Fans too took to comment section to give their opinion as well. One user wrote, “Kanguva is one of the best historical movie in Tamil. Please keep the politics aside and watch the movie in theatre, you will really enjoy the historical Tamil movie. Please support”. Another user wrote, “Freedom of speech…if its bull, its bull, don’t become dictator of who should say what, it its good, it will be praised. Stop crying holding victim card”. “The reviewers are doing a great job. Imagine a movie like  goat where there are so many logical fallacies. Vettaiyan was okish not worth the hype. Devara was also decent but again not a great movie. Since movies have become commercial, the storyline has become very poor.”, wrote the third user.
