Coolie Box Office Collections: Rajnikanth starrer holds superbly on Friday, Biggest ever day 2 in Tamil Nadu
The home state, Tamil Nadu, posted a superb Rs. 25.50 crore approx yesterday, marking the biggest second-day number ever for any film. The two-day total in the state stands at Rs. 53.50 crore approx, putting it on track to Rs. 95-100 crore extended weekend, significantly higher than the previous best four-day sum in the state for a Rajnikanth starrer, Jailer (Rs. 77 crore).
The Telugu states saw a very strong hold as well, with collections eclipsing ahead of War 2, which featured a big Telugu superstar, NTR Jr. Normally one would expect steep drop in the region but given it was a holiday and the film suffered from the clash on its first day, hitting capacity in most of the state, meant there was a strong spillover to the following day.
Karnataka also held well, though Kerala dropped a bit steeply for the big holiday. The Hindi dubbed version of the film saw an uptick in collections, but it could have easily doubled on the big holiday that Independence Day is.
In all, the film is going to put very big numbers over its extended weekend despite having mixed reports, thanks to the big start and holiday support. Where the film lands on Monday will determine where the film will rank amongst the biggest grosser of the industry.

‘I wasn't supposed to feel gareeb in India': Dubai vlogger left shocked after Rs 1,000 chai in Mumbai
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger has gone viral for something most NRIs can relate to — the shock of returning home and finding India anything but 'cheap.' Parikshit Balochi, a radio presenter and content creator, recently posted a candid Instagram video about how the cost of living back home has left him stunned. His witty yet exasperated rant, especially about a cup of tea that set him back Rs 1,000, has already crossed half a million his video, Balochi confessed that earning in dirhams always gave him the impression that India would be his playground for carefree spending. 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said, sounding equal parts amused and frustrated. But instead of feeling wealthy, the inflated bills in Mumbai hotels and cafés have made him rethink the entire NRI privilege. Nothing captured his disbelief better than the price of a humble cup of tea. 'Rs 1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he explained that the unspoken 'deal' NRIs had with India was simple — come home, convert dirhams to rupees, and live like royalty. He said that converting dirhams into rupees was supposed to make him feel richer, not leave him shocked. Instead of showing off his wealth, he now jokes that he might actually need flexible payment plans just to survive the a mix of satire and genuine worry, Balochi ended his rant by pointing out how much money locals must be managing to spend daily. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas,' he said, marvelling at how residents navigate this reality.
