Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, continues its winning streak at the global box office, leaving behind War 2, led by Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. After six days of release, the Rajinikanth film has grossed Rs 401 crore worldwide, while War 2 has collected Rs 286.25 crore in the same duration.
Coolie Crosses Rs 400 Crore in 6 Days
The Rajinikanth starrer crime drama entered the Rs 400 crore club by the end of its sixth day, making it one of the fastest films of 2025 to achieve this feat. Strong opening collections over its extended weekend played a major role in building this lead.
War 2 Records a Better Tuesday
While Coolie has been leading consistently, War 2 saw an edge on Day 6 (Tuesday). Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the action entertainer featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, earned Rs 15.75 crore on Tuesday, slightly ahead of Coolie’s Rs 13 crore on the same day.
Despite this improvement, the cumulative collection of War 2 still lags behind the Rajinikanth film by a huge margin of Rs 115 crore.
