The Tamil version once again emerged as the film’s biggest strength. It collected Rs 4.15 crore net from more than 2,600 shows with an overall occupancy of 28 percent. Occupancy improved significantly through the day, especially during afternoon and evening shows, indicating strong word-of-mouth support.
The Telugu version also maintained decent numbers with Rs 80 lakhs net collection and steady occupancy levels. Evening shows recorded the best audience turnout in Telugu-speaking regions.
Apart from the box office success, Karuppu has received appreciation for blending fantasy, courtroom drama and mass commercial elements. The film’s presentation of divine intervention through a larger-than-life commercial hero template has connected strongly with audiences, helping it sustain momentum well into its second week.
