Karuppu Box Office: Suriya's Action Drama Tops 300 Crore Worldwide To Become 10th Tamil Film To Do So

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Chennai, June 5 - Suriya's latest action drama Karuppu has achieved a major milestone at the global box office by crossing the 300 crore gross mark worldwide. With this feat, the film has become only the 10th Tamil film in history to enter the prestigious club, further cementing Suriya's position among the biggest stars in Tamil cinema. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film has enjoyed a strong theatrical run across domestic and overseas markets since its release. Backed by positive word-of-mouth and solid occupancy in key territories, Karuppu continued to attract audiences well beyond its opening week, helping it surpass the significant 300 crore worldwide benchmark on its 22nd day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Landmark Achievement For Suriya The success of Karuppu marks another major box office milestone in Suriya's career. The actor has delivered several critically acclaimed films over the years, but Karuppu now stands as his first 300-crore grosser, beating his previous record holder by more than 2x margin. This has also become the first Tamil film of the year to hit the triple century. The film's performance has been driven by strong collections in Tamil Nadu, where it has topped 150 crores gross collection, while also getting healthy contributions from the rest of India and a blockbuster overseas run. It is the ninth film ever to reach the 150 crore mark in Tamil Nadu, and the first for Suriya to do so. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Joins An Elite Tamil Box Office Club Crossing 300 crore worldwide is a rare achievement for Tamil films. Only a handful of titles have managed to reach the mark, with blockbuster franchises and star-driven spectacles dominating the list. By entering this club, Karuppu joins an elite group of Tamil blockbusters that have set new standards for the industry's global box office potential. With the film still running in theatres, it is interesting to see how much further Karuppu can climb. While the day-wise trend is slowing down, the film still seems to have some gas left before wrapping up its theatrical run with around 310-315 crores worldwide. For now, the film's entry into the ₹300 crore worldwide club stands as a remarkable achievement and another major victory for Tamil cinema on the global stage.

Mumbai, June 5 - Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is among the most-anticipated films in India, and the makers are set to open IMAX advance bookings for the same on June 8, Warner Bros. Discovery India confirmed. The announcement comes amid unprecedented global excitement surrounding the filmmaker's next cinematic spectacle, which is scheduled for worldwide release on July 17, 2026. The Odyssey Bookings Open on June 8 in IMAX in India (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Indian audiences will now get their chance to reserve seats beginning June 8 through participating IMAX theatres and ticketing platforms.

Every 100 Crore Telugu Opener Worldwide; Ram Charan's Peddi Joins Prabhas Dominated List

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, June 5 - Superstar Ram Charan has added another major milestone to his career with Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports action drama stormed past the coveted 100 crore worldwide gross mark on its opening day, becoming the 11th Telugu film to achieve the feat. The film earned around 110 crore worldwide on Day 1, including more than 82 crore from India and approximately 28 crore from overseas markets. The 100 crores opening day achievement further cements Telugu cinema's dominance in the pan-Indian market, where event films have consistently delivered massive opening-day numbers over the last decade. What started with Baahubali 2 in 2017 has now become a benchmark for the industry's biggest releases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prabhas Continues To Rule The List One of the most striking aspects of the elite club is the overwhelming presence of Pan India superstar Prabhas. The actor headlines six of the eleven films on the list, with Baahubali 2, Saaho, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD, and The Raja Saab. No other Telugu actor, or say an Indian actor, comes close to matching that level of representation. Prabhas' consistent ability to deliver record-breaking openings across genres has made him the undisputed king of opening-day box-office records in Indian cinema. The remaining entries belong to some of the industry's biggest stars, including Ram Charan (RRR and Peddi), Jr NTR (RRR and Devara), Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2), and Pawan Kalyan (They Call Him OG). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) ₹100 Crore Telugu Openers Worldwide (Highest to Lowest) Rank Movie Lead Actor(s) Opening Day Worldwide GBOC 1 Pushpa 2 Allu Arjun ₹ 275.00 Cr 2 RRR Jr. NTR / Ram Charan ₹ 223.00 Cr 3 Baahubali 2 Prabhas ₹ 217.00 Cr 4 Kalki 2898 AD Prabhas ₹ 177.70 Cr 5 Salaar Part 1 Prabhas ₹ 158.10 Cr 6 They Call Him OG Pawan Kalyan ₹ 144.00 Cr 7 Devara Jr. NTR ₹ 142.00 Cr 8 Saaho Prabhas ₹ 130.00 Cr 9 Adipurush Prabhas ₹ 127.50 Cr 10 Peddi Ram Charan ₹ 110.50 Cr 11 The Raja Saab Prabhas ₹ 100.60 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Major Milestone For Ram Charan For Ram Charan, Peddi marks a particularly significant achievement. While RRR had previously crossed the 100 crore worldwide opening-day mark, it was a multi-starrer alongside Jr NTR and backed by the massive brand value of director S. S. Rajamouli. Peddi becomes Charan's first solo-led film to enter the coveted club, proving his box office strength outside of franchise and multi-starrer setups. The opening also comes as a major boost for the actor following the disappointing theatrical performance of Game Changer earlier last year.

