The new release witnessed a rise in footfalls and collections; however, not to the level that it should have. One of the main factors that affected its growth was the Mumbai rains. It comes a day after the devotional blockbuster fetched Rs 1.5 crore net business in Hindi. Now, the cume collection of Ashwin Kumar's directorial in Hindi stands at Rs 147.15 crore so far. Weeks/Days The figures exclude 3D handling charges.

Coolie Tamil Nadu Day 6 Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth's movie slumps further, adds only Rs 4 crore
Directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, Coolie was released in cinemas on August 14, 2025, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend. The Tamil action thriller, led by Rajinikanth, was dubbed into the Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada languages. After its extended opening weekend, Coolie looks to slump at the Kollywood box office. Coolie fetches Rs 4 crore on Day 6 in Tamil Nadu markets Produced under the banner of Sun Pictures, Coolie maintained an excellent hold in its extended opening weekend in Tamil Nadu. The Rajinikanth-led movie collected Rs 96 crore gross, including Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is among the top 3 Kollywood movies to have had the highest first four-day collections of all time in its home state. The action thriller observed a big drop on the first Monday, collecting only Rs 6 crore. Now, as per estimates, the numbers tumbled further to Rs 4 crore gross on the first Tuesday. Coolie has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the Kollywood box office, while bringing a cume gross collection of Rs 106 crore. Coolie will struggle to enter Rs 150 crore club in the state Going by the trends, it is unlikely that Coolie will be able to smash into the Rs 150 crore club in Tamil Nadu. Based on the opening, it should have been targetting Rs 200 crore plus in the state instead. Lokesh Kanagaraj's latest directorial, which clashed with War 2, will be perceived as a film that didn't match its potential. With Rajinikanth 's star power and good word of mouth, it could have been the highest-grossing Tamil movie of all time. However, the recently released action thriller will now end in the top six highest-grossing films in Kollywood. Coolie may touch the top 5 list, but that's going to be tight. Coolie is a big hit as per the collections. Though it will emerge as an underwhelming performer. Coolie In Theaters Coolie plays in theaters now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

NHAI Issues Over 5 Lakh FASTag Annual Toll Passes, Collects Rs 150 Crore Revenue
New Delhi: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has sold over 5 lakh FASTag-based annual toll permits in just four days, collecting Rs 150 crore in revenue. Tamil Nadu recorded the highest number of purchases of annual passes in four days, followed by Karnataka and Haryana. Further, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh recorded the highest number of transactions through FASTag annual passes at toll plazas, a statement by NHAI said. Private vehicles can now use an annual toll pass for free passage through toll plazas on national highways and expressways, with each pass priced at Rs 3,000. Cars, jeeps, and vans can use this facility at toll plazas run by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The pass is valid for one year from activation or for 200 toll trips, whichever occurs first. When the limit is reached, the FASTag automatically switches to standard pay-per-trip mode. For point-based toll plazas, each one-way crossing counts as a trip, and a return counts as two. In closed or ticketed systems, a complete entry-to-exit journey counts as one trip. Some FASTags, especially those issued for new vehicles, may only be registered with the vehicle's chassis number. The Annual Pass cannot be activated on such FASTags and they should be updated to include the complete vehicle registration number. The pass is available for purchase via the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app, NHAI or MoRTH websites, or authorised FASTag issuer portals. Payment for the pass (Rs 3,000) can be made via UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking. FASTag wallet balances cannot be used for this purpose. Activation is usually completed within two hours and confirmed by SMS. The average toll for a passenger vehicle is about Rs 50. Completing 200 trips in a year without the pass would cost around Rs 10,000. With the annual pass, the cost is fixed at Rs. 3,000, which saves about Rs. 7,000 for frequent highway travellers.
