Coolie (Hindi) Day 2 Box Office: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film jumps to Rs 6.50 crore on Independence Day
The Independence Day jump should have been bigger, but the reports are probably mixed, curtailing the chances of a big number. At one point of time through the advance sales cycle based on the trends, Coolie looking like a Rs 6.50 crore opener, but the film settled with a first day of Rs 4.25 crore. The film is doing well in single screens and will probably be the second highest-grossing Tamil Film in Hindi by the end of its run, which is good for optics, but the success tag would depend on the business it does post Monday.
The film has faced competition with War 2 in Hindi, and could have done better without the opponent, as both the films catered largely to the masses. Coolie is continuing to do well in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and even Andhra Pradesh/Telangana on the second day, though some early cracks are visible on the second day in international markets.
The Independence Day holiday has helped Coolie, though the jump had the scope to be higher given that the film has seen a release on about 1400 screens in North India.
Here's a look at day-wise box office of Coolie
Thursday: Rs 4.25 crore
Friday: Rs 6.50 crore (Estimates)
Total: Rs 10.75 crore

Gangster Salman Tyagi found dead in Mandoli jail, suicide suspected
Gangster Salman Tyagi, who had several several criminal cases registered against him in the Capital, including murder and extortion, was found dead in Northeast Delhi's Mandoli jail on Saturday, police said, adding that they suspect that he died by suicide. Tyagi was allegedly found hanging with a bedsheet in his cell during a routine inspection, said prison authorities. Prison officials said the circumstances around his death are being closely examined. A detailed report is awaited. 'A probe has been initiated. We are trying to ascertain how the incident occurred and what led him to take this step,' a senior police officer said. Tyagi had been convicted under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and was counted among the infamous gangsters in the city. Sources said he was initially working with the Neeraj Bawana gang but eventually broke away in a bid to establish his own identity. Over the past few years, he is believed to have tried aligning with Lawrence Bishnoi's syndicate. Even from behind bars, sources said, Tyagi continued illegal activities. Last year, he allegedly ordered an attack on two businessmen in the Capital to pressure them into paying Rs 50 lakh as extortion. The incident, according to investigators, was meant to highlight his ability to carry out high-profile crimes despite being in custody and to win Bishnoi's confidence. Beyond the world of crime, Tyagi cultivated a parallel identity on social media. Officers said he was fascinated by Bollywood and often drew inspiration from actor Salman Khan. Adopting Khan's look from the 2003 Hindi film 'Tere Naam', Tyagi grew his hair long, posting pictures in similar poses and uploading them across multiple accounts on YouTube and Instagram, said police sources. He remained active online even after his arrest, officers said, directing associates to shoot reels of him during court appearances and post them to boost his visibility.
