Despite its mixed reception and underperformance at the box office, Kanguva, starring Suriya, has made its way into the list of contenders for the 2025 Oscars. The movie, an epic fantasy action film, initially drew attention with a strong opening but quickly faltered in terms of earnings and audience approval. Now, as it finds itself on the prestigious list of potential nominees, it has ignited a heated debate online.
The news was shared by film industry tracker Manobala Vijayabalan on X (formerly Twitter), leading to an outpouring of disbelief and outrage from netizens. Many users questioned how Kanguva made it to the Oscars, with one commenter sarcastically suggesting, “Now let’s torture a few Oscars movie reviewers also.” Another remarked, “Is this a joke?” with others mocking the nomination by asking if the soundtrack would be nominated for a Grammy next.
