Coolie worldwide box office collection day 7: Rajinikanth film beats Kantara, Brahmastra lifetime; sets sights on GOAT
Coolie worldwide box office update
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, began in emphatic fashion at the box office, earning over ₹350 crore worldwide in its four-day opening weekend. But the first Monday (day 5) saw a 65% drop in collections. And since then, the film has been steadily dropping, as is the case for most superstar-led mass action films. Despite that, the initial momentum has ensured that Coolie has earned ₹222.50 crore net ( ₹266 crore gross) in India. Internationally, the film has broken Tamil cinema records in many places. As per trade sources, it has earned an estimated $20 million ( ₹166 crore) overseas. This gives Coolie a worldwide gross of ₹432 crore after seven days. It is now looking to cross ₹450 crore, which it should in its second weekend. However, the ₹600-crore mark, which looked a certainty for Coolie at one point, looks like a distant dream now.
Coolie's ₹432 crore global haul is now higher than Brahmastra Part One ( ₹431 crore) and Kantara ( ₹416 crore). The film had already crossed the lifetime earnings of Kamal Haasan's biggest hit - Vikram ( ₹414 crore). In its sights are now Vijay's The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), which has a reported global collection of around ₹450 crore.

Kriti Sanon applauds Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi, praises Sanjay Leela Bhansali for backing a female-led film
Sanjay Leela Bhansali stands tall as one of the finest filmmakers in Indian cinema, often mentioned in the same league as legends like Raj Kapoor, K. Asif, and Guru Dutt. Through his films, he has set new benchmarks in presenting Indian stories with unmatched authenticity and grandeur. A true force in the world of entertainment, SLB has not only redefined Indian storytelling but has also taken Indian cinema to the global stage. One such creation was highly acclaimed and loved Gangubai Kathiawadi, which won 5 National Awards. While the film received tremendous love from all quarters, this time, National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon has also praised the film and SLB for making a female-led story in the way it deserved to be told. Actress Kriti Sanon was seen praising Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi as she said, 'Take a risk on the subject, not on who's leading it. If a female-led film… the only one that comes to my mind, honestly, that has been at that scale, at that budget, was Gangubai Kathiawadi. You felt like it was larger than life. It would have been the same-looking film even if a man were leading it.' 'And I felt like the budget, the shots, everything was taken in a larger-than-life way. When someone makes an entry, we call it a 'hero shot' — where you make someone look larger than life. That doesn't normally happen when a female is leading a film like that. So I was very, very happy seeing that. At least someone had the guts to put in that much money on a female-led film.' Moreover, The anticipation builds for SLB's next LOVE & WAR. It's thrilling to look forward to the monumental collaboration of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the talented trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal on the big screen in the film. The film will be released on March 20, 2026. Add as a Preferred Source

The Telugu film industry had come to a complete halt since August 4, after the employees' federation launched a strike demanding a wage increase. Producers had suspended all shoots, with the film chamber stating it could not accommodate the workers' demand for a 30% pay rise. The strike had prompted several production houses to consider relocating from Hyderabad. The city serves as a production centre for Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other language films.
