Talk:Karuppu (film)

Requested move 21 June 2025

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. The most pertinent argument is that there is a folk god also known as Karuppu, and it's too soon to know if the film is primary. Therefore, Karuppu will become a DAB page until the film can demonstrate more enduring significance. (closed by non-admin page mover) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:33, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Karuppu (film) → Karuppu – Karuppu currently redirects to Karuppuswamy. I think the deity is not the primary redirect, as "Karuppu" simply means black.

• Oppose "Karuppu" should be a disambiguation page. There appear to be several people with this name with articles on Wikipedia -- 65.93.183.249 (talk) 05:34, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support There doesn't appear to be anyone who is known simply as "Karuppu". 194.135.119.191 (talk) 13:02, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose, absent any evidence of primary topic. Karuppu is listed as a bolded alternative name at Karuppuswamy. A Google search does turn up results for the film first but the results are all over the place. Pageviews does show a lead for the film since shortly after the article was created but it is WP:TOOSOON to show enduring relevance for the as yet unreleased film and the folk god has an obvious claim for long-term significance. I might support Karuppu as a DAB but would prefer more input. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:22, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

KARUPPU Plot Riceban (talk) 21:39, 16 May 2026 (UTC) Binu and his father travel from Kerala to Chennai by train for Binu’s liver transplant treatment, carrying sixty sovereigns of gold meant to fund the surgery. During a halt at an intermediate station, a group of thieves steal their bag. The duo file a complaint at a nearby police station, where the police later claim to have recovered only forty five sovereigns of the stolen gold. They are informed that the jewels can only be returned through a Return of Property petition filed in court.

Desperate to recover the gold, Binu and his father approach Baby Kannan, a powerful advocate who controls the local court through corruption and influence. Instead of helping them, Baby Kannan deliberately drags the case for money, exploiting the family until they slowly lose hope of getting the jewels back.

Unable to bear the injustice any longer, Binu’s father seeks help from Vettai Karuppu, the guardian deity of Seven Wells, also known as Ellaswamy. Karuppu decides to punish Baby Kannan and enters the court disguised as a newly transferred advocate named Saravanan to fight Binu’s case legally.

Saravanan soon learns how deeply corrupted the court system is. He also meets advocate Preethi, who explains Baby Kannan’s influence over the entire court. During the first hearing, Baby Kannan manipulates the proceedings by creating confusion through multiple petitions filed under different advocates, causing the hearing to become invalid. Saravanan secretly uses his supernatural powers to counter the corruption, which is witnessed by both Preethi and Baby Kannan. Baby Kannan then challenges Saravanan to win the case without using any powers.

Despite several obstacles, Saravanan eventually succeeds in retrieving the jewels. However, the victory comes too late, as Binu dies before he can undergo the transplant.

Enraged, Saravanan later takes up a sexual assault case involving a woman. Realising that powerful men connected to Baby Kannan are behind the crime, Saravanan entrusts the case to Preethi. Earlier, Preethi had wished for a modern court where nobody could lie and where old unresolved cases would finally receive justice.

During the first hearing of the assault case, Baby Kannan unexpectedly finds himself unable to lie in court and is forced to reveal the truth. His confession angers a minister connected to the crime, who decides to eliminate him. Baby Kannan slowly realises that these changes are part of Karuppu’s divine intervention.

Karuppu also begins eliminating crime within the boundaries of Seven Wells, leading to old cases being resolved and preventing new crimes from taking place. Baby Kannan notices that even the minister’s men are unable to commit crimes within the area protected by Karuppu, whose powers are limited to Seven Wells.

Determined to escape Karuppu’s influence, Baby Kannan plans to relocate the court outside the protected area. After murdering the judge who opposes the move, he engineers chaos inside the court complex, causing the building to collapse. Using the incident to his advantage, he successfully pushes for the construction of a new court in another locality.

