Kanguva review by India.com
“Kanguva has some thrilling moments but doesn’t always hit the emotional mark. The action scenes are visually stunning and well-executed, yet they don’t connect deeply. Despite solid VFX, these moments feel underwhelming because the story doesn’t fully support them. The romance between Suriya and Disha Patani could have been stronger and this affects the film’s ability to live up to the hype.”
