Suriya and Trisha starrer Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji, has created history at the Tamil Nadu box office by crossing the prestigious ₹100 crore mark.
The fantasy-action drama, which released on May 15, 2026, has become the fastest Tamil film of the year to achieve this feat in the state. Strong word-of-mouth, packed theatres, and fans celebrating Suriya’s powerful performance have driven the collections, with reports of massive weekend and weekday holds.
The film has not only become Suriya’s highest-grossing release in Tamil Nadu but has also emerged as the biggest Tamil hit of 2026 so far. Distributors and the team are celebrating the “thunderous” response.
With excellent occupancy continuing across the state, Karuppu is now eyeing even bigger numbers as it marches towards a strong lifetime in Tamil Nadu and across India.
