The upcoming film Kanguva, starring Suriya, is one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of November, with expectations set high for an impressive box-office debut. However, despite this excitement, the film’s advance bookings in the USA are showing a surprisingly slow start.
Bookings have been open for a few days, but the film has so far garnered only around 60k in gross pre-sales—a figure that falls short of the expected numbers, especially with only ten days remaining before its premiere. This indicates an underwhelming trend in the overseas market, and the film will need a significant boost in momentum to reach the desired box-office success.
The release trailer, expected to drop today or tomorrow, is anticipated to play a crucial role in attracting more attention and driving bookings in the USA as well as in India. The film’s genre, which leans toward action and historical drama, typically appeals to a broad audience.
However, Suriya’s recent career trajectory could be a contributing factor to the lukewarm response. His last major commercial hit was Singham 2, nearly a decade ago, and director Siva’s previous film, Annathe, faced criticism and did not perform well at the box office.
Kanguva still holds strong prospects of trending better in India, where Suriya’s fan base is substantial. If the release trailer generates the right kind of buzz, it could drive up advance bookings in both domestic and international markets, giving Kanguva the momentum it needs for a successful release.
