Coolie Box Office Day 7: Rajinikanth Starrer Struggles, But Crosses Rs 200 Crore-Mark
Coolie opened with great numbers at the box office, but soon after the initial buzz, the action-packed thriller began to slow down. Rajinikanth's much-awaited film Coolie marked the superstar's 50 years in cinema. The movie opened with great numbers at the Indian box office, as it managed to pull huge crowds over the Independence Day holiday weekend. However, after the initial buzz, the action-packed thriller began to lose momentum. By the end of its first week, the film had impressively crossed the Rs 200 crore mark, but the daily earnings painted a different picture. Monday witnessed a steep drop, Tuesday fell further, and Day 7 followed the same declining trend. According to Sacnilk, the Tamil movie collected Rs 6.50 crore on its seventh day, and the total box office figure reached Rs 222 crore. On Wednesday, the film saw mixed occupancies across different regions and languages. In Tamil, where Rajinikanth has the biggest fan base, the film recorded an overall occupancy of 20.97%. In Hindi, the occupancy was lower at 11.69%. Meanwhile, the Telugu version managed to get 16.48% occupancy. Coolie opened with a thunderous response as it earned Rs 65 crore on Day 1. The momentum continued on Day 2 with Rs 54.75 crore, and Day 3 brought in Rs 39.5 crore, keeping the numbers high over the holiday weekend. On Day 4, the film collected Rs 35.25 crore, but the earnings fell drastically to Rs 12 crore on Day 5, followed by another dip with Rs 9.5 crore on Day 6. Clash With War 2 Despite stiff competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which has earned Rs 199 crore so far, Rajinikanth's Coolie continues to lead the race. With a box office collection of Rs 222 crore, the film stands as yet another testament to the superstar's unmatched screen presence. Coolie tells the story of Deva, played by Rajinikanth, a former union leader who uncovers the truth behind the sudden death of his close friend Rajasekhar. His search for justice pulls him into a dangerous clash with powerful gangster Simon, played by Nagarjuna and his right-hand man. Alongside Rajinikanth, the film also stars Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Upendra and Aamir Khan playing key roles. While critics have shared mixed opinions about the film's plot, the energy, style and screen presence of Rajinikanth have been loved by his fans.

When rural traditions found abode in Madras
Before it was Chennai, Madras was already a meeting ground between the coast and hinterland, city and village, classical and folk. For decades, folk artists from regions such as Madurai, Thanjavur, and Ramanathapuram have brought their songs, dances, and stories into the city, turning Madras into a stage for Tamil Nadu's rural traditions. Even in the most urban of its public spaces, the city has made room for voices from the countryside. While some forms, such as therukoothu, thappattam, and especially gaana, grew organically within the city, thriving particularly among working-class communities, others such as karagattam, oyilattam, villupattu, and bommalattam, reached the city from the countryside. Once performed during village festivals or temple functions, these art forms found new life in the city's sabhas, schools, cultural festivals, and public spaces. This process of elevating rural folk arts within the city began in the 1950s. In an article dated November 28, 1955, in The Hindu, E. Krishna Iyer, secretary of the Madras State Sangita Nataka Sangam, wrote of the organisation's efforts to conduct a comprehensive survey of classical and folk arts across the State. He noted the importance of bringing to light rare and interesting performances tucked away in the State's 'nooks and corners, and expressed hope that the development of these arts would help the masses 'enliven and enrich their lives by participating in them, rather than being mere spectators.' On April 22, 1957, an article announced the second All-Madras Folk Dance Festival at N.K.T. Kalamandapam in Triplicane. The festival was to include 20 varieties of folk music and dance presented by about 150 artistes. While Tamil forms were at the centre, the event also opened its stage to Kerala's martial dances from Ambalapuzha and the comic solo theatre of Ottam Thullal, and Andhra's shadow puppetry. By this time, Madras was already positioning itself as a platform where folk forms from across South India could meet, and be appreciated by urban audiences. Through the 1960s and 1970s, this idea had taken deeper root. In the subsequent decades, even as folk arts began to struggle for attention amid the pull of television, cinema, and globalised pop culture, Madras continued to offer moments of spotlight. The Chennai Sangamam festival, launched in 2007, helped bring greater visibility to hundreds of folk artists across Tamil Nadu. In an article published in The Hindu on January 12, 2023, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, Member of Parliament and the driving force behind the week-long festival, said its purpose was to revive and re-imagine traditional Tamil arts in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences. Perhaps, it is the introduction of new themes or the unique allure of these traditional art forms that is drawing in urban audiences. Murugachandran, a Tholpavaikoothu artiste from a nomadic family, now settled in Kanniyakumari, observes a growing interest towards rural art forms in Chennai over the past few years. 'Schools, family functions, and even apartment associations invite me to perform,' he says. Tholpavaikoothu, a traditional shadow puppetry art form practiced in Kerala and southern Tamil Nadu, involves the use of leather puppets and is traditionally performed in temples or during community gatherings. Today, several forums in the city are opening up to traditional arts, one notable example being IDAM, an art and cultural space in Kodambakkam. Founded by Vetri MV, IDAM has evolved into a hub for workshops, performances, and storytelling sessions, aiming to bridge the gap between folk artists and the urban public. Beyond performances, there is a need for researchers to document, says Anitha Pottamkulam, Director (Culture), Dakshina Chitra. 'While it is important to make space for performances, it is equally important to focus on the research and documentation behind them,' she says.
