Coolie Box Office Collection Day 3: Rajinikanth's Coolie, which marks the superstar's 50 years in the industry, witnessed a slowdown in its numbers on Saturday, August 16, a day after the Independence Day holiday. However, this has not stopped the movie from inching very close to yet another milestone at the Indian box office— ₹ 150 crore—on the third day of its release. Coolie's grand opening day collection made it the biggest opener of the year in India in 2025. By day 2, the movie had already hit the ₹ 100 crore milestone, with a collection of ₹ 119.75 crore. The movie has been released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, boosting a pan-India appeal. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is very close to hitting the ₹ 150 crore milestone on Saturday, Day 3. On Saturday, August 16, the Rajinikanth movie minted ₹ 24.29 crore by 7:00 PM. Both the superstar actor and the hit filmmaker achieved their personal career-best opening day with Coolie, surpassing all previous films in their respective records. However, the movie hit a slump after its record-breaking opening and has witnessed a decline in its earnings since. With this, Coolie's 3-day total now stands at ₹ 144.04 crore. The total earnings will be revised later in the evening, once the figures for the night show are declared. Coolie had an overall 61.42% Tamil occupancy on Saturday: Coolie had an overall 36.70% Hindi occupancy on Saturday: Coolie, the biggest Indian opener of 2025 at the worldwide box office, earned a gross of ₹ 245 crore globally on Day 2. Of this, the movie minted ₹ 103.25 crore overseas, while its India gross was ₹ 141.75 crore. Sacnilk said Coolie became the first Tamil movie to cross the ₹ 150 crore worldwide mark on its opening day, cementing its place in cinematic history.

Rajinikanth beats Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Vijay: Coolie breaks several records at box-office, check full list here

The superstar has shown no signs of slowing down. With Coolie, Rajinikanth has once again taken over theatres across the world, delivering a storm at the box office that few could have predicted. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has turned into more than just a release — it's an event. What records has Coolie broken already? Day one itself set the tone. The film opened to a staggering Rs 151 crore worldwide gross, a figure no Tamil film had ever touched before. It smashed past Lokesh's previous outing Leo, which stood at Rs 143 crore. In the larger Indian context, too, no 2025 film has been able to match this debut. The earlier benchmark was Ram Charan's Game Changer at Rs 80 crore, while War 2 with Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan could only tie that number. Where does it stand among Indian originals? When you look at all-time openings by original Indian films (excluding sequels), only three names sit higher than Coolie: RRR with Rs 223 crore, Kalki 2898 AD with Rs 178 crore, and Salaar with Rs 158 crore. Every other bigger opener has relied on sequels, which makes Coolie's entry even more remarkable. How fast did it race past Rs 100 crore? In India, the film crossed the Rs 100-crore net mark in just two days — something no Tamil film had done before. Rajinikanth's own 2.0 and Vijay's Leo took three days to reach the same milestone. Globally, in only 48 hours, Coolie collected over Rs 250 crore, already outshining Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly, which wrapped up at Rs 248 crore. Yes. Coolie's momentum began long before the first show. The film made headlines by clocking Rs 109 crore in pre-release ticket sales, the highest ever for a Tamil film. This massive demand was a clear sign of the storm that would follow. How big could it get? At its current pace, Coolie is galloping towards Rs 300 crore worldwide and Rs 200 crore in India. If it continues like this, it may even outpace Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. In fact, among Indian films, only giants like Pushpa 2: The Rule, RRR, Baahubali 2, KGF Chapter 2, Kalki 2898 AD, and Jawan have raced faster. Coolie: Starcast Beyond Rajinikanth's towering presence, the film boasts a large ensemble. It features Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Upendra, while Aamir Khan steps in for a cameo that adds further weight to the spectacle. Coolie is not just another Rajinikanth film. It is a reminder of his unmatched pull across generations and geographies. At 74, he isn't merely acting; he's redefining the very meaning of box office power.
