Coolie Box Office Collection: Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna's film nears Rs 300 crore in 3 days, overseas century seals top-3 spot
Superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie has set theatres buzzing in 2025. While Hindi audiences have given it only a fair response, the film is ruling in Tamil and other languages. Overseas, it's a full-blown storm. According to Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 38.50 crore in India on its third day, which was a drop of Rs 16.25 crore compared to the day before. Still, the numbers remain solid, taking its domestic three-day total to Rs 158.25 crore. What about the worldwide box office? The real surprise lies overseas. Within two days, Coolie had already collected Rs 103.25 crore internationally. Fans abroad are making Rajini's 50th year in cinema unforgettable. Add that to its Indian numbers, and the worldwide total after three days has touched Rs 283.50 crore. With a budget in the range of Rs 350–400 crore, the film is already inching close to its cost within the opening weekend itself. Is Coolie one of Rajini's biggest hits? Yes. In just three days, Coolie has become the third biggest film of Rajinikanth's career. The only two films ahead are Jailer with Rs 605 crore and 2.0 with Rs 675 crore. Even without day 3's overseas numbers, Coolie is well on track to cross the Rs 300 crore mark, which would cement its place among his all-time blockbusters. Why does the overseas response matter so much? Rajinikanth's magic has always had a global pull. In recent years, international markets have played a key role in pushing his films into record-breaking zones. With Coolie, the trend continues, as audiences outside India have already delivered a century in just two days. By conservative estimates, even if the film adds Rs 12–20 crore from overseas on day 3, the worldwide tally could rise to Rs 295–300 crore. The bigger picture Coolie isn't just another release—it's Rajinikanth's celebration of 50 years in cinema. The film is already his third biggest grosser and is well-positioned to challenge Jailer and 2.0 in the weeks to come. Whether it becomes 2025's top earner or not, one thing is certain—Rajini's storm has once again shaken Indian cinema.

‘Rajesh Khanna fought with income tax officer over overdue tax amount of Rs 45 lakh,' recalls Anita Advani: ‘He threatened to seal his bungalow'
Hindi cinema's first superstar Rajesh Khanna married 15-year-old Dimple Kapadia when he was 30 years old. However, their marriage wasn't a happy one and they eventually started living separately. As Rajesh never divorced Dimple, his relationship with Anita Advani created quite a stir. In a recent interaction, Anita spoke about living with Rajesh during the decline of his stardom and recalled how the actor once fought with an income tax officer over Rs 45 lakh in overdue taxes. Speaking on the YouTube channel Meri Saheli, Anita clarified the rumours that Rajesh's house was sealed and he lived in his office. She said, 'I had heard people say that Rajesh Khanna's house was sealed and he used to live in his office. This is absolutely wrong; he never lived in his office. The house was never sealed. There was a problem in the Income Tax in 1991.' Anita elaborated, 'He (Rajesh Khanna) never used to see the documents and he didn't know what income tax was. Whatever his team would tell him to give, he would give that amount. If he was asked to give one lakh, he would call his CA to ask 'how many zeros showed I put.' Then tax became overdue and he or his team did not pay attention to it. He didn't even know that. He didn't know anything about chartered accountancy, and suddenly, he was asked to pay Rs 45 lakh.' Anita recalled Rajesh Khanna himself going to meet the income tax officer over the tax overdue notice. 'Then he got into an argument with an income tax officer. He went to personally meet him. The officer threatened him that he will seal his house and also thwart the release of his film,' she said. However, Anita revealed that he eventually paid the amount and the home was never sealed. In the same interaction, Anita Advani talked about how she secretly married Rajesh Khanna and why they never declared their marriage in public. 'We got married privately, but in the film industry, no one talks about such things openly. Everyone says 'we're friends' or 'we're in a relationship' or something else. But it was already reported in the media that I was with him, so neither of us felt the need to go and publicly announce that we were married. We never felt that need.'