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, June 4 - Superstar Ram Charan has delivered a thunderous start at the box office with Peddi, as the sports action drama has grossed over 100 crore worldwide on its opening day. The film has emerged as one of the biggest openers in Telugu cinema history and has become the 11th Telugu film to achieve the coveted ₹100 crore worldwide opening-day milestone. Strong Momentum From Premiere Shows (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early estimates, Peddi has earned more than 80 crore gross in India on its first day, with Telugu states contributing around 67 crore, including premieres. The film witnessed exceptional occupancy across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while Karnataka and other markets also contributed significantly to the overall tally. The overseas territories added another 28-30 crore gross, taking the film's worldwide opening-day collection around 110 crore. The strong international performance was led by North America, where the film enjoyed an excellent response at the premieres and on day 1. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The blockbuster opening was aided by the film's stellar premiere performance. Peddi had already grossed around 40 crore worldwide from preview shows, including approximately 18.50 crore from the Telugu states and 3.10 crore from Karnataka. The film also recorded more than $1.5 million in North America from premiere screenings alone, indicating strong demand ahead of its official release. 11th Telugu Film To Achieve 100+ Crore Opening With its massive first-day haul, Peddi has entered an exclusive league of Telugu blockbusters that have crossed 100 crore worldwide on the opening day. Since Baahubali 2 became the first 100 crores opener of Indian cinema, there have been a total of 11 Telugu films, including Peddi, to score a 100 crores worldwide start. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The achievement highlights Ram Charan's box-office pull and marks one of the biggest openings of his career. The result is particularly significant for the actor as it comes after the disappointing theatrical performance of Game Changer, reaffirming his status as one of Telugu cinema's biggest stars. The initial word of mouth for Peddi seems to be positive, and with a worldwide opening of 110 crore, the film has laid a solid foundation for a huge opening weekend. The coming days will determine how far the film can capitalise on its extraordinary start and progress towards its long-term box-office goals.

