The Tamil-language film Kanguva witnessed a drop in its box office earnings on Day 8, collecting just ₹2 crore in India. This brings its total domestic collection to ₹64.40 crore. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film has managed to resonate with family audiences during its first week, particularly drawing children and parents to theaters.
Local 18 Tamil reports that the family-friendly appeal of Kanguva bolstered its initial success, especially in the first five days of release. The visually stunning sequences and engaging narrative struck a chord with this demographic. However, the negative reviews seem to have gradually impacted audience turnout, contributing to a noticeable slowdown as the second weekend approaches.
Industry analysts remain cautiously optimistic about Kanguva’s performance during its second weekend. If the film sustains its appeal among families and receives a boost from word-of-mouth, it might recover momentum and add significant numbers to its overall box office tally. The upcoming weekend is crucial, as it will determine whether Kanguva can solidify its standing despite the critical feedback.
As it stands, Kanguva faces an uphill battle, but its charm among families could be its saving grace for maintaining steady collections.
