The highly anticipated Suriya and Trisha starrer ‘Karuppu’ officially hit screens today, Friday, May 15, 2026, amidst massive fan frenzy and a few technical hiccups.
The film, an intense rural action drama directed by RJ Balaji, collected a solid Rs 1.70 crore on its opening day despite the unfortunate cancellation of 9 AM shows across Tamil Nadu due to “unavoidable reasons.”
Producer S.R. Prabhu and director RJ Balaji both expressed their regret over the morning show disruptions, with Balaji sharing an emotional note about the grueling 32-month journey of bringing this project to life.
Advance bookings for the second day have already crossed Rs2.08 crore, indicating that the film is set to pick up significant momentum over the weekend.
With the newly sworn-in CM Vijay granting special permission for extended showtimes, the “Dream Warrior Pictures” venture is expected to see a surge in occupancy across its 3,444 tracked shows.
