Though the story of Karuppan directed by Paneerselvan is as old as a hell, the movie works solely because of the terrific screen presence of Vijay Sethupathi. 

The director seemed to target family audience and has infused enough elements to entertain them. There’s an cute love between Karuppan and Anbu and both Sethupathi and Tanya done well, especially the former with his massy moments and effortless feats. Then there’s the mother (Renuka in an okay role) and anna - thangachi (Pasupathy proving his versatility and Tanya) sentiments which are sure to go well with women crowd.  Bobby who is back to villainy role impresses but the director could have given more importance to his character. After a long time, the otherwise loud Singam Puli’s comedy works to a great extent. Sharat Lohitashva does not create the right impact.

Imman’s background score is more noteworthy than his songs.

Over-all Karuppan is a well packaged rural entertainer and is watchable once.
