3D Visuals is the Only Saving Grace of this Mockery Material

The grandness, immense effort from Suriya, the astounding look and feel go in vain due to the poor content. There is a vision to deliver something big, nothing is possible without a worthy substance.(more)

Suriya-starrer has great ideas, but sub-par execution spoils it

That said, Kanguva looks beautiful on screen, thanks to lensman Vetri Palanisamy�s stunning visuals. The contrast between the worlds of different clans and the overall mood is well captured.

High-voltage action drama that works only in parts

Kanguva is a period action and emotional drama that features some impressive action sequences and emotional scenes. Especially Suriya�s power-packed performance, the surprising elements in the climax, and top-notch technical standards by the team make Kanguva a high-quality magnum opus. But the rout...(more)
