After a long time, Suriya scored a proper hit with Karuppu. The film has collected around Rs. 250 crores so far globally, and is inching towards the Rs. 300 crore club. Its Telugu dubbed version, Veera Bhadrudu, has also sprung a surprise with its box office performance.
After 24, this is the first instance of a Suriya film faring well in the Telugu states. As of now, the dubbed version has earned Rs. 25 crores gross reportedly, and is expected to collect a little over Rs. 30 crores gross in its full run.
What makes this performance surprising is that the movie was neither heavily promoted in Telugu nor did it receive positive reviews. Veera Bhadrudu is set to enjoy an open ground in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana until the arrival of Ram Charan’s Peddi.
