Suriya’s highly anticipated film, Kanguva, continues to make waves at the box office, crossing the ₹50 crore mark by the end of its fourth day. After a strong start on its opening day with ₹22 crores, the film experienced a dip in collections but saw a notable resurgence on Sunday, earning ₹10.5 crores—surpassing its Day 1 performance in some regions.
Day Box Office :
- Day 1 (Thursday): ₹22 crores
- Day 2 (Friday): ₹9.5 crores
- Day 3 (Saturday): ₹9.85 crores
- Day 4 (Sunday): ₹10.5 crores
- Total Domestic Collection: ₹51.85 crores
Audience Response and Box Office Factors
- Positive Word of Mouth: Despite mixed initial reviews, Kanguva has benefited from positive audience feedback praising Suriya’s powerful performance and the film’s visual grandeur.
- Regional Pull: The film continues to perform well in Suriya’s stronghold, Tamil Nadu, with decent contributions from Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
- Weekend Effect: The surge in collections on Sunday shows the film’s ability to attract crowds, particularly families and fans, during the weekend.
Challenges Ahead
While the ₹50 crore milestone is commendable, Kanguva still has a long way to go to recover its massive ₹350 crore budget. The film’s performance in the northern belt and Hindi markets remains underwhelming, with limited contribution to the overall collections. Additionally, upcoming releases could pose stiff competition, potentially affecting its weekday earnings.
