Rajinikanth’s Coolie Crosses ₹380 Cr Worldwide in First Weekend; Falls Short of Leo

Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-hyped big-budget film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has successfully wrapped up its first weekend at the global box office. Despite mixed reviews and stiff competition from War 2, the film delivered an impressive performance.

In just 4 days, Coolie grossed around ₹380 crore worldwide, with Day 4 alone contributing nearly ₹62 crore. In North America, the film crossed the $8 million mark, highlighting Rajinikanth’s strong overseas pull.

However, trade reports reveal that Coolie fell slightly behind Vijay’s Leo, which grossed ₹403 crore during its extended first weekend. This means Leo still retains the record for the biggest Kollywood opener. An official confirmation from the Coolie team is awaited.

The star-studded entertainer also features Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir in key roles. Produced by Sun Pictures with music by Anirudh Ravichander, Coolie is expected to test its box office strength starting today (Monday) as weekday trends take over.

War 2 Struggles at Box Office Despite Hrithik Roshan & Jr. NTR’s Star Power

War 2, the latest Bollywood spy thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji, brings together Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in a high-octane action drama. Despite massive buzz and expectations, the film’s box office performance has been underwhelming so far.

Released last Thursday, the film has completed its first extended weekend (4 days). However, mixed reviews and divided word of mouth have affected occupancy and collections.

By the end of Day 4, War 2 managed to earn an estimated ₹123 crore nett (Hindi) at the domestic box office, including around ₹25 crore on Day 4 (Sunday).

Given the film’s big budget and star-studded cast, the numbers are considered disappointing, sparking concern over its long-term run.

The movie also features Kiara Advani in a pivotal role, while Ashutosh Rana makes a cameo appearance. Music has been composed by Pritam and the team. Backed by Yash Raj Films, War 2 was expected to set new records but is currently struggling to keep up with its hype.

Stay tuned for more detailed day-wise box office reports and updates on the film’s performance.

Coolie Maintains Slim Lead Over War 2 at the Box Office

Two of India’s biggest films, Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan Jr. NTR’s War 2, hit the screens last Thursday with sky-high expectations. However, the much-anticipated clash has not entirely lived up to the hype, as both films are struggling to deliver collections matching their massive budgets and star power.

In the first three days worldwide, Coolie managed a strong gross of ₹315 crore, while War 2 collected around ₹210 crore. Trade circles expect Sunday’s numbers (Day 4) to be stronger, but the real test begins Monday, when weekday collections will determine the true box office stamina of both films.

As per early reports, Coolie is holding a slight edge in ticket sales and revenue. The big question remains whether War 2 can bounce back in the coming week or if Coolie will continue to dominate.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie stars Superstar Rajinikanth, while Ayan Mukerji’s War 2 features Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. The clash between these cinematic heavyweights is still wide open, and the coming days will decide which film emerges victorious.
