Fans eagerly awaited the release of Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie,’ and the film has delivered, generating a positive response and attracting large audiences. While the film has performed well in India, its impact overseas has taken it to another level. ‘Coolie’ has become the 7th highest opening-day collection movie in the history of Indian cinema. Here’s a breakdown of the film’s earnings over the first two days.
In India, ‘Coolie’ has performed exceptionally well. The film opened with a spectacular ₹65 crore on its opening day. The film maintained its momentum, although there was a slight decrease in earnings on the second day. Rajinikanth’s film collected ₹53.50 crore in India on the second day, bringing the total to ₹118.50 crore within two days. The film reportedly has a budget of ₹400 crore. Its current performance suggests it could recover its budget by the end of the weekend.
‘Coolie’s’ worldwide collection is also impressive, surprising everyone. Rajinikanth’s film has received a strong response internationally. The film earned as much overseas on its first day as it did in India across all languages. This is a significant achievement for ‘Coolie.’ The overseas collection reached ₹76.50 crore. The opening day worldwide collection reached ₹153.50 crore. This is Rajinikanth’s highest opening-day box office collection in his 50-year career.
In the 2025 box office clash, ‘Coolie’ is significantly ahead of Hrithik Roshan’s ‘War 2.’ While ‘War 2’s worldwide collection stands at ₹140 crore, ‘Coolie’ has earned ₹194.50 crore. Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ is currently leading in the worldwide box office race, and the performance of both films in the coming weeks will be interesting.
