamil being most of Kanguva’s regions With morning shows holding 35, around 33 in the afternoon, and sadly only 30 in the evening. On the other hand, it seems like Kanguva’s 3D variant seems to generate more excitement in viewers with Kanguva starting with 45 in the morning and growing to 48 percent in the evening.
However, other regions reported overall performance and occupancy levels that differ significantly from the trends in the western markets. The latter, particularly in India where Hindi is spoken, had approximately ten per cent of its audiences consuming the movie in its 3D format, with some increase experienced in the afternoons and evening showing bookings. However, in areas where Suriya’s suffix was popular, the occupancy for the 2D version was doing well recording 65 per cent in the mornings before dropping to 55 per cent in afternoons and 48 in the evenings.
Impatience Over Kanguva’s Weekend Box Office Performance Starts
On the first day of its release, Kanguva seems to have performed well prompting analysts to make projections for the entire weekend considering Kanguva’s day-one performance. With Suriya’s constant support from his fans, the film’s earnings will definitely experience a rise. With the word-of-mouth spread about the film after the weekend and the fact that it is still showing in theaters, it will help to bring in more money at the box offices in the coming times. If the first day earnings do get to the anticipated 25-30 crore range, then superior figures may follow in places where night shows do well.
The Stakes: Huge Hopes and a High Being Expenditure
Kanguva had its production cost close to about ₹350 crore with a spend towards promotion of about ₹20 to ₹25 crore. Considering the amount spent, Kanguva has to net collections of not less than ₹300 crore in order to break even. This means that considering the recoverable cost both of production and advertising the film has a target performance set out for it across various regions.
Looking Ahead: What Would Be The Box Per Collection For Kanguva
Regardless of the mixed opinions from the critics, however, the popularity of the film among Suriya’s fans is likely to result in steady sales of tickets in the future. If Kanguva manages to hold on to its sales momentum through the weekend, it is likely to enable the movie partially move towards the much ambitious target of earnings while giving Suriya and the production team some smile. Fans and industry insiders are both hopeful and excited and wish Kanguva will not only engage the attention of the audience, but also set new records at the box office.
