Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and headlined by Rajinikanth, delivered an impressive hold on its second day at the India box office, raking in around â¹53 crore nett.
Benefiting from the Independence Day holiday, the film’s performance shows no signs of the mixed word-of-mouth chatter impacting its run.
Audiences are turning up in large numbers, and the strong support from the paying public is driving the momentum. Adding to its â¹65 crore opening day haul, Coolie has amassed â¹118 crore nett in India over just two days.
In Tamil Nadu, day two collections are estimated at â¹33.5 crore, making it the film’s strongest territory. The Andhra states follow with a solid â¹13 crore nett, while the Hindi version showed encouraging growth, earning â¹6.5 crore nett.
Overseas markets remain exceptional for Coolie, and the film is on track to surpass â¹400 crore worldwide by the end of its extended opening weekend.
All eyes are now on how well the film sustains its hold once the holiday wave settles.
