Despite the star power and extensive promotions—rare for Pawan Kalyan, who is usually low-key about film publicity—the movie received a lukewarm response from critics and audiences. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹84.3 crore net in India and ₹113.85 crore worldwide. Given the high budget and production delays, the earnings were viewed as underwhelming.

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.

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.

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.
