By Soumya Ranjan Coolie Box Office Day 1 : Rajinikanth’s Coolie breaks the previous record for Tamil cinema with a global opening day total of Rs 150 crore.
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 1:
At the box office, Rajinikanth’s Coolie has had nothing short of a historic debut. With its incredible advance sales, the Lokesh Kanagaraj-directed movie was already making waves. According to preliminary estimates, it made about Rs 150 crore on its first day of release worldwide. Coolie is now the first Tamil movie to ever have such a huge opening.
While Coolie’s first-day net collections in India are close to Rs 65 crore across all languages, trade reports indicate that the movie made an astounding Rs 75 crore from foreign markets, Rs 28–30 crore from Tamil Nadu, Rs 16–18 crore from Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, Rs 14–15 crore from Karnataka, and Rs 10 crore from Kerala. With these figures, Coolie has become the biggest Tamil opener to date, surpassing Leo’s record of Rs 76 crore on its first day of release in India.
It is anticipated that the release’s timing, which comes right before the Independence Day weekend, will lead to even higher box office receipts in the days ahead.
Rajinikanth’s Historic Box Office Opening
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Coolie’s incredible Day 1 response shows that it is impervious to criticism. The movie has become a joyous occasion, with audiences flocking to theaters both in India and overseas.
The multi-starrer format of the film, according to industry experts, has been very important. Powerhouse names like Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir are included in Coolie alongside Rajinikanth. “Rajinikanth’s pan-India reach, coupled with Aamir Khan’s strong presence in the Hindi market, has made this a true event film,” trade analyst Ramesh Bala said, highlighting the movie’s widespread appeal. The film was bound for huge success because the five stars each drew their own audiences.
Coolie’s clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR’s War 2 added to the fervor, but it still sold over 12 lakh tickets on its first day and crossed Rs 100 crore in pre-sales alone. This highlights Rajinikanth’s unmatched box office supremacy.
Coolie Celebrates Rajinikanth’s 50 Years
In addition, Coolie marks a major turning point in Rajinikanth’s career by commemorating 50 years of his unparalleled fame. Fans will find plenty to cheer for in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film, which combines nostalgia with fast-paced action.
Aamir Khan’s cameo and a number of surprising turns make up the climax, which has become a hot topic of conversation. “The climax is packed not just with action, but the famous cameo appearance by Aamir Khan,” the media review said, praising the spectacle. There are still more plot twists to come. To be transported back in time, wait until you see the scene at the end. All things considered, Lokesh Kanagaraj has succeeded in delivering a smash hit to theaters that must be seen on a large screen in front of a packed Rajini fan base.
Trade analysts believe Coolie will continue its record-breaking run, solidifying its place as one of the biggest blockbusters in Tamil cinema history, especially with Independence Day celebrations and the long weekend ahead.
