Coolie Day 3 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth crime-drama looks to do an excellent Rs 48 crore gross on 1st Saturday BUT...
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth had yet another excellent day at the India box office, grossing Rs 47-48 crore. These are excellent numbers but the trend is slightly worrisome. The movie opened to collections of Rs 75.50 crore, added Rs 63.50 crore on day 2 (Independence Day holiday) and is likely putting up Rs 47.50 crore on day 3, taking the 3 day cume to Rs 186.50 crore. Going by how it is doing, the Sunday collections are going to drop down to around Rs 40 crore, giving the movie a weekend of a little over Rs 225 crore. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections 1 Rs 75.50 crore 2 Rs 63.50 crore 3 Rs 47.50 crore Total Rs 186.50 crore Coolie's Rs 47.50 Crore Day 3 Is Excellent But Given How It Started, The Numbers Should Have Been Closer To Rs 60 Crore If the Saturday numbers of Coolie are seen, not taking into consideration the fact that it opened to the numbers it did, they are excellent and not many Tamil movies have really been able to manage it. The collections for the Tamil version of Coolie are on a steep fall. It is the Hindi and Telugu version collections that are sustaining to a degree. After Sunday, it is likely that the drops will be significant even for the Hindi and Telugu version. Regardless, the movie has already punched above its weight for these two versions. The underperformance in the home market will end up being the most talked thing about this Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial. If the trend is to be analysed, it will end up doing lower than what Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly did in Tamil Nadu. Coolie Heads For A Rs 500 Crore Range Worldwide Finish Unless Something Surprising Happens Coolie heads for a near Rs 500 crore global finish, but even that is subject to how it holds. The global weekend of Coolie will be around Rs 375 crore and for it to add less than Rs 125 crore after that will not be seen well. All things said, Coolie will still be among the top 5 highest Kollywood grosser worldwide and that just proves how big Rajinikanth continues to be. He will have 3 films in the top 5 list and what's important to note is that it is with 3 different directors. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Bobby Deol's biggest flop film, even Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar failed to save it, made for Rs 20 crore, earned just Rs..., movie is...
Bobby Deol began his Bollywood career with the 1995 hit Barsaat, immediately making waves. The early years seemed promising with a few successful films, but over time, several flops dulled his star power. What went wrong with the star-studded film? In 2004, Bobby shared screen space with legends Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan in Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon, directed by Anil Sharma. The film also featured Divya Khosla, Sandali Sinha, Nagma, Danny Dengzongpa, Ashutosh Rana, and Govind Namdev. Despite a Rs 20 crore budget, the film managed just Rs 11.56 crore in India and Rs 19.16 crore worldwide, making it a clear box office flop. Even the presence of top stars couldn't save it. How did Bobby Deol make his triumphant return? Fast forward to 2023, Bobby reinvented himself as a villain in Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. Playing the role of Abrar Haq, he received wide acclaim for his dark, intense performance. The film shattered expectations, earning over Rs 900 crore worldwide and setting multiple box office records, reestablishing Bobby Deol as a force to be reckoned with in Bollywood. Bobby Deol's comeback Bobby Deol's journey highlights the unpredictable nature of stardom. From early hits to major flops, and now a celebrated return as a powerful villain, his story proves that reinvention and timing can revive even a fading career. Animal's success has not only brought him back into the limelight but also reminded fans why his screen presence remains magnetic.
