Cast: Suriya, Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Natarajan Subramaniam, Kovai Sarala, Vatsan Chakravarthy, Anandaraj and K. S. Ravikumar Director: Siva Kanguva has been in the news since its inception.

From its announcement to its trailer featuring Suriya, Disha Patani, and Bobby Deol in his menacing avatar, the fantasy action-drama has struck the right chords among cinegoers. But has Kanguva lived up to the sky-high expectations of the audience? Let’s find out..



. The narration of Kanguva starts in 1070 when an old tribal lady from the island of Perumachi narrates a story to a group of kids about our place being filled with mysteries. Everyone knows what is happening and where it is happening but doesn’t know the root cause of it.

An excited child named Purva dives into the story and asks about the mysteries. Cut to, the movie shifts to 2024, where illegal research is happening on kids in a biomedical lab at an undisclosed location, which is headed by Russians. One of the children, whose skull has been opened with nerves and whose brain is being altered is the incarnation of Purva.

His code name is Zeta and through experiments, his brain has become powerful and advanced as he can control machines with his mind. One night he escapes from the lab and through a train he reaches Goa. On the floor of the train, he sketches Kanguva, which hints that he still has memories of his previous birth.

In Goa, we get introduced to Francis (Suriya) and his right hand Darling (Yogi Babu), who are bounty hunters, who get assignments from the police to catch criminals, whom cops can’t catch and surrender them in exchange for money. Rating: 3.5 (out of 5 stars) Kanguva is playing in cinemas.
