Coolie Box Office Collection Day 2: Biggest opener of 2025, Rajinikanth's movie crosses ₹100 crore milestone

Coolie Box Office Collection Day 2: Coolie, which is already leading all 2025 releases in India to be the biggest opener of the year, has now crossed the ₹ 100 crore milestone at the Indian box office. Released on Thursday, August 14, superstar Rajinikanth's movie is setting the bar for domestic box office performance this year. Coolie has been released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, boosting its pan-India appeal. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has already surpassed the ₹ 100 crore milestone in just two days. On Friday, August 15, the Rajinikanth movie minted ₹ 40.57 crore. With this, the record-breaking, Coolie's 2-day total stands at ₹ 105.57 crore. Sacnilk said ticket prices surged dramatically, reaching as high as ₹ 4,500 in Chennai. Both the superstar actor and the hit filmmaker achieved their personal career-best opening day with Coolie ( ₹ 65 crore), surpassing all previous films in their respective records. Coolie became the first Tamil movie to cross the 150 crores worldwide mark on its opening day, cementing its place in cinematic history, said Sacnilk. Minting ₹ 153 crore globally, Coolie is the biggest Indian opener of 2025 at the worldwide box office. Singapore even granted paid leave for fans wanting to watch Coolie on opening day. Trade analysts estimate it needs around ₹ 600 crore worldwide to be considered a hit. Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It is backed by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures. In addition to Rajinikanth in the lead, the film also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is also a part of the film in a cameo role as Daaha. Anirudh R scored the music and the songs of Coolie. The film has received mixed reactions from netizens so far. At the box office, it is clashing with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2.

This Actor Worked With Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Sridevi - Then Quit Fame At Career Peak

Last Updated: Mangal Dhillon rose to fame in films and TV with Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha, yet walked away at his peak, seeking peace in spirituality and service. Whenever Mangal Dhillon appeared on screen, audiences were instantly drawn to his powerful baritone and dignified presence. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was one of television's most respected stars and a familiar face in Hindi cinema, sharing screens with icons like Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Anil Kapoor, and Sridevi. Yet, at the peak of his success, Dhillon shocked many by stepping away from the limelight, trading stardom for a quieter path rooted in faith and service. Born on June 18, 1957, in Punjab's Wander Jatana village, Mangal was a bright child whose father envisioned a traditional career in law or administration. But his heart was always set on the arts. After excelling in school plays, he pursued higher education at Muktsar Government College before completing a post-graduate diploma in acting at Panjab University, where he was awarded a prestigious Gold Medal for performance. Breakthrough In Television And Films Dhillon's first screen break came with Doordarshan's anthology series Katha Sagar. But it was Ramesh Sippy's legendary show Buniyaad that catapulted him to fame. His character, Lubhaya Ram, resonated deeply with viewers, cementing him as one of television's most promising talents. He went on to deliver memorable performances in Junoon, The Great Maratha, and Panther, where his role as Sumer Rajvansh became widely admired. The transition to films was inevitable. His debut in Rakesh Roshan's Khoon Bhari Maang (1988), opposite Rekha and Kabir Bedi, showcased his screen presence. He followed it with Zakhmi Aurat, Vishwatma, and Kumar Shahani's art-house gem Khayal Gatha. Mangal also wrote the screenplay for Heer Ranjha, starring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, though the film failed commercially. Despite occasional setbacks, he became one of the highest-paid actors on television and a dependable face in cinema. Walking Away From Fame Even while enjoying popularity, Dhillon often spoke about feeling spiritually unsettled. Fame, glamour, and success did not satisfy his inner quest. In 1999, he directed the documentary Khalsa, focusing on Guru Gobind Singh's teachings. The overwhelming response reaffirmed his decision to step away from acting and dedicate his life to faith, community service, and humanitarian projects. His final television role was as Emperor Akbar in Noorjahan (2000), and his last film appearance came in Feroz Khan's Janasheen (2003). After leaving mainstream entertainment, Dhillon immersed himself in creating Sikh documentaries and later launched a YouTube channel to share motivational messages and guidance. In his later years, he battled cancer before passing away in 2023. Remembering him, Dr. Balbir Shah of DMCH Ludhiana shared: 'He used to bring patients to our nursing home as he cared deeply for others' health. He often spoke about drug abuse, farmers' struggles, and corruption. He entertained us with his film dialogues, but what impressed me most was his simplicity." Mangal Dhillon remains a reminder that true legacy lies not only in fame but in the values one lives by. His journey from stardom to spiritual pursuit continues to inspire many who seek deeper meaning beyond worldly success.
