Karuppu 4th Weekend Box Office: Suriya Starrer Joins All-Time Top 10 Kollywood Grossers with 224 Cr Total India Gross

BY SACNILK

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. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Karuppu 4th Weekend India Collection (Early Estimates) DAY INDIA NET INDIA GROSS Day 22 (4th Friday) ₹ 0.83 Cr ₹ 0.95 Cr Day 23 (4th Saturday) ₹ 1.47 Cr ₹ 1.69 Cr Day 24 (4th Sunday) ₹ 1.75 Cr ₹ 2.01 Cr 4th Weekend Total ₹ 4.05 Cr ₹ 4.65 Cr Looking at the global picture, the fourth weekend alone added 0.60 Crore from the overseas market, taking the total international gross to 80.60 Crore. When combined with the massive India gross of 223.54 Crore, the worldwide total has officially surged past the monumental 300 Crore mark, currently standing at 304.14 Crore. 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. While the film has faced competition, its ability to breach this mark so late in its run confirms its status as a genuine commercial success. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Karuppu entering the all-time charts, here is the list of the Top 10 Kollywood movies based on the data provided, featuring their India Gross: 2.0: ₹ 519 Cr Leo: ₹ 402 Cr Jailer: ₹ 409 Cr Coolie: ₹ 338 Cr Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1: ₹ 313 Cr The Greatest of All Time: ₹ 297 Cr Vikram: ₹ 289 Cr Ponniyin Selvan - Part 2: ₹ 215 Cr Amaran: ₹ 254 Cr Karuppu: ₹ 224 Cr The regional breakdown for the fourth weekend highlights how Karuppu has maintained a consistent presence across the Southern circuit. 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). This brings the cumulative BMS ticket sales to a staggering 44.67 lakhs for its entire run. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis also reported robust numbers for the fourth weekend, contributing over 22,900 tickets on Sunday alone. PVR led the charge with roughly 7,800 tickets, followed by INOX with 1,800 and Cinepolis with 900. As it heads into the Day 25 Monday test, the film aims for the 200 Crore India net milestone, a target that now seems well within reach given this weekend's momentum.

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.

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.

Mumbai, May 25 - The Indian box office was heavily tilted towards regional cinema during the May 22-24 weekend, with the strong debut Malayalam blockbuster Drishyam 3 and Marathi film Deool Band 2, as regional films comfortably outperformed Bollywood releases for the second weekend in a row. On top of that, Suriya's Karuppu continued to attract strong footfalls in the second weekend, also after the blockbuster opening frame. Drishyam 3 Continues Franchise Legacy With Blockbuster Debut (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The third instalment in director Jeethu Joseph's crime thriller franchise once again stayed true to the franchise legacy after an excellent opening weekend at the Indian box office. After the huge opening day upon its Thursday release, Drishyam 3 continued its phenomenal run across Kerala and other domestic markets over the weekend despite mixed word of mouth. Drishyam 3 continued to benefit from the franchise value as Drishyam 3 is easily the biggest film series to come out of Malayalam cinema. It scored the second biggest opening day, followed by the second biggest weekend for a Malayalam trend, and advances for Monday indicate that the film is up for a solid run, especially in Kerala.

Chand Mera Dil Underperforms As Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Holds Steady Dharma Production's romantic drama, Chand Mera Dil, starring Lakshya and Ananya Panday, failed to generate the expected theatrical momentum. Despite a decent, visible promotional campaign, the film struggled against the dominance of regional cinema due to mixed word of mouth. Although there was some improvement over the weekend, the overall box office performance remained below expectations. Ayushmann Khurrana's romantic-comedy entertainer, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do managed to maintain a decent hold on low levels during the weekend, especially in multiplex-heavy urban centres.
