After storming into theatres, Suriya’s latest fantasy actioner Karuppu has shattered its previous benchmarks, vaulting past the ₹250 crore mark worldwide in just 11 days. With audiences rallying behind RJ Balaji’s ambitious directorial, this blockbuster is now hunting down established Tamil heavyweights.

Day 11 Box Office Milestone

Latest trade reports reveal Karuppu has raked in a staggering ₹250.6 crore global gross. Domestically, the film has amassed ₹182.6 crore, while overseas circuits (North America, UK, UAE and more) contributed ₹68 crore. This achievement marks Suriya’s first brush with the ₹250 crore club, more than doubling his earlier peak of ₹122.8 crore set by Singam 2.

Surpassing Sarkar and Mersal

Today, Karuppu comfortably outpaces Thalapathy Vijay’s Sarkar (₹253 crore) and Mersal (₹259 crore), putting RJ Balaji’s directorial on track to rewrite box office records. The film’s relentless momentum and glowing word-of-mouth hint that this is just the beginning of its upward journey.

Chasing the Top 10 Tamil Grossers

Though Karuppu sits atop the 2026 Tamil box office, cracking the all-time top 10 demands entry into the elusive ₹300 crore club. The benchmark sits at Varisu’s ₹300.98 crore worldwide haul, meaning Suriya’s fantasy epic needs another surge of around ₹50 crore to seal its place among the legends.

What Lies Ahead?
