RJ Balaji’s mythological entertainer draws attention

Directed by RJ Balaji, 'Karuppu' blends mythology, courtroom drama, and commercial action. Suriya plays Saravanan, a lawyer who becomes the human embodiment of Karuppusamy.

As ETimes noted, "somewhere around the interval, the film abruptly abandons these characters and their emotional arc. In fact, even after the death of a crucial character, the narrative seems far more interested in racing towards its next hero-elevation moment (powered by GK Vishnu's oversaturated frames) — and the next case, involving a sexual assault survivor played by Sshivada — than allowing the audience to sit with the emotional weight of the loss. The father-daughter duo are reduced to a fleeting glimpse towards the end, with everything eventually explained away through vague “just God things” logic."
