Karuppu’s Blockbuster Journey
Directed by RJ Balaji and starring Suriya alongside Trisha Krishnan, Karuppu released worldwide on May 15, 2026. The fantasy action film follows the guardian deity Vettai Karuppu who disguises himself as a lawyer to fight corruption in a court system.
The film struck a chord with audiences thanks to its unique blend of mythology and social commentary. It crossed the ₹100 Cr mark within days of release and has since outperformed Suriya’s previous highest-grosser Singam II (2013).
Produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, Karuppu received mixed to positive reviews from critics but found massive acceptance among the mass audience, driving its exceptional box office performance.
Telugu Version Delivers Strong Results
The film’s Telugu dubbed version, Veerabhadrudu, has also performed impressively at the box office. The Telugu market responded enthusiastically to the film’s content, helping it deliver a superb result and contributing significantly to the overall collections.
With strong holds in both Tamil and Telugu markets, Karuppu continues to prove its staying power at the box office.
