Kanguva, the high-budget Tamil film starring Suriya and Bobby Deol, has officially joined the list of Oscar 2025 contenders, despite an underwhelming theatrical reception. While some viewers criticized the film for its loud soundtrack and uneven performances, the movie’s unexpected Oscar recognition marks a surprising turn of events.

Directed by Siruthai Siva, Kanguva was released in November 2024, marking Suriya’s return to the big screen after a two-year hiatus. The film, a high-fantasy adventure, was anticipated to be a major box office hit but struggled to meet expectations, receiving mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. Despite this, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced the film as one of the 323 feature films eligible for Oscars 2025.
