Jyotika On Negative Reviews For Suriya Starrer Kanguva: ‘First Half Hour Doesn’t Work But…’ – News18
Last Updated:
Jyotika came to Kanguva’s defence. She said in a lengthy post, “I pen this note not as Suriya’s wife but as cinema lover.”
Suriya and Jyotika have been married for close to two decades now.
Tamil actress Jyotika came to her husband Suriya’s recently released film Kanguva’s defence after it opened to negative reviews. The film was released on Thursday, November 14, and it also starred Bobby Deol and Disha Patani. In a lengthy post on social media, Jyotika said that she was writing the post as a ‘cinema lover and not actor Suriya’s wife.’ She admitted that the film doesn’t start off on a great note but it eventually worked its magic on her.
She lashed out at trolls criticising the ‘jarring’ background music. She questioned the reviewers for not highlighting the positive aspects of the film. “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!” she admits.
“Flaws r a part of most Indian 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 (saluting face emoji),” she added.
“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!” Jyotika said.
She concluded the post by saying, “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!”
News18 Showsha gave Kanguva a 2.5 rating and noted that although the film doesn’t work its magic like it was intended to, Suriya has done a good job in portraying the titular role. As for the box office collection, Kanguva has collected Rs 43 crore in two days.
