Suriya's latest Tamil film 'Karuppu', directed by RJ Balaji, has shown strong box office performance in its first two days. According to trade reports, the film earned approximately ₹66.04 crore worldwide by the end of day 2 (May 16, 2026), with a 51% increase in collections on its second day compared to the opening day.
The film, which also stars Trisha Krishnan, has benefited from positive word-of-mouth and strong audience turnout, particularly in Tamil Nadu and key overseas markets. Early estimates suggest the film's domestic net collection in India is around ₹35-40 crore, with the remainder coming from international markets.
'Karuppu' is an action thriller that marks the first collaboration between Suriya and director RJ Balaji. The film's performance is being closely watched as it competes with other releases during the summer season. Industry analysts note that the film's momentum will depend on its performance over the first weekend.
