Suriya's 'Kanguva' Joins Oscars 2025 Race

Chennai, January 7 - Tamil star Suriya's fantasy action entertainer Kanguva has entered the Oscars 2025 shortlisted film. Directed by Siva, it was one of the most anticipated movies of 2024 but ended up as a massive failure at the box office, grossing a little over 100 crores worldwide.

Kanguva got heavy criticism from critics and audiences alike but now, it has been included in the Oscars 2025 list among 323 films. The Indian netizens are surprised by this unexpected development, but it is a special achievement which is a source of happiness for the makers amid the gloomy box office performance.



The Academy has listed 323 films that are eligible for Oscar Awards, to be held on March 3. Out of 323 movies, 207 films are eligible for Best Picture Award. It will be a monumental achievement if Kanguva manages to clinch the award but given how it was treated by critics, the chances look dim for that to happen.

Produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, Kanguva marked the Tamil debut of Bobby Deol and Disha Patani. The film follows Francis Theodore, a bounty hunter in 2024, whose connection with a child is mysteriously connected to a fierce tribal warrior's promise to a child in the year 1070.
