Resul Pookutty on receiving backlash for 'Kanguva'

This statement from the sound designer comes after he faced backlash for his recent release 'Kanguva'. Directed by Siva, 'Kanguva' stars Suriya, Disha Patani and Bobby Deol. It is a fantasy action film that shows the battle between two clans and Suriya was seen in a double role in the film. The film was anticipated as one of the biggest releases of the year and was speculated to be one of the highest grossers of the year but the film has proved to be a failure at the box office.

Fans were highly disappointed with the film and they also blamed Pookutty for this sheer failure of the film. Fans criticised the Oscar award winner for the 'loud' music in Kanguva. Resul took to Instagram to share that one of his friends, a re-recording mixer sent him a clip with excessively loud sound, music, and dialogues making 'Kanguva' one of the largest films in theatre. He further wrote that it is disheartening to see a review about sound in our popular films like this. He mentioned that his raft and artistry are caught up in a loudness war. The sound designer also posed a question that who is to blame for this loudness? The sound guy? He also asked the film fraternity to take a strict step and a binding decision on this issue.
