Karuppu Box Office Collection Day 1: South star Suriya and Trisha Krishnan’s much-awaited film Karuppu finally hit the screens after a last-minute delay. The movie was originally scheduled to release on May 14, and there was even approval from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay for morning shows. However, due to some unforeseen reasons, the makers had to postpone the release. Director RJ Balaji and the producers informed fans about the delay through social media.
The audiences maintain their high excitement level despite the minor setback. The first day box office collection for Karuppu in India is expected to reach 1.7 crore which equals approximately $1.7 million, according to initial reports. The film had its first day showing in 1,180 performances throughout 505 cities which resulted in 25.5% attendance according to Sacnilk. The evening screenings attracted more audience members while several shows reached full capacity.
