Final Word

Coolie started its journey with a massive ₹65 crore opening day, but the crash over weekdays and a weak Day 8 of just ₹2.64 crore underline its struggle at the box office.

With ₹226 crore India net and ₹429+ crore worldwide gross so far, the film stands strong globally but has clearly lost its momentum domestically. The second weekend trend will now decide whether it can recover stability or face more decline.
