Top Kollywood Opening Day Box Office in Hindi: Coolie aims for 2nd spot; Rajinikanth dominates
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, with a bunch of other big Indian film actors like Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Shruti Haasan and others, is all set to hit Indian theatres on 14th August, 2025. The hype for the movie is euphoric and same can be seen in the movie's advance bookings all across. The film gears up for an all time Kollywood record USD 8 million internationally for its opening day. The collection across southern states is expected to be near-recordbreaking too. Coolie Gears Up To Take The 2nd Biggest Opening In Hindi Among Kollywood Movies The biggest market that Coolie aims to conquer is the Hindi market. Tamil movies in general have not done too well in the Hindi market, barring exceptions. Rajinikanth has been the only actor to really make inroads in the Hindi market with his Tamil movies. The highest opening Kollywood movie in Hindi dubbed is the actor's own 2.0. It is followed by Kabali, again his own. Going by Coolie's advance bookings in Hindi, it is safe to say that it is going to take an opening in the vicinity of Rs 6 crore or so. That would make it the second biggest Kollywood opener in Hindi, and that would be an excellent result for a movie clashing with a Bollywood giant like War 2, and a holdover release as strong as Mahavatar Narsimha. Also, Coolie isn't a film designed keeping Hindi film audiences in mind, like 2.0, so that's another vital point to consider. Following is a list of the highest opening Kollywood movies in Hindi (Net) 1. 2.0 - Rs 19.75 crore 2. Kabali - Rs 3.50 crore 3. Kanguva - Rs 3.30 crore 4. Leo - Rs 3 crore 5. Ponniyin Selvan II - Rs 2 crore Coolie Challenges Leo To Take The Biggest Kollywood Opening Of All Time, Worldwide Coolie targets an opening of Rs 135 - 150 crore worldwide. The movie challenges Leo to become the highest opening Kollywood movie worldwide. In a no-clash scenario, this could have been a done deal. But due to the clash, it may not reach its real potential. Regardless, all things considered, Coolie is a very safe proposition for everyone involved because the global extended weekend collections alone will be near Rs 400 crore gross.

Last Updated: War 2 director Ayan Mukerji clears up rumours about Jr NTR's War 2 entry and hints at a surprise twist that hasn't been revealed in trailers. Fans have been eager to see how Jr NTR will step into Bollywood with War 2, and director Ayan Mukerji has finally addressed one of the biggest rumours. At a pre-release event in Hyderabad on 10 August, he spoke about the Telugu superstar's role and teased a surprise that's still under wraps. Responding to the buzz that Jr NTR only appears at the halfway mark, Ayan laughed it off. 'We are smart enough not to make a movie where he comes in only at the interval point. That much sense we have. But I can assure you that Jr NTR's entry sequence is one of the major highlights of the film, and you have to watch War 2 and discover that on your own." War 2 Director Ayan Mukerji Says Big Surprise Waiting for 14 August While the trailers and songs have already set high expectations, the director said audiences haven't seen the full picture yet. 'I know there's a lot of excitement, especially in this part of the country, to see the film because of our trailers and songs. But actually, I think everybody is in for a real surprise on August 14 when the film releases. Because the story of the film and the real soul of the film, we have not yet revealed at all. I am really looking forward to experiencing that." War 2 – Cast, Story Universe and Box Office Clash War 2 marks the sixth instalment in YRF's spy universe, with Hrithik Roshan returning as Kabir, Jr NTR as the antagonist, and Kiara Advani as the female lead. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, it follows the 2019 hit War. The film lands in cinemas on 14 August, facing off against Coolie, an action thriller featuring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Upendra, with a special appearance by Aamir Khan. War 2 Cameo The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR film is set to feature an unexpected addition to its cast. While rumours had been swirling that Salman Khan's Tiger or Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan might appear in the film's end credits, insiders confirm that neither superstar will make a cameo. Instead, audiences will be introduced to a new character played by Bobby Deol. According to sources close to the production, War 2 will not feature direct appearances from the YRF Spy Universe's leading agents, Tiger or Pathaan, though both will be referenced during key moments in the storyline. About War 2 Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 marks the sixth chapter of the YRF Spy Universe and is expected to set the stage for Alpha, the next major entry in the franchise. The film will release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on August 14, 2025. It stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. The story of War 2 brings a powerful showdown between Hrithik Roshan's Major Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR's Vikram. Both play Indian spies, but they see patriotism in completely different ways. This difference sets the stage for a battle that's not just about action, but also about beliefs. Kiara Advani plays Kavya Luthra, a key character who will have an important part in how the story unfolds. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is a sequel to the 2019 hit War, which featured Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor.
