Karuppu mints healthy returns in 33 days!
Karuppu was made on an estimated budget of 130 crore, and has earned 197.26 crore net so far. So, in 33 days, the film has recorded a return on investment (ROI) of 67.26 crore. Calculated further, it equals 51.73% returns. As per Koimoi’s parameters, it has secured a plus verdict at the Indian box office.
To secure a hit verdict, Karuppu must make 100% returns, which will be achieved at a net collection of 260 crore. Since scoring 260 crore net is impossible, the Suriya starrer won’t secure a hit verdict at the Indian box office.
