Coolie Hindi Advance Booking: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's film on track for a Rs 5 crore opening, sells 25,000 tickets in National Chains
Coolie sells 25,500 tickets in top national chains, eyes 35K final
As of 5 PM (August 13), Coolie- The Powerhouse sold over 25,500 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the opening day alone. Of which, 19,500 tickets were sold at PVR Inox, while the latter recorded 6000 admissions.
With 8 hours still available, Coolie is likely to add 10,000 more tickets and close its advance booking in Hindi at around 35,000. This is a reasonably good pre-sales for a Tamil movie that is releasing alongside a tent-pole Hindi actioner- War 2. Moreover, Coolie is releasing on limited screens against the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR film in the North market.
Coolie targets an opening of Rs 5 crore in Hindi
The Rajinikanth starrer is targeting an opening of Rs 5 crore at the Hindi box office. It will be a solid opening considering the limited showcasing. The movie should aim for good growth both in footfalls and at the box office over the weekend. Since it is releasing on Thursday, it will have the benefit of a 4-day long weekend.
If the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial manages to open with positive word-of-mouth in the Hindi region, it will easily post a good opening weekend of Rs 20 crore to Rs 30 crore. Unlike other Tamil movies, Coolie is releasing in significant national chains in Hindi and has opted for an 8-week OTT window, which can benefit the movie in a big way.
It will be interesting to see whether Coolie emerges as the biggest Tamil grosser in Hindi in the post-pandemic times, surpassing Thalapathy Vijay's Leo (Hindi).

Krishna's kindness
Unable to bear the atrocities of Kamsa, everyone, from ordinary people to devas, aligned with the goddess of earth, Bhooma Devi, and decided to petition Maha Vishnu in person. At that moment, Vishnu Himself declared through an oracle that He would manifest on earth as Krishna and end Kamsa's cruelty. Overjoyed by this, the devas wanted to know if they should all turn into monkeys and populate Kishkinta country, as they had been advised by Him, ahead of His Rama avatar. An amused Vishnu responded, saying they could take any form they desired, from animate to inanimate, and await Him in Brindavan. They promptly landed on Nandagopal's property, who was astounded by the sudden spurt in the population of his cattle, said Damal Perundevi. Having already chosen His earth parents Devaki and Vasudeva and the foster parents Nandagopa and Yasoda, Vishnu asked Adisesha to precede Him as Balaram, conceived by Devaki, but delivered by Vasudeva's other wife through fetal transfer, while He Himself would arrive as the younger brother. Kamsa, Devaki's brother, celebrated her marriage to Vasudeva in a grand manner, bursting with brotherly love, when an oracle declared that the newly-wed's eighth child would kill Kamsa. An angry Kamsa was about to kill Devaki at once, when Vasudeva intervened and promised to deliver the new borns to him. Appeased somewhat, Kamsa then lodged the couple in a jail. Vasudeva did as promised. When Krishna's time to emerge came about, at midnight in the Tamil month of Avani, on Ashtami, under the Rohini star, Krishna decided to be born with His full regalia. His trademark weapons took on miniature form, the tiny crown glistened on His forehead, replete with peacock feather, and He sported a piece of yellow silk cloth around His waist, while the ankles jangled to the tinkle of bells from the anklet. Why did Krishna bedeck Himself so? It is because He was aware that Devaki would get but a fleeting glance at Him before He was given up. As a mother, the agony of such a parting is immeasurable and out of kindness, He decided that Devaki should get a good look at him, in full splendour.
