Kanguva directed by Siruthai Siva and starring Suriya, Bobby Deol and Disha Patani among others, took a reasonably good start at the Hindi box office as the movie managed a net business of around Rs 3.25-3.50 crore (Rs 4 crore gross) on the opening day. It has actually registered the biggest opening for a Kollywood film in Hindi since November 2018 and that is a remarkable feat because it is difficult for regional films, particularly Kollywood films, to make inroads in the Hindi market from the opening day itself, like this Suriya starrer, without a recognised IP.

Kanguva Takes The Biggest Opening For A Kollywood Film In Hindi Since 2.0; Nets Rs 3.35 Crore

Kanguva has opened bigger than the likes of Leo, The Goat, Ponniyin Selvan I, Ponniyin Selvan II, Vettaiyan, Indian 2 and others in Hindi. Leo, The GOAT and Vettaiyan didn't see a release in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis because the makers were not ready to adhere to the terms set by the multiplex chains for dubbed Hindi releases. The opening of Kanguva is almost the same as Pushpa: The Rise, which went on to net over Rs 100 crore in Hindi. The difference is that Pushpa's word of mouth was very good while Suriya's mystical has opened to mixed to negative reports. It is these reports that will be affecting it the most in the days to come.

The all India gross opening of Kanguva is in the vicinity of Rs 28-29 crore as per early estimates. While it is Suriya's highest, it had to be much higher given the hype, the promotions, the scale and all the other factors. The movie will obviously be seeing a significant drop in its collections on Friday and the extended opening weekend in India may probably shock many.
