Rajinikanth’s latest film ‘Coolie,’ directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has taken the Indian box office by storm by grossing an impressive ₹118.50 crore within just two days of its release. The Hindi version alone contributed ₹11 crore, surpassing the earnings of ‘Kaala’ to become Rajinikanth’s third-biggest hit in Hindi cinema. Despite facing tough competition from ‘War 2,’ ‘Coolie’ is riding high on positive audience feedback and Rajinikanth’s enduring popularity, potentially challenging the lifetime earnings of ‘Robot’ during the lucrative holiday weekend. With the film’s strong start, it has already surpassed ‘Kaala’ and claimed the third position in Rajinikanth’s Hindi filmography. The Hindi market opening was noteworthy, showcasing the film’s wide appeal. Even amidst the clash with ‘War 2,’ ‘Coolie’ managed to draw in audiences with its gripping storytelling and captivating action sequences. The ongoing Independence Day weekend is expected to further boost the film’s performance, paving the way for it to potentially surpass ‘Robot’ and become Rajinikanth’s second-highest-grossing Hindi film ever.
