Suriya's Veerabhadrudu Clocks Rs 12 crore in Telugu ?

According to trade sources, the film has collected nearly Rs 12 crore share in Telugu states and continues its successful run. A distributor believes Suriya’s powerful performance and the film’s storyline revolving around corruption in the judicial system played a major role in connecting with audiences.

“The film initially opened to mixed responses, but Telugu audiences gradually connected with Suriya’s performance, which was subtle yet impactful,” the distributor says.

The film is said to have grossed more than Rs 23 crore (Rs 12 crore share) across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana so far, restoring some of the actor’s market strength in the region.

Trade circles claim that director R. J. Balaji’s film has also performed strongly in other southern territories including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and overseas markets. Reports suggest the movie has crossed Rs 100 crore share and grossed over Rs 200 crore worldwide, although its Hindi market performance has reportedly remained comparatively modest.

“It emerged as a strong winner among southern audiences, especially in Tamil Nadu where viewers embraced it wholeheartedly,” trade analysts point out.

Originally titled Karuppu, the film was dubbed into Telugu as Veerabhadrudu and reportedly acquired for around Rs 5 crore for Telugu distribution rights. Released across more than 250 theatres in Telugu states, the film has already doubled its investment, according to trade insiders.

Sources further state that the distribution network has benefited significantly from the film’s performance and Veerabhadrudu may continue its impressive run, with expectations of touching nearly Rs 15 crore share in the coming days.
