Mumbai: The highly-anticipated ‘Kanguva’, starring Suriya and Bobby Deol, failed to impress cinegoers. The film has entered Oscars 2025, leaving everyone surprised.
Directed by Siruthai Siva, ‘Kanguva,’ made on a budget of Rs 300–350 crore, was one of the costliest Indian films. However, it managed to mint only Rs 106 crore at the box office.
Now, there are reports that the film is one of the contenders at the upcoming Oscars, along with Payal Kapadia’s ‘All We Imagine as Light’ and Shuchi Talati’s ‘Girls Will Be Girls.’
