Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to set the silver screen ablaze with his much-awaited gangster action drama, Coolie. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is already making waves even before its release, raking in nearly ₹50 crore through advance bookings worldwide.

Massive Pre-Release Buzz

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie has already crossed ₹45 crore in global pre-sales for its opening day, and the numbers are expected to hit the ₹50 crore mark very soon. The excitement is palpable, with Indian advance bookings opening on Friday and overseas pre-sales starting as early as July.

Indian Box Office: A Roaring Start

• Over 1 lakh tickets were snapped up within hours of bookings opening in India.
• The film has already grossed ₹7.27 crore in Day 1 domestic bookings.
• Tamil Nadu and Kerala are leading the charge, with Kerala contributing ₹3.21 crore and Tamil Nadu close behind at ₹2.94 crore. Karnataka has also shown strong support with ₹1.1 crore in advance sales.

Eyeing Record-Breaking Collections

If this momentum continues, Coolie could be on track to deliver one of the biggest Day 1 collections in Tamil cinema history, with the potential to cross the ₹100 crore mark on its opening day.

Star-Studded Cast and Plot

Rajinikanth takes on the role of a former gold smuggler determined to reclaim his lost glory. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Pooja Hegde, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj.

Box Office Clash

Coolie will face stiff competition at the box office from War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Advance bookings for this Ayan Mukerji-directed spy thriller are set to open in India on August 10, as announced by Yash Raj Films.

With such a thunderous start, all eyes are on Coolie to see if it can rewrite box office records and deliver another blockbuster for Rajinikanth.
