How Did ‘Veerabhadrudu’ Become A Hit Despite Negative Reviews?

Suriya’s ‘Veerabhadrudu’, released in Tamil as ‘Karuppu’, is performing surprisingly well at the box office despite receiving poor reviews and mixed word of mouth on its opening day. The film has already emerged as a commercial success in both Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states. Trade experts believe the lack of recent large-scale mass entertainers helped the movie attract audiences looking for high-energy action drama.

Another major factor behind the film’s success is the strong support Suriya continues to enjoy among fans after a gap in major box-office hits. Exhibitors also say Trisha Krishnan’s presence has significantly boosted theatre footfalls, with her scenes receiving loud applause. Release-day controversies and social media discussions reportedly created additional curiosity around the film. Overall, several unexpected factors have contributed to the movie’s successful run.
