Superstar Rajinikanth’s action drama Coolie has once again proven his unmatched box office power. The film opened to a thunderous response, with fans thronging theatres and ensuring a spectacular start.
Entering the Elite Club in Just 5 Days
Within only five days of release, Coolie has stormed into the elite box office club, marking one of the fastest climbs for any recent Indian film. This milestone has further cemented Rajinikanth’s dominance in the industry and highlighted the frenzy around the movie.
The Monday Litmus Test
After a dream run through the weekend, Coolie faced its toughest test on Monday. Collections dipped by nearly two-thirds compared to Sunday, settling at around ₹12 crore. While the drop is steep, such fluctuations are common after a heavy holiday run.
Overseas Wave Keeps Growing
Not just in India, Coolie is creating waves overseas too. In North America alone, the film has already grossed over USD 6 million within its first five days, making it the second-biggest Indian release of 2025 in that region. Rajinikanth’s fanbase abroad has clearly added extra fuel to the film’s global success.
Box Office Journey So Far
-
Day 1 (Friday): ₹65 crore (thunderous opening)
-
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹52 crore (slight drop but strong hold)
-
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹58 crore (weekend peak)
-
Day 4 (Monday): ₹12 crore (66% drop from Sunday)
-
Day 5 (Tuesday): Strong overseas contribution
Can It Maintain the Momentum?
The big question now is whether Coolie can hold strong through the weekdays. The opening week has given it tremendous momentum, but sustained collections will determine whether it ends up as just a strong opener or an all-time blockbuster.
Final Word
Coolie shows that Rajinikanth continues to be one of Indian cinema’s most bankable stars. The film’s start has been extraordinary, and even with a Monday setback, its long-term box office journey looks promising.
