Superstar Rajinikanth has once again proved his box-office might. His latest release Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is delivering exceptional numbers across India and overseas. The film opened to record-breaking figures on Independence Day (August 14, 2025) and has maintained impressive momentum into the weekdays.

Coolie has been equally dominant overseas. Within the opening 3 days, the film stormed into the ₹300 crore worldwide club, and by Day 5, estimates place the global gross at ₹400 crore+. North America led international markets with an impressive USD 6.22 million (~₹52 crore) in just five days, making it one of the biggest Indian performers of 2025 in the region.

With ~₹240 crore recovered pre-release from non-theatrical avenues, the film needed around ₹135 crore from theatres to break even—achieved within the first three days—positioning Coolie for substantial profits through its theatrical run.
📈 Trend, Audience Talk & Outlook
The extended holiday start, pan-India release, Rajinikanth’s star power, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s stylish, massy treatment have all contributed to robust occupancy across metros and Tier-2/Tier-3 circuits. Word-of-mouth remains favorable among family and mass audiences, sustaining strong evening and night shows even on weekdays.
- India Week 1 Target: ₹250 crore+ nett possible if weekday holds continue
- Worldwide Runway: Heading towards ₹500–600 crore gross in the full run
