Unforeseen Circumstances Forced Makers To Postpone The Release Of Prabhu Deva-Starrer 'Thael'

Chennai, December 7 - It looks like the South Indian film industry is dealing with so-called unforeseen circumstances, which is making the filmmakers delay their movies.





Recently, a couple of Telugu and Tamil films, including Keerthy Suresh's "Good Luck Sakhi" got postponed due to unknown reasons, and now, Prabhu Deva-starrer Tamil movie "Thael" is getting the same treatment.





Directed by Harikumar, "Thael", which features Prabhu Deva and Samyuktha Hegde in the leading roles, has been postponed and the new date will be announced soon. Studio Green Productions, the production house that has produced the action thriller, said in a statement that the release of Thael had been postponed because of "unforeseen situations".





"Thael", which means 'scorpion' in Tamil, was originally scheduled to hit screens on December 10. The film has music by C. Sathya and cinematography by Vignesh Vasu. It has been edited by National Award winner K.L. Praveen.





Interestingly, Prabhu Deva, who is known for his dancing skills, does not have a single dance number in this film. The movie also stars Eshwari Rao, Yogi Babu, and others in key roles. Meanwhile, the delay of Deva's film has saddened his fans who wished to see him again on big screens, and they are also worried that continuous delay can make the film skip its theatrical release.





Stay tuned...

Karuppu Day 32 Box Office: Surprising Hold After OTT Release; Needs Under 3 Crore for the 200 Crore Net Milestone

BY SACNILK

Karuppu is now in its fifth week of release, and the film is still pulling in numbers despite arriving on OTT this past Friday. While digital releases often slow down theater attendance, the movie recorded a gross of ₹0.23 crore on its 32nd day, with the net collection at ₹0.20 crore. This pushes the total India gross collection to ₹227.87 crore. The weekend performance remained steady even after the digital release. On Saturday, the movie grossed ₹0.75 crore, and on Sunday, it saw a jump to ₹0.92 crore. Maintaining a gross collection of ₹0.23 crore on a working Monday suggests that a section of the audience still prefers the big-screen experience. The film has now reached an India net total of ₹197.17 crore. With less than ₹3 crore left to hit the ₹200 crore net milestone, it seems likely that Karuppu will achieve this during its theatrical run if it maintains this pace. On the global front, the film has been a massive winner. It has gathered an overseas gross of ₹81.15 crore so far. Combined with the domestic earnings, the total worldwide gross collection now stands at ₹309.02 crore. Across its entire run, the film has been showcased in over 1,01,969 shows, cementing its status as one of the most successful releases of the year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the performance in national cinema chains on Day 32, the numbers remained modest but consistent. In the major chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film sold approximately 1,100 tickets, resulting in a total gross of ₹1.12 lakh with an overall occupancy of about 10 percent. Breaking this down, PVR accounted for 660 tickets with a gross of ₹0.70 lakh. INOX followed with 360 tickets and a gross of ₹0.33 lakh, while Cinepolis contributed 80 tickets with a gross of ₹0.09 lakh. The film popularity is also reflected in its final ticket sales on BookMyShow. It has managed to secure a spot among the all-time greats in recent Tamil cinema. Here is how it ranks in terms of final ticket sales on the platform: 1. Jailer - 9.21M 2. Leo - 7.30M 3. Coolie - 6.09M 4. Amaran - 4.89M 5. The GOAT - 4.51M 6. Karuppu - 4.50M The focus now remains on the ₹200 crore net milestone in India. With the current total standing at ₹197.17 crore, the film is approximately ₹2.83 crore away from this target. Given that it is still drawing an audience to theaters even after its digital release, reaching this mark appears feasible if the current daily pace continues through the week.

Karuppu has wrapped up its fourth week at the box office, hitting the 300 crore worldwide milestone just as it arrives on OTT platforms today, June 12. With this achievement, Suriya joins an exclusive group of Tamil stars, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Joseph Vijay, and Sivakarthikeyan, who have scaled this collection height. Analyzing the fourth-week performance, Karuppu showed remarkable resilience for a film that has already been playing for nearly a month. The week began on a steady note on Day 22 and saw a massive surge during the weekend, with Day 23 and Day 24 recording growth of 77.1 percent and 19 percent respectively. Even as it hit the weekdays, the drops were well-managed, finishing the week with a cumulative India gross of 6.68 crore. Globally, the film has now reached a staggering worldwide gross of 306.47 crore, supported by an impressive overseas contribution of 80.90 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) One of the most impressive data points comes from the Month 1 Tamil Net rankings. Karuppu has officially moved up the ladder, collecting a net of 166 crore in its first month within the Tamil version. In doing so, it has surpassed the 164 crore record set by Amaran at the same time. This placement puts it among the most successful Tamil films of recent years, trailing only behind heavyweights like Leo, Jailer, and The Greatest of All Time. This level of sustained interest across four weeks is a clear indicator of the strong word-of-mouth the film enjoyed.

