Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth movie hits massive slowdown after earning ₹200 cr, mints THIS amount
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth's Coolie suffered a massive 65.96% slowdown in earnings on Monday, slowing down its dream run after the ₹ 200 crore milestone. On Tuesday, too, the movie did not pick up much momentum. The Rajinikanth movie, released on August 14 to mark the superstar's 50th year in the industry, enjoyed a record-breaking long weekend at the Indian box office. Coolie is facing fierce competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. Rajinikanth's Coolie stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde also appear in a cameo. According to early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, earned just ₹ 4.7 crore on Tuesday until 6:30 PM. This figure is significantly lower than what the movie earned during the long weekend. On Monday, the movie earned ₹ 12 crore, of which its Tamil variant contributed the maximum, ₹ 7.75 crore. With this, Coolie's 6-day total stands at ₹ 211.2 crore. The total earnings will be revised later in the evening, once the figures for the evening and night show are declared. The movie has been released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, boosting a pan-India appeal. Coolie, the biggest Indian opener of 2025 at the worldwide box office, earned a gross of ₹ 403 crore globally on Day 5. Of this, the movie minted ₹ 158.45 crore overseas, while its India gross was ₹ 244.55 crore. However, according to the moviemakers, Coolie raked in ₹ 404 crore gross in 4 days, and touted it to be the highest worldwide gross collection in the Tamil film industry. Sacnilk said Coolie became the first Tamil movie to cross the Rs150 crore worldwide mark on its opening day, cementing its place in cinematic history. Coolie's Day 6 global earnings will be published tomorrow, Wednesday.

AR Murugadoss reveals he first pitched Madharaasi to Shah Rukh Khan, not Sivakarthikeyan
Director AR Murugadoss' upcoming Tamil film Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, is slated for release on 5 September. However, in a recent interview with Galatta Plus, the filmmaker revealed that he initially planned on making the film in Hindi with Shah Rukh Khan as the lead. Here's why it didn't pan out. AR Murugadoss says Shah Rukh Khan was even interested in doing the film but it did not materialise. AR Murugadoss wanted Shah Rukh Khan in Madharaasi Murugadoss was asked if the chatter about him wanting to rope in Shah Rukh for Madharaasi is true. The filmmaker admitted it's true but claimed to have pitched only the lead character to the Bollywood star and not the whole story. He said, 'I didn't plan the whole film with Shah Rukh Khan, but I did pitch the character to him long back. I told him 7-8 years ago, and even he liked it.' He further explained, 'Back then, I only had the character…just an idea, not the full script. After watching the movie, you'll realise what I meant by character. At that time, cinematographer Ravi K Chandran arranged a meeting for me with Shah Rukh. He was so sweet and said we'll do the film. But the delay was very long, which is why it never materialised.' Murugadoss also claimed that after Ghajini with Aamir Khan in 2008, he wasn't motivated to work in Hindi. He also claimed that a lack of communication from the actor contributed to his abandoning the idea. Upcoming work Shah Rukh was last seen in the 2023 films Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. He is now shooting for Siddharth Anand's King with his daughter Suhana Khan. Murugadoss's last film was the Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar in Hindi in March this year. The filmmaker has since been vocal about why he believes the film failed to make a mark. His upcoming film Madharaasi stars Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal and Biju Menon in lead roles.
