In analyzing the failure of Kanguva, a production team member attributed the film's underperformance to vested interests.
He claimed that two political parties in Tamil Nadu and fan groups of two top Tamil film stars deliberately targeted the movie with trolling.
According to him, the intent behind this trolling was to hinder Suriya’s rise as a bigger star in the industry.
While there might be some truth to the claims of a political conspiracy, the film's actual flaws were not thoroughly examined, resulting in a wholly negative reception.
Many analysts have identified the primary cause of the film's failure as Siva's direction and overly dramatic narrative. They argue that the exaggerated drama and lack of creativity overshadowed the film’s potential.
Though the movie boasted visual grandeur, it alone was insufficient to ensure success.
Despite this, the production member placed the blame solely on rival stars and political parties, overlooking the film’s inherent shortcomings.
