The anticipation surrounding Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ has been immense, and the film’s release has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. The film is drawing large audiences and receiving positive reviews. While the film has performed well in India, its impact overseas has been particularly noteworthy. ‘Coolie’ has also become the 7th highest opening-day collection movie in the history of Indian cinema. Here’s a look at the film’s financial performance over the first two days.
In India, ‘Coolie’ has made a significant impact. The film had a powerful opening, grossing ₹65 crore on its first day. Despite a slight dip, the film continued to perform strongly on the second day, collecting ₹53.50 crore. This brings the total collection to ₹118.50 crore within two days. With a budget of ₹400 crore, the film’s current pace suggests it could recoup its investment by the end of the weekend.
Looking at the worldwide collection, ‘Coolie’ has exceeded expectations. Rajinikanth’s film is receiving a strong reception overseas. The film earned as much overseas on its opening day as it did in India across all languages, a major accomplishment for ‘Coolie.’ The overseas collection totaled ₹76.50 crore. The worldwide opening day collection reached ₹153.50 crore. This marks the highest opening day box office collection in Rajinikanth’s 50-year career.
In the 2025 box office competition, ‘Coolie’ has a clear lead over Hrithik Roshan’s ‘War 2.’ ‘War 2’ has a worldwide collection of ₹140 crore, while ‘Coolie’ has earned ₹194.50 crore. Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ is currently ahead in the global box office race, and the performance of both films will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
