EE Times Review
ETimes review says: “What makes Karuppu initially engaging is how entrenched he is in the legal proceedings surrounding the stolen jewelery case involving Indrans and Anagha Maaya Ravi, who play a helpless father and daughter.
The first half spends a lot of time building an investment in their desperation, vulnerability, and quest for justice, which in turn gives the film its emotional core and its most effective appeal to mass films: the idea of an ordinary man defying a god forced to live and act like a human.
We have Baby Kannan (RJ Balaji, in active mode), a scheming lawyer who has gamed the system for so long that even Judge Rajanayagam (Natty Subramaniam) seems to be dancing to his tune.
Even the only honest lawyer in the courtroom, Preethi (Trisha Krishnan), struggles to win cases despite being able to prove malpractice. So, when Baby Kannan boldly challenges Vettai Karuppu (Suriya, in full aura cultivation mode), the god who comes down to aid the father-daughter duo, to win the case without resorting to divine powers, Karuppu finds real dramatic tension because the conflict seems rooted in human stakes rather than divine invincibility.Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
