Coolie could have had the highest Kollywood opening weekend of all time in India, but the word of mouth of the movie was just not there, resulting in a mediocre trend. Having said that, 2.0's trend wasn't any better, and with a strong word of mouth, it could have put up a higher number too. Coolie Packs The 2nd Highest India Gross Collections For A Kollywood Movie In The 1st 4 Days Of Its Run The list of the highest 4 day collections for Kollywood movies is dominated by Rajinikanth and Vijay. Both actors have 4 in the list and that will remain the same after Jana Nayagan and Jailer 2 release because the 9th and 10th film in the list currently is also theirs. Have a look at the list.
