ETimes review
ETimes highlighted the film’s unique blend of fantasy, courtroom drama and commercial entertainment in its review. The review stated, “Karuppu joins a long line of Indian films built around divine intervention in human lives, where God descends into the mortal world to confront forces so deeply unjust that they almost become a challenge to divinity itself.”The review further added, “What sets Karuppu apart from films like Oh My God or Arai Enn 305-il Kadavul, however, is how unapologetically it frames this premise within a mass-masala template.”It also praised the film’s commercial approach and crowd-pleasing elements. “Rather than approaching divinity through satire, philosophy or light-hearted fantasy alone, the film treats God as a full-fledged commercial hero figure — complete with punch dialogues, elevation moments and crowd-pleasing songs.”The review concluded, “That combination of courtroom drama, emotional stakes and “God-as-mass-hero” energy is precisely what gives the film its distinct flavour.”
