Karuppu Jumps 51% on Day 2, Crosses Rs 66 Crore Worldwide

A sharp Saturday surge signals strong weekend momentum.

Overview

  • Fueled by strong word-of-mouth Saturday, Sacnilk estimates a 51% day-two rise to Rs 23.40 crore net in India, lifting the worldwide gross to about Rs 66.04 crore.
  • The Suriya–Trisha drama opened Friday, May 15, a day after financial dues forced Tamil Nadu exhibitors to cancel the planned Thursday shows.
  • Early day-one tallies differ by outlet, with Sacnilk pegging India net at Rs 15.50 crore while others reported about Rs 14.40 crore and roughly Rs 20–22 crore worldwide.
  • Cast visits and fan celebrations in Chennai, including at Rohini Theatre, helped turn screenings into events and drove buzz across social media.
  • Trade coverage notes an unconfirmed budget near Rs 130–140 crore, so sustained Sunday strength and steady weekdays will be key to testing the film’s commercial reach.
