About the Film
'Karuppu' is presented as a mythological mass entertainer directed by RJ Balaji. The film features Suriya in the role of Saravanan, a lawyer who serves as the human avatar of deity Karuppusamy.
ETimes review for the film reads: "What makes Karuppu initially engaging is how firmly it roots itself in the legal proceedings surrounding a stolen jewels case involving Indrans and Anagha Maaya Ravi, who play a helpless father and daughter. The first half spends considerable time building investment in their desperation, vulnerability and pursuit of justice, which in turn gives the film both its emotional core and its most effective mass-movie hook: the idea of an ordinary man challenging a God forced to live and behave as a mortal. We have Baby Kannan (RJ Balaji, in effective mode), a crafty lawyer who has gamed the system for so long that even the judge, Rajanayagam (Natty Subramaniam), appears to dance to his tunes."