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has officially cemented its status as one of the biggest cinematic events in Indian history. Following the massive success of the first installment, the sequel has not only met but exceeded the high expectations set by fans. With a gripping narrative and high-octane action, the film has managed to sustain its theatrical run for over eleven weeks, a feat that is rarely seen in today’s fast-paced box office environment. As the movie enters its twelfth weekend, all eyes are on a major domestic milestone that is now just a few lakhs away. The journey of this sequel has shown how much staying power a film can have when the audience connects with the content. After a massive start in its opening week, the movie has maintained a consistent presence in theaters across the country. Currently, the cumulative India net collection stands at 1,149.02 crore, which means the project is now less than a crore away from hitting the 1,150 crore milestone. It is highly likely that this target will be reached before the end of the following week. To see the progression of these numbers over time, here is the week-wise net collection breakdown: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Week 1 - ₹ 674.17 Cr Week 2 - ₹ 263.65 Cr Week 3 - ₹ 110.60 Cr Week 4 - ₹ 54.70 Cr Week 5 - ₹ 19.52 Cr Week 6 - ₹ 12.45 Cr Week 7 - ₹ 5.58 Cr Week 8 - ₹ 3.89 Cr Week 9 - ₹ 2.19 Cr Week 10 - ₹ 1.45 Cr Week 11 - ₹0.82 Cr Even in its eleventh week, the film continued to draw audiences, particularly in the Hindi belt which remains its strongest territory. The Hindi version alone has contributed over 1,080 crore to the total net. During Week 11, the film added another 0.82 crore to its tally. While the numbers are naturally smaller at this stage, the fact that it is still running across 233 shows on its 77th day shows the level of interest that still exists. The national chains also saw over 7,300 ticket sales during the eleventh week. Here is the daily performance for the most recent week: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar 2 India Net Collection - Week 11DAYNET COLLECTIONSHOWSDay 72 (11th Friday)₹ 0.10 Cr203Day 73 (11th Saturday)₹ 0.20 Cr225Day 74 (11th Sunday)₹ 0.20 Cr233Day 75 (11th Monday)₹ 0.08 Cr235Day 76 (11th Tuesday)₹ 0.10 Cr239Day 77 (11th Wednesday)₹ 0.07 Cr233Day 78 (12th Thursday)₹ 0.07 Cr174TOTAL WEEK 11₹ 0.82 Cr1,542 The occupancy trends for the week remained remarkably healthy for a film already in its third month of release.

Bhooth Bangla Week 7 Box Office: Film Adds Rs. 4.40 Crore Net Showing Great Longevity; Worldwide Total Reaches Rs. 268 Crore

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Bhooth Bangla has turned out to be a marathon runner at the box office, proving that the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan was exactly what the horror-comedy genre needed. While many high-profile releases tend to exhaust their theatrical potential fairly quickly, this film is currently navigating its seventh week with a level of stability that stands out in the current market. The light-hearted treatment combined with nostalgic appeal has allowed it to find a permanent home in theaters, especially among family audiences who have kept the ticket windows busy long after the initial hype subsided. As we look at the numbers for the seventh week, the film managed to pull in a net collection of 4.40 crore. While this is a slight step down from the 5.45 crore it earned in its sixth week, the hold is remarkable considering the number of new releases it has faced. On its 49th day, which fell on a Thursday, the movie collected 0.35 crore. This represents a 30 percent drop from the previous day's collection of 0.50 crore, a trend that is quite normal for a film at this stage of its theatrical life. So far, the total India net collection stands at a solid 181.30 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The global performance of Bhooth Bangla has also been a major contributor to its success story. With an India gross of 214.73 crore and an overseas contribution of 53.75 crore, the film has officially reached a worldwide gross of 268.48 crore. This has been achieved across a massive 242,341 shows since its opening day.

This was achieved across a total of 10,453 shows scheduled during these seven days. Significant spikes were noted on Sunday and Tuesday, where occupancy hit the 18 percent mark, reflecting a solid result for a film nearing its fiftieth day in theaters. Even on other weekdays, the numbers remained stable between 10 to 11 percent. This consistent performance across a high volume of shows highlights how the film has become a reliable choice for audiences looking for a casual theatrical experience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The engagement on digital booking platforms remains steady as well. During the seventh week, the film saw consistent ticket sales on BookMyShow, totaling over 3.3 million cumulative bookings since the release. In the national cinema chains, the film recorded over 15,700 ticket sales for the week alone, showing that it still has a presence in premium multiplexes.

In Ahmedabad, the occupancy stood at 5.8 percent for 74 shows, with the evening and night shows generally performing better than the morning slots. This consistent interest across major territories suggests that the film is not just fading away but is gradually concluding its run with dignity. As it moves into its eighth week, Bhooth Bangla has already secured its position as one of the most successful and durable films of 2026.
