Coolie Hindi Box Office Day 6: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's film nets Rs 1.50 crore Tuesday, targets to wrap 1st week under Rs 25 crore
Coolie: The Powerhouse, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth in the titular role, has started losing its grip at the Hindi box office. The movie, which started on an encouraging note, is now facing the wrath of mixed word-of-mouth. Coolie collects Rs 1.40 crore on Day 6; eyes to wrap extended week under Rs 25 crore Co-starring an ensemble star cast that includes Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan in cameo roles, the movie wrapped its opening weekend at Rs 18.50 crore in Hindi. It further recorded a massive drop of 70% on Monday over its first day and collected Rs 1.30 crore. According to estimates, Coolie minted another Rs 1.40 crore on Tuesday, remaining more or less stagnant, even on Discount Tuesday. A slightly muted response on Discount Tuesday can be due to the rains in Mumbai and other parts of India. The 6-day cume of Coolie: The Powerhouse is around Rs 21.20 crore net in Hindi. The movie is expected to wind its extended opening week around Rs 23 crore to Rs 24 crore net at the Hindi box office. The Rajinikanth starrer will have to show better trends in the second weekend to sail through a decent theatrical run. Based on current trends, the project is expected to finish between Rs 35 crore and Rs 40 crore. Day-wise box office collections of Coolie: The Powerhouse in Hindi: Coolie trails behind War 2 in the North markets, faces stiff competition from Mahavatar Narsimha The Lokesh Kanagaraj movie remained far behind War 2 only in the Hindi belt. It maintained a significant lead elsewhere, including the Telugu circuit. Coolie also faced stiff competition with the holdover release, Mahavatar Narsimha, which is still doing wonders at the box office in the 4th week. The animated movie collected Rs 18.15 crore during the four-day-long Independence Day weekend, against Coolie's Rs 18.50 crore. It's pretty clear how content transcends star power and what strong word-of-mouth can do! Coolie in cinemas Coolie is now playing in cinemas.

War 2 Hindi Box Office Day 6: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's spy film adds Rs 7 crore on discounted Tuesday, crosses Rs 135 crore mark
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, continues to struggle at the box office. The movie has remained more or less stagnant on Tuesday over its disappointing first Monday, despite discounted ticket prices. War 2 nets Rs 7 crore on Day 6, likely to wrap under Ek Tha Tiger's lifetime earnings Bankrolled by Yash Raj Films, War 2 could add just Rs 7 crore net to the tally on its first Tuesday, following an underwhelming opening weekend of Rs 125 crore and a disappointing Monday of Rs 6.75 crore. The total cume of War 2 now stands at Rs 138.75 crore net at the Indian box office. The spy action drama led by two A-list stars of Hindi and Telugu cinema is expected to wind its extended opening week around Rs 148-150 crore net. The Hrithik-NTR film still has one week for a clean run as Maddock Films' Param Sundari is arriving on August 29 to grab most of the screens. Based on the current trends, the movie is expected to wrap its theatrical run under YRF Spy Universe's pioneer film, Ek Tha Tiger's lifetime earnings. This is a baffling result for such a well-budgeted 2025 movie release. The next film in the spy-verse is Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, and Bobby Deol. Let's see whether Alpha can bring back the glory of the spy universe to YRF or not. The Day Wise Hindi Net Collection Of War 2 In India Is As Under War 2 in cinemas War 2 is now playing in cinemas. Tickets can be booked from the online web portals or you can grab them from the counter itself. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
