Suriya, Bobby Deol and Disha Patani’s Kanguva hit the big screens on November 13 and it registered a solid opening at the box office. Despite receiving mixed reviews from film critics and fans, it managed to draw substantial audiences to theatres, especially in Tamil-speaking regions.

Kanguva raked in around Rs 22 crore on its release day, Thursday. The movie’s Tamil 2D shows recorded an impressive 37.25 per cent occupancy, while Tamil 3D shows boasted a higher occupancy rate of 49.89 per cent.

In other regional markets, Kanguva saw varied results. Its Hindi 3D shows reportedly attracted a modest 11.47 per cent occupancy, whereas the Hindi 2D screenings performed significantly better at 58.12 per cent.

The Telugu 2D shows achieved 12.64 per cent occupancy, while Telugu 3D shows recorded 39.28 per cent. Reportedly, the film’s Telugu and the Hindi dubbed versions earned Rs 5 crore and Rs 3.25 crore, respectively.

The film is expected to perform well during the weekend.

Kanguva has created quite a buzz on social media platforms. While some called the first half of the film ‘boring’ and expressed disappointment over the background music, others praised Suriya’s performance.

A section of social media users also called Kanguva Suriya’s ‘career best’ performance.

Directed by Siva, Kanguva features scenes set 1,500 years in the past and stars Suriya facing off against Bobby. The cast also includes Natarajan Subramaniam, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, and Ananda.

With an estimated budget of over Rs 350 crore, Kanguva has reportedly been filmed in seven countries and various parts of India.

Speaking about the film earlier, Suriya had told that he wanted to make something like Hollywood movies like Braveheart and The Lord of the Rings.

“Siva came up with this idea of what if we go back a few 100 years… What would happen if our people lived such life and had a complex situation? Let’s picture that and that’s how the whole thing came about,” the actor had said.

Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty found himself in a sticky situation after his wallet was stolen from his pocket during his mega roadshow in Jharkhand on Tuesday. The actor campaigned for BJP in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, and that is when he got pickpocketed, leaving the organisers red-faced.

A video from the rally has now gone viral in which the organisers and other BJP karyakartas can be heard repeatedly requesting the pickpockets to return the veteran star’s wallet. “Whoever has stolen the wallet, please return it to Mithun Da,” a BJP member was seen urging the crowd.

Despite repeated pleas, the wallet was not returned.

Chakraborty led a massive roadshow in the Nirsa Assembly area of Jharkhand to extend his support to BJP candidate Aparna Sen Gupta. Thousands of people gathered at the venue to catch one glimpse of the star, and it led to major chaos and mismanagement at the spot.

Despite security forces in place, the crowd went out of control and rushed towards the stage to click photos and videos of the actor and see him from up close. It was during this chaos that Chakraborty’s wallet was stolen.

Disappointed by the fiasco, Chakraborty concluded the event sooner than expected and rushed back to safety.
