Kanguva vs Vettaiyan BO Collection: How is Suriya’s epic fantasy faring against Rajinikanth’s action drama?

Kanguva vs Vettaiyan Box Office Collection: The big-budgeted Kanguva, featuring Suriya, released on 14 November. It was reported that the movie’s release date was changed to avoid a clash with Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan, released on 10 October.

Kanguva made a decent debut at the box office last week but failed to retain its momentum. The movie makers had earlier said that the movie would be one of the biggest Tamil blockbusters, but the movie’s earning trend clearly indicates a different story. The movie has been seen as a competitor of Vettaiyan, which was released a month ago. Here’s how Kanguva has performed against Vettaiyan, which ranks as the third-highest-grossing Tamil movie of the year, according to Sacnilk.
