After Rajinikanth, Thalapathy Vijay, and Ajith Kumar, Kollywood is blessed to have a breed of actors with the potential to become industry superstars. One such actor is Sivakarthikeyan, who is on the right path to emerging as a big star. While his script choices have always been exciting, his box office growth has also been impressive, especially in the post-covid era. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Rajinikanth’s Coolie witnessed a massive downfall after the solid opening weekend. Released amid high expectations, the magnum opus registered a fantastic start at the Indian box office due to strong pre-sales, but afterwards, it dropped significantly due to mixed word-of-mouth. Amid such an alarming situation, the film has something to cheer for as it maintained a steady pace on the second Friday. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 9!

Coolie Worldwide Box Office Day 8: Not Glorious Enough!

Rajinikanth’s Coolie has managed to win a high-voltage clash against War 2 at the box office, but the pace of the film is not at all to be celebrated as a glorious win. Honestly, the win happened since the other film was even weaker! In 8 days, Rajinikanth’s action biggie helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, stands at a worldwide gross collection of 437.98 crore.

Rajinikanth’s Next Target – Thalapathy Vijay!

While Rajinikanth has delivered the highest grossing Tamil film of 2025 at the worldwide box office, he has managed to surpass every single Tamil release of 2024 as well, except for The Greatest Of All Time!

For almost all Kollywood superstars, the post-covid era has not been that good. Thalapathy Vijay and Rajinikanth are two of the biggest crowd pullers in the Tamil film industry right now, but they have failed to display consistency at the Indian box office. While Vijay’s last film turned out to be a losing affair due to its exorbitant cost, the same thing is happening with Rajini’s latest release, Coolie. Let’s find out how they fared so far post-covid!

Coolie Rajinikanth Lokesh Kanagaraj Action Universe(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead, had massive pre-release hype but received some negative feedback after its release. Was this negativity warranted? In this article, we attempt to answer that question and provide a fair warning.

(There are spoilers ahead)

One of the recurring complaints about Coolie is its illogical narrative, though such criticism isn’t new to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s films. Another major gripe is the weak plot filled with loopholes, and even his tendency to draw inspiration from other works isn’t unprecedented. So why, then, is Coolie attracting such intense backlash this time?

Similarities Between Coolie, Vikram, and Jailer

The core of Coolie clearly resembles Vikram (2022). In Vikram, the protagonist’s son was killed, while in Coolie, it is the protagonist’s best friend and brother-in-law. To create an emotional connection, both films introduce a family bond.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie has managed to hit a total gross collection of 151.7 crore worldwide on the opening day itself, bringing the biggest opener of Rajinikanth’s career since 2.0. The film also surpassed the previous biggest Tamil opening overseas, to bring the biggest overseas opener of the Indian Cinema!

Rajinikanth Axes Thalapathy Vijay!

Rajinikanth axed Leo’s overseas opening of $8.15 Million on Thursday, August 14, 2025, bringing the biggest overseas Tamil opener in history. Lokesh Kanagaraj, interestingly, now owns the top 2 spots with Thalapathy Vijay and Rajinikanth’s films.

Coolie Worldwide Box Office Day 1

The film earned 75 crore overseas on the opening day. This is almost $8.76 Million, making it the second biggest overseas opener in the history of Indian Cinema, standing only below Prabhas. Baahubali is still the biggest overseas opener of Indian Cinema, with a collection of $11.25 Million.

Coolie has justified the crazy hype by registering a historic opening at the Indian box office. Starring Rajinikanth, the magnum opus clocked a mind-blowing start. It comfortably surpassed the opening day collection of 2.0 and also crossed Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo. It registered the highest day 1 collection for Rajinikanth and also for Kollywood. Lokesh Kanagaraj has achieved a remarkable feat with this. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Despite a clash with War 2, the Kollywood action thriller scored an earth-shattering 65 crore net. Considering the pre-release hype, it was expected to go beyond the 50 crore mark, but crossing the 60 crore mark looked doubtful. Surprisingly, it performed much better than expected in the Telugu market, which made all the difference.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is off to a historic start at the Indian box office. Going by the advance booking trend, it was clear that the film was going to earn a smashing collection on day 1, but there was still doubt on whether it would be able to cross Leo. Now that the actuals are in, it has been learned that the magnum opus has created history for Kollywood by registering the biggest opening ever. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Released amid huge buzz, the Kollywood action thriller received mixed reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, word-of-mouth has been mixed so far. However, it didn’t affect the film on the opening day as the occupancy was fantastic. By the end of the day, it finally pulled off a historic number.

Coolie earns a historic day 1 collection at the Indian box office!

Guns, bullets, brawls, men with codes of honor, comic book plotlines anchored to a hyper-realistic world, and an unabashed love for commercial Tamil cinema fare and for the “Andavar” Kamal Haasan—to constrain Lokesh Kanagaraj into all these boxes would be easy, but that would also take away from what makes Kanagaraj such a distinctive voice amongst the new-gen Tamil directors. One of the few who actually introduced the exudation of “cool” within the Tamil films as well as invoking intensity integrated with coherence within the best of his works, Kanagaraj has become a brand unto himself, the progenitor of a cinematic universe within the Indian film space that is actually successful, even as the shine threatens to fall apart with his latest release.

Here’s the ranking of six of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s released films. As always, all opinions expressed here are not made with any barometric objectivity besides my own,...

Yes, on the auspicious occasion of Independence Day, the magnum opus is all set for a mind-blowing collection on Rajini’s home ground, Tamil Nadu. Here’s a detailed advance booking report!

The Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj duo attracted massive footfalls on the opening day. However, since reviews have been mixed and word-of-mouth has been average so far, the main concern was the hold on the second day. But all thanks to a national holiday today, the film is all set for another rocking day.