Domestically, the theater occupancy remained quite healthy for a film in its fourth week of running. While the weekend saw peaks of over 35 percent, the average occupancy for the entire week settled at a respectable 22.4 percent.

As the curtains fall on its theatrical run with a worldwide gross of 306.47 crore and a total India net of 195.18 crore, the film enters the digital space with its head held high. For Suriya fans, this is more than just a box office success; it is a long-awaited milestone that places their favorite star alongside the biggest names in South Indian cinema. With the movie now available for streaming, its reach is set to expand even further, capping off what has been a truly phenomenal journey at the ticket windows.

Karuppu Day 26 Box Office: Suriya Starrer Makes History As His First Film To Cross Over $8M Overseas

BY SACNILK

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. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The regional performance breakdown highlights how well the film has been received across various states. Tamil Nadu remains the primary engine of growth, contributing a staggering ₹154.91 Cr to the total gross. The film also found a solid footing in the APTG region with ₹32.39 Cr and in Karnataka with ₹21.31 Cr. Kerala added ₹12.99 Cr to the tally, while the Rest of India contributed ₹3.06 Cr. These numbers reflect a well-distributed performance that has allowed the film to sustain itself for so long across 896 shows on Day 26 alone. Looking at the performance in national cinema chains for Tuesday, the tracked data shows a consistent trend. PVR led the contributions with approximately ₹1.3 Lakhs from 57 shows. INOX followed with around ₹0.9 Lakhs from 29 shows, and Cinepolis added roughly ₹0.2 Lakhs from 17 shows.

On Day 26, the film added ₹0.10 Cr from overseas markets, bringing the total international gross to ₹80.80 Cr (approximately $8.48M).

Key contributions came from the Middle East at $1.72M and North America at $1.40M.

Karuppu Day 25 Box Office: BMS Ticket Sales Touch 4.47 Million; Just 40,000 Tickets Away From Entering The All-Time Top 5 List

BY SACNILK

Karuppu is now entering its fourth week of theatrical release, and as it reaches Day 25, the focus has largely moved from its daily earnings toward the overall milestones it is approaching. While daily numbers naturally slow down during a long theatrical run, the film's sustained performance has put it in a position where it is now chasing significant records on digital booking platforms. The interest levels remain steady enough to suggest that the film is still a point of discussion as it heads toward its final phase in cinemas. Looking at the ticket sales data from BookMyShow, the numbers reveal a high level of sustained engagement. Starting with a pre-sale of 75,000 tickets, the film enjoyed a massive first week with over 2.8 million tickets sold. While the volume has naturally tapered, the fourth weekend showed surprising resilience. Here is the detailed breakdown of the ticket sales trajectory so far: Pre Sales- 75K 1st Week- 2.85M 2nd Week- 1.10M 3rd Week- 374K 4th Friday- 15.38K 4th Saturday- 32.22K 4th Sunday- 26.1K 4th Monday- 6.79K Total Tickets Sold- 4,473,790 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With a cumulative total of approximately 4.47 million tickets sold on the platform, Karuppu is now on the verge of joining the elite top 5 list of Tamil cinema. It is currently trailing the fifth-placed film, The GOAT, by roughly 40,000 tickets. Entering this list would be a major achievement, though time is of the essence. The film is scheduled to premiere on OTT on June 12, which typically slows down theatrical ticket movement. Whether it can bridge this small gap in the next few days is the main point of interest for now.

This latest addition brings the total India net to 193.93 crore and the domestic gross to 224.15 crore. Internationally, the film added 0.10 crore on Monday, taking the total overseas gross to 80.70 crore.

INOX followed with about 1,000 tickets sold for a gross of 1.2 lakhs, while Cinepolis contributed a gross of around 25,000 from 200 tickets. Regionally, Chennai reported a healthy occupancy of 29.3 percent on Monday, while Coimbatore saw 22 percent occupancy, showing that the core audience in Tamil Nadu is still showing up for shows. As the film approaches its digital premiere, its theatrical run has already established it as a significant commercial success. The journey from a strong opening to crossing the 300-crore worldwide milestone reflects the broad appeal the story has had across markets. While the OTT release on June 12 might bring the theatrical curtains down, the potential to enter the all-time top 5 ticket sales list remains a possibility over the coming days.

