Popular South actress Jyotika and wife of Suriya recently shared a long note on Instagram regarding the negative reviews about Kanguva. Praising her husband’s movie, she called Kanguva a ‘cinematic experience’ and ‘never before seen in Tamizh cinema’. The actress shared that she was surprised by negative reviews. She also asked about the positive aspects of the movie that were not highlighted by the reviewers. Jyotika mentioned that reviewers forgot to mention the good parts of the film. She also called it ‘sad’ that people chose to showcase so much negativity for the movie after the first show since its release. 

The actress wrote, “I pen this note as Jyotika and a cinema lover and not actor Suriya's wife - Kanguva - a spectacle in cinema. So proud of you Suriya, for the actor you are and how you dare to dream to take cinema forward. Definitely the first 1/2 hr doesn’t work n the sound is jarring! Flaws r a part of most Iindian films, so that’s only fair, especially in this kind of a film wherein one experiments largely! N it’s just the first 1/2 hr from the whole 3 hrs. But to be true, it’s an absolute cinematic experience! Camera work n execution never before seen in Tamizh cinema, @vetripalanisamy.” 

Jyotika continued, “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? The women action sequence in 2nd half and the young boy's love and betrayal for Kanguva? I think they forgot about the good parts while reviewing. Now this Makes me wonder largely whether one should ever read, listen or believe them after all! It’s sad that they chose this much negativity for Kanguva on day 1, even before the first show was over (seemed more like multiple group propagandas) when it actually deserves an applause for the concept and effort taken by the team to create 3D and such a magnificent visual!” 

She added, “Be proud Team Kanguva, as the ones commenting negative r doing just that and nothing else to their credit to uplift cinema!”
