South Indian superstars Suriya and Trisha Krishnan’s big release Karuppu has opened in cinemas today and fans can’t be happier. The Tamil-language action drama film directed by RJ Balaji from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ashwin Ravichandran, Rahul Raj, TS Gopi Krishnan and Karan Aravind Kumar. Let’s check out the first reactions of viewers on social media.

Many diehard fans of Suriya and actress Trisha Krishnan watched Karuppu first day first show. Take a look at what their honest reviews are on X (formerly called Twitter).

Karuppu release controversy

A day back, several 9 am shows of the Tamil film were cancelled. The film was earlier scheduled to release on May 14 but shows have been cancelled ‘due to unavoidable reasons’. SR Prabu, the producer of the film, took to X at 1 am on Thursday and revealed that the 9 am shows are cancelled. He wrote, “Due to unavoidable reasons, 9 AM shows will be cancelled for Karuppu. Our sincere apologies to everyone!”

‘Karuppu’ Director RJ Balaji tweeted, “Dearest fans, I don’t have a concrete answer to the current situation. Producers are doing their best to solve the hurdles. This film has always had hurdles, and somehow God has made us sail through all that and here we are after 32 months. This time as well, I have faith, complete faith in him (sic).”

Fans took to social media and expressed their resentment on the shows being cancelled.
