Actress Jyothika penned a note criticizing those who spread negativity about the recently released Kanguva. She praised the efforts of the film’s team for providing “an absolute cinematic experience”.
She agreed that the first 30 minutes of the film didn’t work at all and admitted that the sound was jarring. Despite these flaws, she praised the film for its concept and the team’s effort in creating a magnificent 3D visual.
Jyothika clarified that she is not writing as the wife of Suriya, the lead actor in Kanguva, but rather as a movie lover. She also slammed critics and the film fraternity for not looking beyond flaws and spreading negativity.
KE Gnanavel Raja, the producer, released “Kanguva” in theaters on November 14. Certain quarters in Tamil Nadu responded negatively to the film. Fans slammed the director, Siva, for his loud narrative.
Jyothika’s note…
I pen this note as Jyotika and a cinema lover and not actor Suriya’s wife. Kanguva – a spectacle in cinema. So proud of you Suriya, for the actor you are and how you dare to dream to take cinema forward.
Definitely the first 1/2 hr doesn’t work n the sound is jarring! Flaws r a part of most Iindian films, so that’s only fair, especially in this kind of a film wherein one experiments largely! N it’s just the first 1/2 hr from the whole 3 hrs.But to be true, it’s an absolute cinematic experience! Camera work n execution never before seen in Tamizh cinema, @vetripalanisamy
I’m surprised with the negative reviews from media and certain fraternities, as it’s not done by them to this high level for the most unintellectual big budget films I have seen earlier with age old stories, where women r stalked, double meaning dialogues r spoken and have the most over the top action sequences..
N what about Kanguva’s positives? The women action sequence in 2nd half and the young boy’s love and betrayal for Kanguva? I think they forgot about the good parts while reviewing. Now this Makes me wonder largely whether one should ever read, listen or believe them after all!
It’s sad that they chose this much negativity for Kanguva on day 1, even before the first show was over (seemed more like multiple group propagandas) when it actually deserves an applause for the concept and effort taken by the team to create 3D and such a magnificent visual!
Be proud Team Kanguva, as the ones commenting negative r doing just that and nothing else to their credit to uplift cinema!
