Suriya’s Karuppu continues its impressive theatrical journey as it enters the fifth week in cinemas. The film has sustained its momentum despite the growing buzz around its OTT release, proving its strong hold at the box office.
Directed by RJ Balaji, Karuppu released on May 15, and quickly turned into one of the year’s biggest commercial successes. The film opened to massive numbers and maintained steady performance through subsequent weeks, driven by strong audience reception and positive word of mouth.
In its four-week run, Karuppu has reportedly grossed over 340 crores worldwide, marking a significant milestone in Suriya’s career. The film’s consistent earnings highlight its wide appeal across both urban and mass centres.
Even as it enters its fifth week, Karuppu continues to attract audiences in select regions. The film’s endurance at the box office reflects its strong content appeal and star-driven pull, even in the face of new releases and digital competition.
Trade observers point out that Karuppu stands as a strong example of how films can continue to perform in theatres even as it got released in OTT today. With its mix of action, fantasy elements, and emotional depth, Karuppu has managed to stay relevant well beyond its initial release window, cementing its place as one of the most successful Tamil films of the year.
Following the film’s success, celebrations within the team have also made headlines. Suriya gifted cars to music composer Sai Abhyankkar, cinematographer GK Vishnu, and editor Kalaivanan as a token of appreciation for their contribution. In addition, Suriya also gifted a luxury car to director RJ Balaji. A video of RJ Balaji and Suriya seen taking a drive in the new car has surfaced, further highlighting the celebratory mood surrounding the film’s success.
