In the post titled 'First Review Kanguva from Censor Board!', Umair Sandhu expressed his admiration for the film, stating, "On the whole, despite having a first half that is rather slow and a ballistic second half and climax, a film like Kanguva makes you proud that Tamil Indian filmmakers dared to dream big and accomplished it."

Sandhu praised Suriya's performance, saying, "Suriya stole the show all the way," and commended Bobby Deol for his terrific form. However, he added that Disha Patani's role was more "sex appealing" in nature. He concluded by rating the film 3.5/5 and recommending audiences skip Diwali releases and go for this "crazy ride."
