Suriya’s Karuppu Song: Sai’s Dude Magic Missing?

The team of Suriya’s Karuppu has released the first single from the film titled God Mode as a Diwali special. The song, composed by Sai Abhyankkar, has quickly gone viral on social media but has received mixed reactions from fans.

Before its release, expectations were high. Sai Abhyankkar had impressed audiences with his recent work in Dude, and many hoped God Mode would carry the same energy. However, after listening, several fans felt the track didn’t meet those standards.

Many users on social media have called the song disappointing and amateurish, suggesting that the composer still has room to grow. They expected a stronger hook and production quality to match the hype surrounding the movie.

A few listeners, though, found positives. They believe God Mode feels better after multiple listens and say the rhythm and layers in the music start to connect over time. Some also appreciated Sai Abhyankkar’s experimental sound approach.

Fans are comparing the response to Oorum Blood, the first single from Dude, which was initially criticised but later turned into a viral hit. Many now think God Mode could experience a similar turnaround once the film’s visuals gain traction.

However, disappointment still runs high among Suriya fans. With Karuppu missing its Diwali release, many expected the first single to make up for the delay. While the music hasn’t impressed everyone, Suriya’s striking look and visuals in the song video have earned strong praise.

Despite the divided opinions, God Mode continues to trend across platforms. Whether it becomes a slow-burn success like Dude or fades out will depend on how audiences receive the complete album and film release.