Suriya has delivered a truly compelling performance in Karuppu, a film that brilliantly blends fantasy action with a biting social commentary. Directed by RJ Balaji, the story follows the guardian deity Vettai Karuppu as he descends to Earth in the form of a lawyer to dismantle a predatory legal system that exploits marginalized citizens. This unique premise, especially the high-octane god mode sequences, has kept audiences thrilled in theaters. RJ Balaji has taken a more serious approach with this film compared to his previous work, and this change seems to be working well . Analyzing the cumulative data for the fourth weekend, the film has shown the kind of resilience usually reserved for all-time blockbusters. Between Friday and Sunday, Karuppu maintained a strong presence with a total of 2,893 shows nationwide. The cumulative net collection for these three days stood at 4.05 Crore, a remarkable figure for a film in its 24th day. This was supported by a healthy average weekend occupancy of nearly 29 percent, with Sunday peaking at approximately 36 percent, proving that the rural connect is still pulling families to the big screen.

Karuppu has now become one of the few films in 2026 to successfully enter the prestigious 300 Crore worldwide club. It joins an elite list of blockbusters that have hit this milestone this year, including Dhurandhar The Revenge, Border 2, and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.

In the Telugu states (APTG), the film added a cumulative gross of 0.29 Crore over the three-day period. The home territory of Tamil Nadu remained the strongest contributor by far, bringing in a solid 4.10 Crore during the weekend. Karnataka and Kerala followed with contributions of 0.20 Crore and 0.07 Crore respectively. This combined weekend performance from the South, totaling 4.66 Crore in gross collections, has been the primary driver in pushing the total India gross to 223.55 Crore and its worldwide standing past the 304 Crore mark. The footfalls remain incredibly steady, as seen on BookMyShow where the weekend saw nearly 73,700 tickets sold (15.38K on Friday, 32.22K on Saturday, and 26.1K on Sunday).

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.

Karuppu Week 3 Box Office: Film Hits 150 Crore in Tamil Nadu; Eyes 300 Crore Worldwide After Recording 2nd Best 3rd Week in Kollywood

BY SACNILK

Karuppu has been a standout performer in the Tamil film industry since its release, and its journey into the third week shows that the film still has plenty of gas in the tank. Directed with a gritty vision and led by a powerhouse performance, the movie has resonated deeply with the masses, particularly in the rural and semi-urban pockets of Tamil Nadu. It is not just about the star power; the emotional core of the film has allowed it to maintain a steady grip on the box office, even as new releases attempt to take over the screen space. As we wrap up the third week, the film is now on the verge of entering the elite 300 crore club, a feat that very few Tamil films have achieved in recent times. The stability of Karuppu is best reflected in its cumulative third-week net collection. According to data from Sacnilk, the film earned 18.30 crore in its third week from the Tamil version alone. This performance is significant because it places Karuppu as the second-highest third-week earner in Kollywood history, trailing only behind the massive numbers of Jailer. It managed to outperform several recent big-budget blockbusters, proving that the word-of-mouth remains exceptionally strong. Here is a look at the all-time highest third-week net collections in the Tamil film industry: 1. Jailer - ₹ 22.20 Cr 2. Karuppu - ₹ 18.30 Cr 3. Amaran - ₹ 17.49 Cr 4. The Greatest Of All Time - ₹ 14.17 Cr 5. Leo - ₹ 13.68 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The regional breakdown of the third-week gross collections shows exactly how the film is maintaining its momentum, bringing in a total of 24.34 crore from across Indian territories this week. Tamil Nadu continues to be the primary engine, contributing 18.60 crore gross, which pushes the state total collection to 149.90 crore. The Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana follow as the second strongest territory for the week, adding 3.43 crore in gross for a cumulative total of 31.96 crore in that region. Other regions have also contributed to the steady climb during this period. Karnataka added 1.41 crore this week for a total gross of 21.07 crore, while Kerala and the rest of India saw gross additions of 0.75 crore and 0.15 crore respectively. These combined contributions have pushed the total India gross collection to 218.89 crore. When looking at the net figures, the overall India net collection stands at 189.35 crore, which has been earned across a massive 93,634 shows since the film first hit the screens. As the film reaches the 150 crore milestone in Tamil Nadu, its position on the all-time charts becomes a major talking point. By hitting this mark, Karuppu has successfully climbed to the 8th spot among the highest-grossing films in the state's history. In this process, it has surpassed the lifetime Tamil Nadu collections of major hits like Coolie (₹ 147.15 Cr), Varisu (₹ 142.54 Cr), and Bigil (₹ 141.1 Cr). The film is now chasing Good Bad Ugly (₹ 152 Cr), and given its current trajectory, it is expected to move past that figure by its fourth weekend. While Leo (₹ 213.62 Cr) remains safely at the top, the steady climb of Karuppu into the top 10 is a testament to its long-term theatrical appeal.

