Rajinikanth’s blockbuster “Coolie” continues its stellar run at the box office on day two, with early reports from Sacnilk indicating robust collections and sustained audience enthusiasm across India and overseas.
After shattering records with a ₹130 crore worldwide opening, “Coolie” maintained its momentum on August 15, 2025, India’s Independence Day. According to Sacnilk’s early estimates, the film added another impressive ₹62 crore to its tally on day two, bringing the gross to nearly ₹192 crore in just 48 hours. Theatres across Tamil Nadu, as well as key metros like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, reported strong occupancy rates, with many shows running housefull.
Single-screen and multiplex owners noted unprecedented repeat viewings, particularly from Rajinikanth’s fan clubs, which organised special screenings and celebrations. The film’s high-energy action, crowd-pleasing performances, and festive holiday timing contributed to exceptional footfalls both in domestic and international markets.
“Coolie,” directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced on an estimated budget of ₹200 crore, has emerged as one of the year’s most anticipated releases. Its opening coincides with the Independence Day weekend, historically a lucrative period for Indian cinema. The Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj collaboration, coupled with an ensemble cast and chart-topping soundtrack, set high expectations even before the first show rolled out.
Box office trackers and industry experts had forecast a blockbuster debut, but the film’s ability to sustain high earnings on day two amid stiff competition from other releases reinforces Rajinikanth’s enduring mass appeal and the movie’s strong content pull.
Film analyst Komal Nahta remarked, “Coolie’s day two collection cements its status as a bona fide box office juggernaut. Rajinikanth’s charm and Lokesh’s direction are clearly drawing in the crowds.”
A Chennai fan shared, “Every show is packed! We’re watching it for the second time, and the excitement hasn’t dipped a bit.”
Online, #CoolieDay2 and #Rajinikanth continued to trend, with users hailing the film as a “Pakka Mass Blockbuster” and predicting record milestones in the days ahead.
With two-day collections nearing ₹200 crore and audience response remaining electric, “Coolie” shows no signs of slowing down. As the weekend progresses, trade analysts expect the film to achieve new high-water marks for Tamil cinema.
