Coolie v/s LEO Worldwide Day 1 Box Office Comparison: Superstar Rajinikanth & Thalapathy Vijay's close fight for number 1 spot
Coolie Beats Leo To Emerge As The Biggest Kollywood Opener Of All Time; Grosses Over Rs 150 Crore
Coolie collected over Rs 150 crore, despite its high profile clash with War 2. The day 1 collections would have been even more if not for the clash. Rajinikanth has proven his enduring global appeal, yet again. Even after 50 years of being in the movie business, he is able to bring crowds to theatres in hordes. It is difficult to keep surprising and exciting audiences, but Rajinikanth has been able to do so.
Rajinikanth And Vijay Engage In An Intense Battle For The Top Spot
Vijay, in the last 10 years, has given the Superstar a run for his money, especially in the Tamil Nadu and Kerala market. In the last 5 years, there have been instances where Vijay has even gone ahead of the legend. But in general, it is a nail-biting contest for the top spot. Other stars like Ajith Kumar and Kamal Haasan follow suit, but they don't find themselves in competition for the throne, currently.
Coolie's International Collections Play A Major Role In Helping It Take The Biggest Kollywood Opening
Leo leads Coolie in domestic opening day collections, but Coolie's international collections are much higher than Leo, helping it take the initial lead. Leo's Rs 77 crore dwarfs Coolie's Rs 75.25 crore domestically, but Coolie's Rs 75.50 crore international gross stands tall in front of Leo's Rs 67 crore.
The Territorial Comparison Between Leo And Coolie For The Opening Day Is As Under
How Much Can Coolie Gross Worldwide, In Its Lifetime?
Leo went on to gross around Rs 620 crore worldwide and it is to be seen, how far Coolie can go from here. A Rs 500 crore plus gross seems certain but whether it can breach Rs 600 crore too, is to be seen.

Hema Malini once rejected this film of Raj Kapoor, later became a blockbuster but left Ranbir Kapoor's grandfather disappointed, film was.., earned Rs..
Hema Malini once rejected this film of Raj Kapoor, later became a blockbuster but left Ranbir Kapoor's grandfather disappointed, film was.., earned Rs.. In the golden era of cinema, actors came and went. But most of them had a dream of working with the most sought-after and visionary director of those times, Raj Kapoor. It was believed that a film with Raj Kapoor could redefine an actor's career and give him an assured ticket to stardom. But amongst the many budding actors who were just waiting for one opportunity of collaboration with Raj, there was one actress who rejected his offer, and this really disappointed the showman. The actress that we are talking about is none other than the 'Dream Girl' of Bollywood, Hema Malini. Hema Malini ventured into the world of films and began her career at a very young age. She first appeared in the South film industry and later entered Bollywood with Raj Kapoor himself, who gave her one of her earliest breaks. Her Bollywood debut was with the showman himself, also famously known as today's superstar Ranbir Kapoor. As soon as she entered Bollywood, she captivated the hearts of many and then never looked back. She quickly became one of the most sought-after actresses of her time. Why did Hema Malini reject Raj Kapoor's film? Years later, Raj Kapoor personally approached Hema Malini once again, this time with an offer for his ambitious film Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978). For this film, Raj even visited her residence to narrate the story and her role. But unexpectedly, Hema Malini, who made her debut with this celebrated filmmaker, turned down the offer. As soon as Hema heard about the character, she politely declined. The reason? Her role in the film was extremely bold, and Hema, despite being a superstar, did not want to take on such a character on the big screen. Who took over the role later? Later, this role, which was declined by Hema, went to Zeenat Aman, who portrayed it with great confidence. This Raj Kapoor film also featured Shashi Kapoor in the lead role, and it went on to become a significant hit. Made on a budget of ₹1.60 crore, it earned nearly ₹4.50 crore worldwide, almost 4 times what it cost. Even though this highly ambitious project of Raj Kapoor turned out to be a massive hit, reports suggested that Raj Kapoor was upset with Hema for rejecting the film. Considering their earlier association and his faith in her talent, her refusal reportedly hurt him. Still, Hema stood firm in her decision, as she was clear about the kind of roles she wanted to play. This story of Hema Malini's refusal speaks of her strong boundary setting and headstrong attitude.
