Suriya and Bobby Deol’s much-anticipated film, Kanguva, has seen a significant decline in its box office performance as it enters its second week. After a promising start, the action fantasy drama is struggling to maintain its momentum, raising concerns about its future earnings.
Box Office Performance Overview
Released on November 14, Kanguva initially garnered attention with a robust opening day collection of ₹24 crore. However, the film’s earnings have steadily decreased since then. On Day 8, it managed to collect only ₹2 crore, bringing its total net collection to ₹64.40 crore. The occupancy rates in theaters reflect this downward trend, with an overall Tamil occupancy of just 12.91% across various showtimes.

Challenges Ahead for Kanguva
The film’s trajectory suggests an uphill battle to reach the coveted ₹100 crore mark, especially with competition from other releases like Amaran, which has been performing well in theaters. Critics have noted that Kanguva has not met audience expectations, contributing to its dwindling box office numbers.
Production and Expectations
Directed by Siva and produced on a substantial budget of approximately ₹300 crore, Kanguva features a star-studded cast including Disha Patani and Aarash Shah alongside Suriya and Bobby Deol. The film’s narrative revolves around a tribal warrior’s quest to protect his people from evil forces, linking historical themes with contemporary storytelling.Despite the initial hype surrounding its release, the mixed reviews and reported audio issues have affected audience turnout significantly. As the film continues its run in theaters until December 5, it faces the looming release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, which could further impact its performance.
Conclusion
As Kanguva navigates through its second weekend, industry watchers are keenly observing whether it can recover from its current slump or if it will ultimately fall short of expectations at the box office. With declining collections and stiff competition, the coming days will be crucial for this ambitious project.
