Kanguva, the highly anticipated period fantasy film, has finally hit the theatres today. The movie, which marked the first onscreen collaboration between Suriya and director Siva, has received mixed reviews from both the audience and critics. Even though the National Award-winning actor was impressed with his performance, the storytelling has failed to create an impact. Kanguva, however, is now garnering attention with the electrifying cameo appearance of Karthi, the popular actor and younger brother of Suriya.
