Suriya’s Kanguva Surges at the US Box Office, Selling Over 3,000 Tickets

While Telugu cinema has successfully broken regional barriers, Tamil cinema continues to face challenges in international markets, especially for films that don’t feature stars like Thalapathy Vijay, Rajinikanth, or Kamal Haasan. Although the recent Tamil film Amaran crossed the US $1 million mark within five days of release, Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva is seeing a modest performance during its advance booking phase.

As of Tuesday morning, Kanguva had sold approximately 2,700 tickets, earning US $58,685 (₹49 lakh) for its premiere shows across 365 locations. By Wednesday morning, the numbers rose slightly to US $68,330 (₹57.5 lakh) with 3,073 tickets sold for 1,035 shows in 390 locations. In contrast, Pushpa 2, which is still a month away from release, has already sold five times as many tickets and collected six times the revenue.

Despite the lukewarm response, industry insiders remain hopeful, anticipating a surge in ticket sales as the release date approaches. However, with limited buzz, much will depend on positive word-of-mouth. Directed by Siva, Kanguva is a fantasy action film also starring Bobby Deol and Disha Patani. The film is set to hit theaters on November 14.
