Fanfare and fervor around the release of a famous actor’s movie are common, but a recent incident has crossed a line that should not be ignored. Upon its release, Suriya’s Kanguva faced a dismal box office performance, with both audiences and critics harshly criticizing the film for being all noise and lacking substance. Videos have been going viral on social media of people roasting the film and its makers.
One such video was of a man ruthlessly trolling and slamming the filmmakers for the shoddy film.
In the video, when the media asked the elderly man about the movie, Surya’s role, and the effects, he responded, “There was no role, no effects, and not even a clue of anything.” When they further inquired if he liked the songs, the old man angrily replied, “Since the movie began, they were shouting non-stop!”
The media person asked, “Who was shouting?” He snapped back, “Who else? That lunatic Suriya! Have you taken the movie? Are we mentals living in Tamil Nadu? In the name of comedy, two have come; Lokesh and someone called Yogi Babu. I couldn’t bear it! They tortured us for ten minutes, and then they dragged us into the forest with Kanguva. The 3D visuals were simply nothing”
When asked if he liked anything about the movie, the old man retorted, “Liked? If you had allowed it, we would have torn the screen apart! Everyone’s blood is boiling! Do you think 300 or 400 rupees comes that easy for us?”
He mentioned that the other movie, ‘Amaran’, which was released on Diwali, was far better and had a much stronger mass appeal. When you pay for a movie ticket, there should be an element of thrill and excitement, but ‘Kanguva’ didn’t deliver on that front. He had high expectations based on the trailers, but the 3D visuals were subpar, with the faces of the characters unclear. The elderly gent asserted the movie will fade away in less than a week and end up being a flop.
This viral video seems to have irked Suriya fan club with some fans beginning to target individuals who criticized the film. These fans not only posted hurtful comments about those who voiced their opinions, but also made threatening statements, going as far as tracking down personal details like IDs and phone numbers.
On the X platform, a Suriya fan known as Rajubhai (@Rajkallaisfc), who identifies as the Head of the Kallakurichi IT Wing of Suriya’s fan club, shared posts featuring an elderly man who had criticized a movie. In these posts, it was stated that the fans would be “rewarded” if they identified him. The comments that followed were even more alarming, with some containing explicit threats to the man’s life. In subsequent posts, the the fan club head claimed to have obtained the old man’s personal details, including their name and phone number, which raises significant concerns about safety and security of his life.
