Coolie box office collection Day 6: Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj's pan-Indian entertainer dips further, passes Rs 400 crore worldwide
Coolie box office collection Day 6: 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's highly-anticipated first collaboration with hotshot director Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie, had a record-breaking opening at the box office. But, like most films of its kind, it has witnessed a rapid decrease in earnings almost immediately. On its first Monday, Coolie dropped by a massive 65%, but managed to cross the Rs 200 crore mark domestically. At the worldwide box office, the film has passed the Rs 400 crore mark already, pushing past its reported budget of between Rs 350 crore and Rs 400 crore. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie made Rs 9.5 crore on day six of release across India, a noticeable drop from the Rs 12 crore that it made across the country on Monday. As usual, the lion's share of the revenue is coming from Tamil Nadu, while a decent chunk is coming from the film's Hindi dubbed version. Coolie hasn't made much of an impact in Karnataka and the Telugu-speaking states. But with over Rs 410 crore worldwide, it's almost certain to overtake Rajinikanth's Jailer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer was released in 2023, and it made more than Rs 600 crore worldwide. Also read – The Coolie effect: The star ensemble problem with our blockbuster cinema Coolie opened on August 14, a day prior to Independence Day, against the big-budget Hindi film War 2. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film had a major opening as well, aided by the Telugu star's fan following in his home state. However, War 2 is already being perceived as an underperformer. The movie made Rs 8.2 crore on day six, and is yet to pass the Rs 200 crore mark. Reviews for Coolie were mixed, with Rajinikanth's die-hard fans expressing satisfaction. But the general audiences felt like there something left to be desired. High-profile cameos by Aamir Khan and Nagarjuna also raised eyebrows, as did a colouful performance by Soubin Sahir. With these three actors on board, along with Rajinikanth at the helm, the producers covered all their bases and appealed to all four of India's major film industries. However, the filmmakers have been criticised for reverse-engineering a 'pan-Indian project' from the ground-up, without catering to the 'Superstar's core audience. He will next star in Jailer 2, the sequel to his massive 2023 hit.

'Coolie' producers take legal route; challenges A certificate in court; read more
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' continues to remain the talk of the town—not just for its roaring box office numbers but also for the controversy surrounding its censor certification. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the gangster action-drama opened to a thunderous start, collecting Rs 65 crore on its release day and touching an impressive Rs 400 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, as reported by the Sacnilk website. Meanwhile, the film had received an unexpected 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and now the producers have decided to take the legal route. Coolie | Song - I Am The Danger (Lyrical) As reported by 123 Telugu website, Sun Pictures has approached the Madras High Court, challenging the 'A' certificate. For the first time in nearly three decades, a Rajinikanth film was given an adults-only rating—an unusual move that restricted family audiences, especially children, from watching the film in multiplexes. Reportedly, the production house has now requested the court to downgrade the film to a 'U/A,' citing that Coolie doesn't contain extreme violence or explicit content. Many netizens, however, are puzzled about why the challenge came so late, arguing that the damage to its family audience base has already been done. Box office still holding strong Despite the certification controversy, 'Coolie' has held its ground at the ticket windows. According to early estimates, the film earned Rs 9.50 crore on Tuesday (Day 6), taking its total net collection in India to Rs 216 crore. While the opening day created history with Rs 65 crore, Friday saw a dip to Rs 54.75 crore. Mixed reviews for Lokesh Kanagaraj's film On the other hand, 'Coolie' is receiving mixed reviews from the audiences, mainly due to plot holes and also a less engaging narrative when compared to other Lokesh Kanagaraj films like 'Vikram', 'Kaithi'. Even with mixed reviews, with no major competitions ahead, 'Coolie' will surely wreak havoc at the box office.
