Kangava has failed to impress most critics. Jyotika, Suriya's wife, has now reacted to the negative reviews. In a note, she said she was 'surprised' by the negativity received by the film. Kanguva is directed by Siva.
Suriya¡¯s Kanguva hit the screens on November 14 and received mixed reviews from the audience and critics alike. Most of them praised the performances but criticised the screenplay and presentation. Jyotika, who is married to ¡®Nadippin Nayakan¡¯, has now taken to Instagram to defend Kanguva against the ¡®negativity¡¯.
Jyotika defends Suriya's Kanguva
Jyotika, a seasoned performer and Suriya¡¯s wife, is not happy about the fact that Kanguva has received negative reviews from certain sections of the media. On Sunday (November 17), she took to Instagram to address the response to the film. Jyotika acknowledged the film¡¯s shortcomings and said that the first 30 minutes could have been better.
She, however, felt that certain sections of the media had overlooked the film¡¯s positives. The Kaatrin Mozhi star further stated that she is ¡®surprised¡¯ by the fact that Siva¡¯s magnum opus is receiving ¡®this much negativity¡¯.
¡°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?,¡± read a part of her note.
Jyotika subsequently called Kanguva a ¡®cinematic experience¡¯ and lauded Suriya for his efforts. She also praised the camerawork and the ¡®never seen before¡¯ execution.
