Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna's gangster drama crosses Rs 200 crore mark in India, but where is War 2?
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Only a few people in their lifetime earn respect, name, fame, and money like Rajinikanth. The actor is hailed as a demigod in the South, and fans go crazy every time a new movie of his hits the big screen. Something similar happened with Lokesh Kanagaraj's film Coolie. From long queues to celebrations outside the theater halls—you name it, and it happens every time a Thalaivar film releases. While the film had a thunderous start at the box office, it enjoyed strong numbers over the Independence Day weekend, but collections have started to dip as the weekdays set in. Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6 Detailed Analysis As per early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie's box office collection on day 6 stood at Rs 9.50 crore. Coming to Coolie's box office collection on day 1 and 2, the movie minted Rs 65 crore and Rs 54 crore, respectively. Coolie was released in 4 languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada. The Tamil belt turned out to be the highest revenue generator. Over days 3, 4, and 5, Coolie earned Rs 39 crore, Rs 35 crore, and Rs 12 crore, respectively. Coolie Gives Tough Competition to War 2 Despite the slowdown, Rajinikanth's action drama has surpassed the Rs 200 crore mark in India, a milestone that has fans rejoicing. However, it continues to face tough competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which hit theaters on the same day. Coolie Movie Review Coolie movie review by reads, 'Overall, Coolie aspires to be a mass entertainer but is hindered by a fragmented storyline and underdeveloped characters. The ensemble cast's potential is largely untapped, and the narrative's lack of focus detracts from the overall experience. It misses the mark on multiple fronts, making it an unexpected misstep in Lokesh's otherwise strong filmography.'
