Kanguva (2024) made ₹70.37 crore and Retro (2025) collected ₹60.58 crore in its lifetime. Karuppu is faring better in Tamil than its dubbed Telugu version.
About Karuppu
Karuppu was supposed to release on Thursday, May 14, but hours before the scheduled morning shows, fans learned of its cancellation. Eventually, all shows for the day were cancelled due to a financial dispute between the producer and distributors. However, as things were sorted by Thursday evening, a teary-eyed R Balaji, the film’s director, announced it would be released on Friday.
After the film’s release, RJ penned a note requesting audience members to be kind and take care of the people around them. He took to his X account and wrote, “With Gratitude, and a Gentle Request To every single one of you who has walked into theatres and embraced Karuppu: THANK YOU! The love you’ve shown this film has been overwhelming, and beyond anything we imagined when we set out to make it. – of audiences cheering, weeping, We’re hearing stories from across Tamil Nadu and beyond – and in many instances, being so deeply moved that they’ve experienced something far greater than cinema. Some have felt divine intervention within the theatre itself. To us, this is the highest blessing our film could have received.”
He said, “If you happen to be seated near someone who appears to be touched by divine energy during a screening, please be kind. Please be present. Help them with water, with space, with a steady hand. Inform the theatre staff so they can be cared for with dignity. A moment of compassion from a stranger is, in itself, a sacred act. To our exhibitors and theatre partners across Tamil Nadu, we humbly request you to keep your staff prepared and sensitive to these moments. Please treat every such moment with the reverence it deserves. Karuppu belongs to the people now. The faith you’ve brought into the theatre is what has made this film what it is. Let us protect that faith together, with grace. Love, RJ Balaji.”
