The delay in the release of Karuppu seems to have worked in its favour. The Suriya and Trisha starrer was met with a massive fanfare when the movie finally hit the big screens on May 15. The movie got a thunderous opening, and the initial positive word of mouth has helped the collection grow further on the second day.
Suriya starrer Karuppu opened to a decent ₹15 crore at the box office on the day of release. A big chunk of the collection came from the advanced sales of the movie. Cinegoers and fans of Suriya flocked to the theatres in celebration of the release of the Kollywood movie.
The hype seems not to have died down on the second day of release as well. On Saturday, Karuppu minted ₹23.40 cr, which is 51% growth from the previous day, as per Sacnilk. Tamil and Telugu versions of the movie have contribute positively to the overall collection of the film. The movie has amassed a total of ₹38.90 crore at the box office in just 2 days of release.
