Kanguva, starring Suriya in the lead role along with Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, finally hit the cinemas today, November 14. The Siva-directed pan-India movie took a decent start at the box office. 

Kanguva posts Rs 29 crore on the opening day in India, Biggest start for Suriya 

Bankrolled by Studio Green, the movie, which depicts two different eras, clocked Rs 29 crore gross on its opening day at the Indian box office. This is Suriya's career-best start so far. 

The movie grossed around Rs 11.50 crore in Tamil Nadu, which is an okay start for such a big-budget movie. Kanguva raked over Rs 6.25 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while Kerala and Karnataka contributed around Rs 4.25 crore and Rs 2.25 crore, respectively. 

Interestingly, the Hindi-dubbed version performed over expectations and collected around Rs 4 crore on Day 1. This is the best start for a Kollywood movie in the Hindi belt since 2018. Kanguva beats the Hindi opening day collections of Leo, The GOAT, Ponniyin Selvan 1, Ponniyin Selvan 2, Vettaiyan, Indian 2, and others.

The rest of India contributed around Rs 0.50 crore, taking the all-India total cume to Rs 28.75 crore gross on the opening day. 

Kanguva opened to poor talk, might struggle at the box office 

The Suriya starrer mystical period drama opened to mixed to poor audience response. It is very likely to impact its business to a major extent. A drop is expected on its second day. However, it will be interesting to see if the movie can maintain a decent hold and put up a respectable total by the end of its opening weekend.

The poor talk of Kanguva will certainly benefit other releases—Amaran and Lucky Baskhar in the Southern states. Both movies are expected to see a spike in showcasing from tomorrow onwards. 

Area-wise box office collections of Kanguva in India are as follows:

Day Gross box office collection
Tamil Nadu Rs 11.50 crore
APTS Rs 6.25 crore
Kerala Rs 4.25 crore
Karnataka Rs 2.25 crore 
North India (Hindi) Rs 4 crore
ROI Rs 0.5 crore
Total Rs 28.75 crore
