Suriya’s film Karuppu continues to perform strongly at the Indian box office. On Wednesday, the film collected around Rs. 11.75 crore across India. The collections saw only a 17 per cent drop from Tuesday, which is considered a stable hold for a film already earning at this level.
With this, the total collection of the film after 6 days has reached approximately Rs. 120.25 crore. The movie is now expected to finish its first week close to Rs. 130 crore. The strong performance has already made Karuppu the highest grossing film of Suriya’s career.
The film has crossed the lifetime record of Singam 2, which had remained Suriya’s top grossing film for the last 13 years. Trade estimates suggest that Karuppu could continue its successful run and collect more than Rs. 200 crore in India, which would be more than double the actor’s previous highest total.
The day wise collections of Karuppu in India are as follows:
Friday collected Rs. 19.00 crore.
Saturday collected Rs. 27.00 crore.
Sunday collected Rs. 31.75 crore.
Monday collected Rs. 16.50 crore.
Tuesday collected Rs. 14.25 crore.
Wednesday collected Rs. 11.75 crore.
The total collection currently stands at Rs. 120.25 crore.
The film is also performing exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu. On Wednesday alone, it earned around Rs. 8 crore in the state. This is now recorded as the third highest non holiday Wednesday collection in Tamil Nadu box office history, behind only Vikram and Leo. The film has also moved ahead of The GOAT in daily collections.
The territorial breakdown for Karuppu in India is as follows:
Tamil Nadu collected Rs. 75.50 crore.
APTS collected Rs. 18.85 crore.
Karnataka collected Rs. 13.75 crore.
Kerala collected Rs. 10.25 crore.
Rest of India collected Rs. 1.90 crore.
The India total stands at Rs. 120.25 crore.
The success of Karuppu is being seen as an important moment for the Tamil film industry, especially at a time when there is growing discussion about the need for more major stars consistently leading large scale films.
