But apart from discussing personal life, ‘Karuppu’ is mainly being appreciated for its story and production style.

Director RJ Balaji’s ‘Karuppu’ has been pushed back several times before its release. It was initially planned to release in Diwali 2025, but it got pushed back due to post-production complications. Later the release was postponed due to the Tamil Nadu elections.

In the week of release, new crises were created. A few shows were canceled due to the financial complications of the producers and financiers, leading to anger among the audience. Many complained on social media that the show was canceled even after booking tickets.

In this situation, the director writes on social media, this movie is facing obstacles from the beginning. I am here after 32 months of struggle, I hope everything will be alright.

One of the highlights of ‘Karuppu’ was Suriya and Trisha’s reunion. After the 2005 ‘Aru’, this is the first time that this popular couple was seen together on the screen.

Trisha plays the role of lawyer Preeti in the film, while Suriya gradually emerges as Sarabanan, a mysterious power symbol. In the story he is presented as a modern counterpart of the folk god Karuppasamy.

The story revolves around a father and daughter who fight for justice in court for years but fail. Their lives become more complicated due to a corrupt lawyer. Director RJ Balaji himself is in that role. Read more Read more Kaya-Tausif story coming ‘Finally you come’

After its release, ‘Karuppu’ is receiving quite a positive response. According to viewers, it’s not just action—it’s a story of social injustice, abuse of power and legal complications.

Critics particularly praised the cinematography, background music and Suriya’s performance. Music director Sai Abhayankar’s background score and cinematographer GK Vishnu’s work are also being appreciated.

Trisha’s performance has also garnered praise. His restrained and emotional performance especially in the court scene is catching the attention of the audience. However, there has also been some criticism of the length of the second half.

Meanwhile, the film earned around Rs 72 crore from advance ticket sales before its release. Most of the shows were housefull on the first day.

According to trade analysts, earnings could have been higher had the release not been tangled. However, the film held good positions over the weekend. Due to the popularity of the Suriya-Trisha duo, the film has created interest outside South India.

Along with the movie, Trisha’s personal buzz is also in discussion. Recently her appearance at one of Vijay’s events, meeting Vijay’s mother and a couple of viral videos fueled speculations of a renewed relationship.

Trisha’s hilarious reaction to a fan’s comment after the premiere also went viral on social media.

Although no one has officially spoken about the relationship, many believe that the rumor has added to the film’s promotion.
