With just three days remaining until its grand release, Kanguva—the highly anticipated Tamil epic starring Suriya—is generating a lot of buzz. Scheduled to hit screens on November 14, the film is expected to deliver a strong performance at the box office, but it still needs to pick up pace in terms of advance booking.
About the Film:
Directed by Siva, Kanguva is one of the most ambitious projects in Tamil cinema, with a production budget reportedly exceeding ₹300 crore. This grand-scale project has been a major talking point, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if it can meet the sky-high expectations. Despite the hype, the film’s advance bookings have not yet seen full-scale momentum, and the numbers so far are decent but not earth-shattering.
The film is expected to have one of the widest releases for a South Indian film, and with its high production value, it needs a strong start. While the initial response has been positive, the first-day advance booking figures still have a lot of ground to cover.
Current Status: Advance Bookings So Far
As of 11:30 AM IST, a total of 545 shows have been listed for Kanguva, with over 32,000 tickets sold for Day 1. The gross from these early sales stands at ₹52 lakh, excluding blocked seats. While these numbers are decent, considering the scale of the film, they need a considerable boost to reach the expected ₹5 crore mark for the opening day.

What’s Next for Kanguva?
With the full-fledged advance booking yet to begin, there’s still room for improvement. However, the film is expected to gain momentum in the coming days. For now, the initial target for the opening day is to hit ₹5 crore in advance bookings. Whether it can achieve this milestone before its release remains to be seen.
Will Kanguva Hit the Mark?
Given its massive scale and the star power of Suriya, Kanguva is poised to make a strong impact. But with just three days to go, it will need a surge in ticket sales to meet expectations for its opening day. Stay tuned for more updates as the numbers continue to roll in.
