Tamil star Suriya’s much-anticipated film Kanguva hit the theaters amidst great hype. Directed by Shiva, this fantasy-action drama received overwhelmingly negative reviews, both from critics and the audience. As a result, the mega-budget film has tanked at the box office within its first week. Despite its grand promotions and star-studded cast, Kanguva is struggling to make even a modest collection. Here’s a breakdown of how much the film earned on its seventh day in theaters.
Day 7 Collections of Kanguva
Kanguva boasted a large star cast and was produced on a massive budget. With heavy promotions leading up to its release, expectations were sky-high. Many anticipated it to dominate the box office. However, a weak storyline proved to be its downfall.
The film’s poor reviews have directly impacted its earnings, and despite being a big-budget project, it is far from meeting expectations. Seven days after its release, Kanguva has failed to even reach the ₹100 crore mark.
Here’s the day-wise breakdown of Kanguva’s earnings:
Day 1: ₹24 crore
Day 2: ₹9.5 crore
Day 3: ₹9.85 crore
Day 4: ₹10.25 crore
Day 5: ₹3.15 crore
Day 6: ₹3.25 crore
Day 7 (Wednesday): Early estimates suggest ₹2.40 crore
This brings the total earnings for the first week to approximately ₹62.40 crore.
A Disappointing Box Office Performance
The poor performance of Kanguva has left the makers deeply disappointed. With just ₹62 crore earned in seven days, the film’s chances of recovering its staggering ₹350 crore budget appear bleak. A “flop” tag has now been attached to this project.
Overconfidence in Pre-Release Predictions
Before its release, producer KE Gnanavel Raja had expressed immense confidence in Kanguva’s potential. He predicted the film would break records and surpass ₹2,000 crore globally. Raja even claimed Kanguva would enter the league of mega-blockbusters like RRR, Baahubali, and KGF, becoming the first Tamil film to cross ₹1,000 crore. However, these bold predictions have fallen flat, and the film’s dismal earnings have left its makers in despair. Doubts also loom over the production of its sequel.
Star Cast of Kanguva
Kanguva stars Surya in the lead role, while Bobby Deol plays the antagonist. The supporting cast includes Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramaniam, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, and Anand. Despite its strong lineup, the film failed to live up to its expectations.
Kanguva, which was expected to be a record-breaking blockbuster, has turned out to be a massive disappointment for its makers and fans alike. With its poor reception and low collections, it serves as a reminder that extravagant budgets and star casts cannot compensate for a weak script.
