Since the release of Anjaan in 2014, Suriya had been struggling to make a mark at the box office with one dud after another.

All his recent movies be it Kanguva, Retro, Etharkkum Thunindhavan, Kaappaan and NGK failed to make a mark at the box office and unfortunately two of his most-loved movies - Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim went straight to OTT.

But that changes now with his latest release Karuppu directed by RJ Balaji.

Also starring Trisha Krishnan, Karuppu has turned out to be a major box office success for Suriya and became his second biggest grosser in just three days of release.

Karuppu Hits Rs 120 Crore Plus In Just 3 Days

The movie opened to Rs 15.50 crore on day one, Rs 24.15 crore on day two and Rs 28.35 crore on day three taking its domestic net total to Rs 68 crore (Rs 78.75 crore gross).

The movie additionally made Rs 42 crore internationally for a worldwide opening weekend total of Rs 120.75 crore, as per Sacnilk.

This makes Karuppu second only to Singam 2 which released in 2013.

And by the time you’ll read this, Karuppu will have crossed Singam 2 lifetime biz in less than four days to become the top grossing movie of Suriya’s career.

Check out top 5 Suriya grossers below:

• Singam 2 (2013) - Rs 124 crore

• Karuppu (2026) - Rs 120.75 crore (3-day biz)

• 24 (2016) - Rs 118 crore

• Singam 3 (2017) - Rs 113 crore

• Kanguva (2024) - Rs 106.64 crore

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Struggles With Poor Numbers

The major Hindi release of the week, Mudassar Aziz’s Pati Patni Aur Woh Do starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rakul Preet opened to Rs 3.85 crore on day one and went on to make Rs 5.50 crore on day two and Rs 7.25 crore on day three.

The movie’s opening weekend total now stands at Rs 16.60 crore as per Pinkvilla.

Considering the word of mouth is mixed, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do may find it tough at the box office and may not even hit Rs 50 crore in its lifetime run.

The previous movie in the franchise collected around Rs 90 crore back in 2019 in India.
