Top Highest Grossing Films starring Suriya in India: Karuppu tops in five days surpassing Singam 2
The film is far from done, and by the end of its run, it will be well over Rs. 200 crore, more than twice the previous best.
Karuppu has emerged as the top-grossing film for Suriya in India, with the film grossing Rs. 108.50 crore in its first five days of release. To take the first place, it has surpassed the longstanding, thirteen-year-old Singam 2. The film is far from done, and by the end of its run, it will be well over Rs. 200 crore, more than twice the previous best.
Suriya enjoyed a phenomenal run during the late 2000s and early 2010s. He delivered multiple major grossers on the go, with the likes of Ayan, Singam, 7 Aum Arivu and then peaked with Singam 2. Adjusted for inflation, all of these films would comfortably stand above the Rs. 200 crore mark today. Unfortunately, that was followed by a rough phase of over a decade, during which films didn’t even come close to Singam 2, despite the business in general growing manifold. In the list below, the second and third place belong to films from 2013 and 2011, which is not good in a market with a high inflation rate and an actor having a good volume of releases.
Karuppu has marked the end of the drought, and Suriya has not only beaten those films in raw terms but will be matching or possibly exceeding them inflation-adjusted as well. The timing of this resurgence could not be better for the Tamil film industry. Vijay has stepped away from cinema to pursue politics. Rajinikanth is old, and Ajith isn’t too prolific either, with interest in a racing career. In such times, the rebound of Suriya is a godsend, as the industry is in dire need of big stars to headline big films.
