Karuppu Storm: Suriya Starrer Nears ₹300 Crore in Box Office Run

Suriya’s latest outing Karuppu is showing no signs of slowing down as it marches steadily toward the impressive ₹300 crore milestone in its third week at the global box office. The fantasy action drama, directed by RJ Balaji , has emerged as one of the strongest performers in recent Tamil cinema, driven by sustained audience interest and strong word of mouth.

The film features Suriya in the role of lawyer Saravanan, a man who takes on entrenched corruption with the help of a mysterious supernatural force. Blending social drama with fantasy elements, the film has struck a chord with audiences across regions. Trisha Krishnan plays a key role, while RJ Balaji also appears as the antagonist, adding further weight to the narrative.

Released on May 15, Karuppu has already collected between ₹253 crore and ₹262 crore worldwide within just 13 days. The film’s performance in Tamil Nadu has been especially dominant, contributing more than ₹150 crore in gross earnings , while strong turnout from Karnataka and Kerala has added to its pan South Indian success.

Trade reports indicate that the film has already surpassed Suriya’s earlier benchmark set by Singam 2 , marking a new high point in his career box office journey. It also stands as the highest grossing Tamil film of 2026 so far.

A major factor behind the film’s momentum has been its positive audience reception, with repeat viewership and strong weekend spikes. Reports also suggest more than 4 million tickets sold through BookMyShow , highlighting its wide reach among urban and mass audiences alike.

With steady collections continuing into its third week, Karuppu is now firmly positioned to breach the ₹300 crore mark , further strengthening its status as one of the most commercially successful Tamil films of the year.
