Suriya is undoubtedly one of the vital versatile stars of Kollywood, but unfortunately, his movies haven’t been performing as much as par for a very long time. His last film, Retro, turned out to be an underperformer despite decent pre-release buzz, and now all eyes are on how his next film, Karuppu, performs on the Indian box office. So far as pre-sales are concerned, the film is moving ahead at pace, but will it end the actor’s poor phase in the long term? Let’s discuss it below!
Decent pre-release buzz for Karuppu
The Tamil motion drama is releasing in theaters tomorrow (May 14). It marks RJ Balaji’s directorial debut. It also stars Trisha Krishnan, RJ Balaji, Indrans, Natty Subramaniam, and others. The film’s trailer was well received, especially amongst mass-action fans. It was described as a power-packed trailer that generated decent buzz ahead of its release.
Good response in pre-sales
Within the advance booking, Karuppu has done well up to now, and it has been learned that the 4 crore mark has already been crossed in Tamil Nadu. With a couple of more hours to go, the film is more likely to cross 5 crore gross and has an outdoor likelihood of hitting 6 crore through day 1 pre-sales. So, it seems the film will kick off on a good note.
Tough but achievable goal for Karuppu
Karuppu was reportedly made on a budget of 130 crore, so other than start, it needs a robust word of mouth to change into a clean success on the Indian box office. It needs 130 crore net to enter the secure zone, which is feasible if the audience feedback is in favor. Also, for a very long time, there have been no big releases from Kollywood. So, the Suriya starrer can occupy this space if it offers good content.
Can Karuppu end Suriya’s streak of failures?
For individuals who don’t know, Suriya’s last clean success was Pasanga 2, released in 2015. So, it’s been 10 years because the Singam actor tasted success on the Indian box office. All his biggies after Pasanga 2 didn’t earn the specified collection and were declared unsuccessful. Movies like 24, Si3, NGK, Kaappaan, Kanguva, and Retro couldn’t change into a hit.
After such an extended streak of unsuccessful movies, Karuppu is a ray of hope for the actor. There’s movement at ticket windows within the advance booking stage, so the interest is there among the many audience. All of the film must do is offer audiences in theaters time, and by the trailer, it seems Suriya will finally deliver a winner.
