Coolie Storms Past ₹250 Crore in Two Days
Superstar Rajinikanth has proven he’s still the king of Kollywood. Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has set the box office on fire, collecting over ₹250 crore worldwide in just two days and claiming the title of 2025’s top-grossing Tamil film even before the first Saturday.
Coolie Day 2 Box Office: Record-Breaking Momentum
While day 1 saw a historic opening, Coolie kept strong on Independence Day—the film’s second day—thanks to holiday crowds and positive word of mouth. Its India net stands at ₹118.50 crore (₹145 crore gross), and the overseas performance has been phenomenal, with over $13 million (₹110 crore) grossed in two days. This takes Coolie’s worldwide total beyond ₹250 crore in record time.
- India Net (2 Days): ₹118.50 crore
- India Gross (2 Days): ₹145 crore
- Overseas Gross (2 Days): ₹110 crore
- Worldwide Gross (2 Days): ₹255 crore+
Coolie Now 2025’s Highest-Grossing Tamil Film
By smashing past Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly (₹248 crore) and Vidaamuyarchi (₹138 crore), as well as Suriya’s Dragon (₹150 crore), Coolie has become the biggest Tamil hit of 2025. This remarkable achievement underscores Rajinikanth’s enduring star power.
Trade Buzz & Weekend Predictions
With a minimal dip of just 17% on day two, trade experts believe Coolie may cross ₹400 crore worldwide in its opening weekend. If the upward trend holds, the film could soon challenge Rajinikanth’s own all-time record—₹691 crore from 2.0. The next few days will determine if history is made once again.
