Kanguva gets OTT release date: Here’s when and where you can watch the Suriya-Bobby Deol film

Kanguva, one of the most talked-about films of 2024, hit the screens on November 14. Even though the film released with sky-high expectations, team Kanguva were immediately grounded by its mixed response. Unfortunately, the movie also found itself in the centre of a controversy surrounding allegations of negative campaigns intended to not allow it to reach its potential. Kanguva also became the cynosure of all eyes since the reviews for the movie pushed Tamil Film Active Producers Council to call for a ban on social media reviews. Amidst all this, Kanguva is set to have its OTT release on December 8. 

Kanguva, director Siva’s maiden collaboration with Suriya, will stream on Amazon Prime Video. The streamer captioned the announcement poster, “A tale as old as time & a LEGACY that lives on. KANGUVA arrives to settle it all.” With the poster only mentioning that the film would be available in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, there has been no update about when the Hindi version will be released.

Kanguva, which revolves around two timelines in 1070 AD and the present, told the story about the generational bond between a tribal warrior and a young boy. The big-budget film performed below expectations, and the makers would be hoping that the streaming audience would be kinder to the film. 

With music by Devi Sri Prasad, and cinematography by Vetri Palanisamy, Kanguva marked the Tamil debuts of Bobby Deol, who played the primary antagonist, and Disha Patani, who played the love interest of Suriya in the present-day portions. Incidentally, due to criticisms about Kanguva’s duration, and the response to the present-day portions, the makers trimmed the film after its release.

Most of the scenes between Suriya and Disha were cut, and the makers also acknowledged the loudness of the film, and reduced it by a couple of points. So, netizens are waiting to see if the streaming version will be the original version of Kanguva or the trimmed one.
