Oscars 2025: Suriya and Bobby Deol starrer Kanguva was released in the year 2024. There were a lot of expectations from this movie but it proved to be a flop at the box office. The film had to be trolled a lot due to its loud sound score and less screen time of other actors. However, despite all this, the film directed by Shiva has achieved a big achievement. Actually, ‘Kanguwa’ has made a place in the list of contenders for Oscar 2025, competing with about 323 global films.

kanguwa box office collection
Kanguva was released on 14 November 2024. This film received a very poor response from the audience and its box office performance was quite disappointing. The film was able to collect Rs 96 crores and missed crossing the milestone of Rs 100 crores. Kanguva, made with a hefty budget of Rs 350 crore, proved to be a huge loss-making deal for the makers.
Where to watch Kanguva on OTT?
Apart from Surya, Bobby Deol also played an important role in the fantasy action drama Kanguva. This film was released on OTT on December 8, 2024, just a few weeks after its theatrical release. It can be seen on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video.
