Coolie Box Office Collection Day 5: Rajinikanth movie finally hits ₹200 crore mark amid Monday blues
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 5: Rajinikanth's Coolie has finally hit the ₹ 200 crore milestone amid a sharp decline in its earnings on Monday. The movie, released on August 14 to mark the superstar's 50th year in the industry, enjoyed a long weekend at the Indian box office. After a record-breaking opening day collection and hitting the ₹ 150 crore milestone in three days, the movie has hit a slowdown, earning a total of ₹ 194.25 crore till Sunday. The Rajinikanth movie is facing fierce competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. According to early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, earned just ₹ 5.6 crore on Monday until 6:30 PM. This figure is significantly lower than what the movie earned in the previous days. The movie's earnings have already dropped nearly 55% since its opening day, and its collection on its first Monday is likely to widen the gap significantly. With this, Coolie's 4-day total stands at ₹ 200.1 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 ₹ 385 crore globally on Day 4. Of this, the movie minted ₹ 154.5 crore overseas, while its India gross was ₹ 230.5 crore. 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 5 global earnings will be published tomorrow, Tuesday. Coolie and War 2 were released on the same day, 14 August, during Independence Day week. Coolie surpassed War 2's Day 5 earnings, with Hrithik's film bringing in ₹ 4.38 crore. Though the margin isn't very large, it still impacts War 2's overall collections, which now stand at ₹ 179.13 crore. 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.

Why Rajinikanth's Coolie is Lokesh Kanagaraj's weakest film in his filmography
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has established himself as one of Tamil cinema's most promising directors, delivering a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. From the breakout hit 'Maanagaram' to the gripping 'Master' and the ambitious 'Vikram', Kanagaraj has consistently delivered films that blend sharp storytelling with his signature cinematic his latest offering 'Coolie', starring superstar Rajinikanth, marks a significant departure from his usual standards and emerges as arguably his weakest offering to film generated massive expectations, thanks to the collaboration between Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj. Even the trademark Lokesh elements that made him a promising director failed him in 'Coolie'. In this detailed piece, we discuss of Solid StorylineThe most glaring weakness in 'Coolie' is its foundational flaw - the absence of a coherent and engaging storyline. Unlike Kanagaraj's previous films that were built on a solid non-linear narrative, 'Coolie' felt like a collection of scenes stitched together without story fails to establish clear stakes or provide audiences with a reason to invest emotionally in the proceedings. In the spectacularly made flashback with the de-ageing technique, Rajinikanth's Deva says that he would be there for the coolie. If that was the intention, why was he silent for 30 years when the workers were suffering at the hands of Simon and his family? This narrative confusion extends to character motivations, which remain unclear throughout the film. Except for Dayalan (Soubin Shahir), Kalyani (Rachitha Ram) and Preethi (Shruti Haasan), none of the characters in the ensemble cast have intentions that will properl the story forward. Forget Simon's unidimensional character, Deva's intentions, too, go from avenging his friend Rajasekhar's (Sathyaraj) to fighting for the oppressed of Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tropes'Coolie' suffers heavily from Kanagaraj's overreliance on his established cinematic tropes, which have now become predictable rather than stylish. The director's signature elements - innovative fight sequenced in the backdrop of the 90s songs, non-linear narrative and a dark color palette - feel forced and mechanical in this film rather than organic storytelling tools. In his previous songs, the 90s songs that were used gave them quirky touches. But, the use of 'Loyola College Loyola', which was supposed to elicit applause from the audience, felt flat. The 'Va Va Pakkam Vaa' song worked fairly better than the other film's action choreography, while technically proficient, lacks the freshness that made similar sequences in 'Kaithi' so memorable. Take for example, the character Simon, played by Nagarjuna. He kills and kills people. But, that isn't the only character trait that should make him menacing. However, we are told that Simon is menacing, but never really given reasons to believe Crisis: Rajinikanth Film or Lokesh Kanagaraj Film?Rajinikanth's films are usually mass entertainers. It is almost impossible to make a full-fledged, content-driven film about a legend without playing to the gallery. But, young filmmakers and their inventive storytelling need to balance story and stardom and make a delightful the most fundamental issue plaguing 'Coolie' is that it suffers from an identity crisis - the film can't decide whether it wants to be a typical Rajinikanth mass entertainer or a Lokesh Kanagaraj film. While Rajinikanth gives his all as Deva in 'Coolie', the writing (or the lack of it) fails him. The more you think about 'Coolie', the more glaring the logical errors in the film are. Yes, it is a Rajinikanth film. Which automatically means that we expect all the ingredients of a perfect Thalaivar film, with only little focus on the story. However, the lack of better writing in the second half of 'Coolie' bogs down the film majorly. There are classing Rajinikanth elements, but the presence of Lokesh Kankagaraj's elements hardly had an impact when compared to his previous Many Sub-plots That Are Hardly Fleshed Out'Coolie' introduces numerous sub-plots without giving any of them adequate development or resolution. The film feels like Kanagaraj attempted to juggle too many story threads simultaneously, resulting in a scattered viewing experience that lacks focus and for instance, Preethi. She is a medical college drop-out, but has the responsibility of mothering her two younger sisters. However, when she is stuck doing favours for Simon, she does what it takes to make ends meet, even if it's ethically and morally against her Soubin's Dayalan and Rachitha Ram's Kalyani become pawns of their problems in need of money. While these morally ambiguous characters have a lot of layers in them, we are never really given backstories to invest completely in their Upendra's Kaleesha, who is severely underutilised. Alright, we get it that he's Deva's right-hand. But, in the present, he is either locked up in a room or standing behind Rajinikanth waiting for his instructions. Aamir Khan's Daaha is yet another addition that hardly makes an impact. While it reminds us of a Rolex-like climax from 'Vikram', it hardly adds value to the story, as is the case of Kaleesha. When a film leaves you with more questions than answers, it is an indication of a weak screenplay. And 'Coolie' is receiving polarising reactions because of this very narrative overcrowding ultimately undermines the film's emotional impact. Audiences never get the chance to fully invest in any single storyline because the film keeps jumping between different 'Master' and 'Leo' - both are successful ventures - had criticisms of the narrative, they had a solid emotional core and interesting characters that keep you invested. 'Coolie' lacked both and, hence, is more unimpressive and disappointing.'Coolie' represents a rare misstep for Lokesh Kanagaraj, a director who has otherwise shown remarkable consistency in his filmography. While the film isn't without its moments of brilliance, it falls short of the standards set by his previous works.- EndsTune InTrending Reel
