'Coolie' Box Office collection day 6: Rajinikanth's film touches Rs 216 crore mark in India; BEATS Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's 'War 2' on first Tuesday

Coolie Movie Review

Despite the slowdown, the Rajinikanth action drama has crossed the big Rs 200 crore mark in India, a milestone that keeps fans celebrating. However, the film is facing stiff competition as Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ also released on the same day.

‘Coolie’ box office collection day 6

According to early estimates by Sacnilk, On Tuesday, ‘Coolie’ brought in around Rs 9.50 crore. This took the total collection of ‘Coolie’ in India to Rs 216 crore net by Day 6.

‘Coolie’ box office opening day numbers

On its release day, a Thursday, ‘Coolie’ made a massive opening with Rs 65 crore in India. This strong start gave the film an edge over its rivals and set the tone for a promising run. The Friday numbers, however, showed the first signs of a dip. The film dropped by more than 15% and brought in Rs 54.75 crore. Still, this was a strong collection for a non-holiday weekday.

Rajinikanth’s film faces dip in box office collection

The Saturday and Sunday run was expected to bring in bigger numbers, but ‘Coolie’ continued to dip. On Saturday, it collected Rs 39.5 crore, and on Sunday, it slipped further to Rs 35.25 crore. Even with the slide, Rajinikanth’s film managed to keep its grip on audiences and stayed well ahead of many other releases.

Weekdays are always the real test for any film, and ‘Coolie’ showed its first big drop on Monday. The film collected Rs 12 crore, which, while lower than the weekend numbers, was still considered decent for a weekday.

‘Coolie’ Vs ‘War 2’

One of the biggest talking points around ‘Coolie’ is its clash with ‘War 2’. Both films released on the same day, creating a box office battle between Rajinikanth, Hrithik Roshan, and Jr NTR.

On its first Tuesday, ‘War 2’ tried to keep pace but ended up behind ‘Coolie’. The film earned Rs 8.25 crore on Day 6, taking its domestic total to just over Rs 190 crore. This means that even with a dip, ‘Coolie’ is still ahead in the race.

‘Coolie’ worldwide box office collection

Beyond India, ‘Coolie’ has turned into a huge success. The film has already crossed the Rs 400 crore mark worldwide, placing it among the biggest earners for Rajinikanth. But the journey does not end here. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial still has a way to go before it can match or beat the numbers of other big films like ‘Saiyaara’ (Rs 324.75 crore net in India) and ‘Chhaava’ (Rs 601.57 crore net in India).

About ‘Coolie’

The performances, especially Rajinikanth’s, Anirudh’s background score, the humor, action sequences, cinematography, and the film’s concept were widely praised.
