Karuppu Box Office: Suriya's Actioner Continues Double-Digit Streak On Tuesday In Tamil Nadu; Set To Enter 100 Crore Club In Second Weekend
Chennai, May 20 - Director RJ Balaji's Karuppu is marching on its way to the 100 crores club at the Tamil Nadu box office after extending the double-digit streak to its first Tuesday. The movie has been on a roll since its release in May 15, and after the excellent weekend, it continues its solid performance in the weekdays with minimal drops.
Starring superstar Suriya, Karuppu opened to 11.25 crores gross in Tamil Nadu, followed by massive growth over Saturday and Sunday to end the opening weekend at 48.50 crores gross in the state. Since the word of mouth has been super positive, the trade was anticipating a regular drop on Monday, but the film stunned by scoring bigger than the opening day collection in Tamil Nadu with around 11.30 crores.
On Tuesday, the action drama managed to stay in the double-digit club with approximately 10 crores gross, helping its total Tamil Nadu gross to reach around 70 crores in 5 days. It is now certain to enter the 100 crores club in the state, and it is expected to achieve this feat in the second weekend itself, to become the first film of Suriya to do so.
