Chennai, November 12, 2025: Suriya’s long-awaited action spectacle Kanguva has taken a thunderous start at the box office, with advance bookings surpassing ₹2.2 crore within just a few hours of opening. The film, which also stars Bobby Deol in a powerful antagonist role, has sparked massive excitement across India and overseas markets.
The bookings surged on both online ticketing platforms and multiplex chains, especially in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Hyderabad, signaling a potential blockbuster opening weekend. Trade experts predict that Kanguva could cross ₹25 crore on its opening day, given the pre-release buzz and early audience response.
Massive Hype and Positive Word of Mouth
Backed by Studio Green and directed by Siva, the film is being hailed as one of the most ambitious Tamil action epics in recent years, blending mythological themes with high-octane modern storytelling. Early audience reactions on social media describe Kanguva as a “visual storm” and “career-defining moment” for Suriya.
Film trade analyst Ramesh Bala noted,
“The response to Kanguva has been phenomenal. The combination of Suriya’s star power, Bobby Deol’s screen presence, and Siva’s direction is pulling massive crowds even before the first show.”
Pan-India Release and Strong Reviews
Kanguva is being released in six languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and English — making it one of the biggest pan-India releases of 2025. Critics who attended early screenings have praised its cinematography, background score, and action choreography, calling it a “grand cinematic experience.”
The film’s advance booking numbers have already surpassed those of several recent Tamil blockbusters, underscoring Suriya’s enduring box office pull.
Box Office Outlook
With record-breaking pre-sales and strong word-of-mouth buzz, Kanguva is expected to deliver one of the biggest openings for a Tamil film this year. Trade insiders anticipate an opening weekend gross of ₹80–100 crore worldwide, depending on audience turnout during the festive weekend.