Over the course of the third week, Karuppu saw a total of 4.39 million tickets booked on the platform, narrowly missing a spot in the top five all-time highest ticket sales list. During the third week alone, the film maintained a healthy flow of bookings, especially during the weekend. To understand the daily trend throughout the week, let us look at the BookMyShow ticket sales data: 3rd Friday - 76.54K 3rd Saturday - 113.6K 3rd Sunday - 98.61K 3rd Monday - 27.26K 3rd Tuesday - 27.26K 3rd Wednesday - 17.57K 3rd Thursday - 13.44K (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national cinema chains, the film recorded over 101,800 ticket sales for the week, which is a solid number for a third-week run. However, the film did see a noticeable dip as it approached the end of the week. On Day 21 (Thursday), the collection stood at 0.90 crore, which is a 41.9 percent drop compared to the previous day’s 1.55 crore. Despite this mid-week slowdown, the overall health of the film remains positive. On the international front, Karuppu added 0.25 crore on its 21st day, bringing the total overseas gross to 79.50 crore. Currently, the worldwide gross for Karuppu stands at 298.39 crore. This leaves the film just less than 2 crore shy of achieving the 300 crore milestone. Given the trend of an uptick in collections during the weekends, it is a certainty that the film will cross this major benchmark within the next 48 hours. Reaching 300 crore worldwide is a massive achievement for the cast and crew, solidifying the film's status as a genuine blockbuster. As it enters its fourth week, the focus will be on how much further it can push its lifetime total before the next set of major releases arrives.

Karuppu Box Office Day 19: Steady 3rd Tuesday Hold; Needs 5 Crore More for Suriya's First 300 Crore Movie

BY SACNILK

It is quite impressive to see how Karuppu is maintaining its grip at the box office even as it nears the end of its third week. For a film to keep the momentum going on its nineteenth day is a clear sign of solid word-of-mouth. On its third Tuesday, the movie managed to pull in nearly 2.35 Crore in India gross collections. Such a hold on a weekday is a hallmark of a successful run, especially in the South where gross numbers truly reflect the theatrical footprint. This brings the total India gross to approximately 216 Crore, showing that the film is steadily building its legacy as a major commercial success. When we break down the performance by language, the Tamil version continues to be the primary driver, contributing around 1.65 Crore on Day 19. The Telugu version also added a decent 0.40 Crore to the tally. The film was screened across roughly 3,000 shows on Tuesday, maintaining an overall occupancy of about 19 percent for the Tamil version and 17 percent for the Telugu version. These numbers reflect a loyal audience base that is still turning up in theaters despite several newer releases being available. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the regional performance, Chennai remains the stronghold for Karuppu. The city saw an overall occupancy of nearly 26 percent across more than 400 shows, with night screenings performing even better at around 31 percent. Other regions like Coimbatore and Vizag are also showing healthy trends, with occupancies hovering around 20 percent and 18 percent respectively. Even in Hyderabad, the film managed to stay relevant with over 250 shows, proving its appeal across different states. The ticket sales data further supports this steady trend. On BookMyShow alone, the film managed to sell around 27,300 tickets on its third Tuesday, which is a solid number for this stage of its theatrical run. When we look closer at the national multiplex chains, they played a massive role in this volume, accounting for over 26,750 tickets in total. PVR led the way by selling approximately 18,400 tickets across 220 shows, maintaining a healthy occupancy of about 32 percent. INOX also contributed significantly with around 7,000 tickets sold from 105 shows at an occupancy of 27 percent. Meanwhile, Cinepolis added another 1,350 tickets from 40 shows with occupancy hovering near 16 percent. Karuppu is right on the doorstep of a Noteworthy achievement. The total worldwide gross has now climbed to approximately 295 Crore, fueled by a strong India gross of nearly 216 Crore and an overseas performance that has contributed about 79 Crore. With just 5 Crore left to hit the monumental 300 Crore mark and two more days still to go in its third week, the film is perfectly on track to reach this milestone before entering its fourth week. It is a significant feat that firmly establishes the movie as one of the standout commercial hits of the year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this run even more interesting is how Karuppu compares to other big-ticket films during their third week. Its third Tuesday performance has landed it a spot among the top five highest-collecting movies in Kollywood for that specific day. It is interesting to note that this list includes a mix of home-grown Tamil hits and successful dubbed versions from other industries like Kannada, highlighting how competitive the current box office landscape has become.