However, Baby Kannan continues to be haunted by Karuppu’s presence and warnings. During the inauguration ceremony of the new court, Baby Kannan arrives with armed men to threaten everyone present. They are stopped by DSP Duraiswamy, who is revealed to be Kaaval Karuppu, the guardian deity of the new area. Duraiswamy ultimately defeats Baby Kannan, bringing an end to his reign of corruption.

The outro hints a possible sequel featuring a LKG vs Karuppu crossover.

Removal of Karuppu box office gross

Karuppu(2026) film's Box offic3 gross update is removed by someone continuously even when reliable source according to wikipedia is given. EdiAnandu (talk) 06:33, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

That source is from Sacnilk which is unreliable. Rahulrty (talk) 06:39, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

The cited source is from the Indian Express which is reliable. Where is unreliable sources cited. Point it before removing it without any reasons. EdiAnandu (talk) 06:41, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Indian Express is reliable source. But it takes from Sacnilk which is unreliable. Rahulrty (talk) 06:42, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

almost all reliable sources in wikipedia takes information from sacnilk and give credits to sacnilk. So if it goes on like this how will we update the gross figures. EdiAnandu (talk) 07:01, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Almost all films with reliable citation of box office gross has sacnilk gross figures mentioned in them and give credits to sacnilk. If you are removing Karuppu gross in this manner you should have removed all those too. EdiAnandu (talk) 07:02, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Thays actually wrong information. Wikipedia doesn't support sources from unreliable sources. Rahulrty (talk) 07:08, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 what's your take on unreliable source Sacnilk. Is it allowed in wikipedia? Rahulrty (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

We need consensus on whether reliable sources citing Sacnilk can be allowed per WP:FRUIT, which is not a policy but an essay. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:20, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:ICTFSOURCES, "If an otherwise reliable source attributes information to an unreliable source then that information is likewise unreliable" Rahulrty (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

I was just about to flag both the infobox version of the gross (Uses language "could potentially exceed ₹120 crore" and "anticipated ₹120 crore mark".) and the introduction section version (Times of India is only quoting Sacnilk.) when I noticed this discussion. I won't tag them for now, but I do agree, they are not reliable. Orxenhorf (talk) 01:45, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

I can't even understand almost all reliable sites mentioned by Wikipedia is taking citation from Sacnilk and still Sacnilk is unreliable. If you are removing the Karuppu worldwide gross because the so called reliable sites are taking citation then, almost all indian film's gross should be removed as all their citations are pointing directly or indirectly towards Sacnilk. ~2026-29749-37 (talk) 01:49, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:ICTFSOURCES, "If an otherwise reliable source attributes information to an unreliable source then that information is likewise unreliable". So these kinda sources should be removed. Rahulrty (talk) 01:53, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

yeah I agree. But almost all indian films have their citations directly or indirectly pointing towards Sacnilk's figures. That's what makes me confused. Should we just leave it and only focus on Karuppu's reliable updates. EdiAnandu (talk) 01:56, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

If reliable sources are using unreliable sources you can remove it. Rahulrty (talk) 02:01, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay. Will try my maximum to find reliable sources that doesn't point towards unreliable one's ~2026-29749-37 (talk) 02:04, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Dinamalar Reported Producer Figures

The Dinamalar report has simply cited the producer’s official announcement claiming ₹147 crore in 3 days, so it cannot be considered an independent or verifiable collection source.

Wikipedia guidelines do not treat producer-issued posters or studio announcements as valid box office references. This has to be removed .

@Arjayay @Kailash29792@Toddy1 ~2026-29806-07 (talk) 09:39, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

As per WP:PRIMARY, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia. Better luck next time. I don't care whose fan you are and what agenda you have. But, it is definitely pathetic that you can't digest the success of an actor who had a 13 year dry spell. Only goes on to show how insecure you are. Malchemical (talk) 10:10, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

The Dinamalar source clearly states that these are the producer’s officially announced numbers and even includes the poster released by the production company.

Wikipedia guidelines do not treat producer-issued posters or studio announcements as valid box office references.
