Tamil film Karuppu has emerged as a BLOCKBUSTER, with the film posting a sensational hold on its first working day, Monday. Per early estimates, the Suriya starrer is looking to collect over Rs. 10 crore in Tamil Nadu today, while the overall India figure is over Rs. 13 crore. In Tamil Nadu, this is an outstanding hold of a mere 10-15 per cent drop from its opening day in the state. It also joins only a handful of films to have a double-digit Monday in the state and even a smaller list of those that did that without any holiday support.

The four-day total in the state will be Rs. 57 crore approx, with the first week likely to be somewhere in the Rs. 75-80 crore range. The film is certain to hit Rs. 100 crore mark in the state. Based on this Monday hold, it could well be targeting Rs. 150 crore or so final, and that would firmly place it as a BLOCKBUSTER. Of course, there will still be work to do to reach there, but when Monday holds this well, one can expect the subsequent days to hold strong as well.
Karuppu is the first HIT film for Suriya since Singam II in 2013. The superstar was at the peak of his career during the early 2010s, delivering several major grossers on the go. However, the years that followed saw him endure a prolonged rough patch at the box office. Some of his films opened promisingly but failed to sustain due to poor reception, while others that found audience appreciation could not generate a strong initial start. Unfortunately, two of his best-received films didn’t get a theatrical release and were released digitally during COVID. For the first time in a long while, things have fallen into place together, and it's finally the long-awaited hit that had eluded the superstar for years.
