Coolie Box Office Collection, Cast & Review – Rajinikanth’s Biggest Blockbuster Yet?

Date:

Coolie has arrived with a bang at the global box office. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth, this high-octane mass entertainer is rewriting box office history with record-breaking numbers. The film, produced by Sun Pictures, opened to a phenomenal response both in India and overseas, becoming one of the highest-grossing Tamil openers of all time.

On its opening day, Coolie achieved an earth-shattering start, collecting over ₹100 crore overseas and ₹50 crore in India alone. The film’s total of ₹159.50 crore worldwide has set a new benchmark for Indian cinema, especially considering War 2—starring Hrithik Roshan and marking Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut—also hit theatres the same day.
