The film, released on November 14, 2024, has received a lot of criticism from the audience based on lack of depth, less screen time for other actors and more. Suriya’s wife Jyotika recently defended the film with a long note on Instagram. “I am writing this note as Jyothika and a cinema lover, and not as actor Suriya’s wife. Kanguva – a spectacle in cinema. Very proud of you Suriya, you are an actor and you have taken cinema forward. How dare you dream. Certainly the first 1/2 hour doesn’t work and the sound is harsh, so that’s fair, especially in a film like this! used on 1/2 hour out of 3 hours. But honestly, it’s a complete cinematic experience! The camera work and execution has never been seen before, @vetripalanisamy.

He further added, “I am surprised by the negative reviews from the media and some of the fraternity, because I have not worked at this high level before for the most non-intellectual big budget films I have seen with age-old stories, Where women are chased.” The dialogues are spoken with double meaning and they have the best action sequences.. and what to say about the women’s action sequences in the second part and the young boy’s love and betrayal for Kanguva, I think they forgot to review Time for the good parts. Now it largely makes me wonder if anyone should ever read, listen to or believe them, it’s sad that they brought so much negativity to Kangyuva on the first day, even before the first show was over. Chose (seemed more). Like many group promotions) when it’s actually 3D and deserves kudos for the concept and effort put in by the team to create such a spectacular visual!”
