Karuppu Day 26 Box Office: Suriya Starrer Makes History As His First Film To Cross Over $8M Overseas
Karuppu is nearing the end of its first month in theaters, and the performance continues to hold quite well despite the screen sharing with Blast. Crossing the 300-crore milestone globally is a major achievement for the team, and even as it moves through its fourth Tuesday, the film is finding enough of an audience to keep the collections ticking. It is clear that the movie has struck a chord with the viewers, allowing it to maintain a consistent presence at the box office long after its initial buzz. Looking at the Tuesday numbers, Karuppu earned an India gross of ₹0.51 Cr on its 26th day. This represents a 15% drop from Monday's gross of ₹0.60 Cr, which is a very steady hold for a film entering the final stretch of its first month. This latest addition brings the cumulative India gross to ₹224.66 Cr. The movie has managed to maintain a consistent pull at the ticket windows, ensuring that the domestic collections continue to climb at a reliable pace even during the working week.
