The much-awaited Tamil film Kanguva, featuring superstar Surya, has hit turbulence at the box office. On day 13, the film managed to collect ₹50 lakhs, bringing its total earnings to ₹68.47 crores. While the numbers indicate a steady decline, the movie’s journey has been overshadowed by controversy.
A co-producer of Kanguva recently alleged that political interference from two major parties has contributed to the film’s underwhelming performance. This accusation has sparked a heated debate, raising questions about the growing influence of politics on the film industry. The allegations include delayed theater allocations and restricted promotions, which have reportedly impacted the movie’s reach and audience turnout.
Despite these challenges, Kanguva has been praised for its high production values and Surya’s powerful performance. However, the political controversy has added a layer of complexity, diverting attention from the film’s artistic merits. As the debate continues, the industry and audiences alike are left pondering the extent to which external forces can shape a film’s fate at the box office.
