More details

Kanguva was released in 2D and 3D in all south Indian languages and Hindi. Mounted on an estimated budget of over ₹350 crore, Kanguva is produced by K E Gnanavel Raja, V Vamsi Krishna Reddy and Pramod Uppalapati.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “The entire core of the film is the emotional relationship between Francis/ Kanga and the young boy. Everything else revolves around this but the story narration is weak. The writing by Siva elevates the hero, Kanga, but doesn’t do justice to the other characters in the film including Udhiran, Francis, Angelina and the others in the period era. Siva has ensured that he has put in plenty of emotion where Kanguva is concerned (e.g the saving of a the rival’s son; the boy’s betrayal and saving him) and drama (e.g. Kanga kills an entire army by himself) but the writing is inconsistent. The director has filled the movie with so many elevation moments for the hero that the story narration takes a big hit.”
