Directed by Siva, ‘Kanguva’ is described as a fantasy action drama that spans over 1,500 years into the past, featuring epic battle sequences and grand visuals. Suriya plays a dual role as a warrior named Kanguva in the past and a contemporary character named Francis.
Bobby Deol portrays the main antagonist, while Disha Patani plays his love interest in the present timeline.
Despite its impressive visuals and Suriya’s stellar performance, the film has faced criticism for its sound levels; some audiences reported that certain scenes were excessively loud.
