‘Coolie’ Box Office Journey

“Coolie” was released on August 14, 2025. This film also had a massive opening. It earned ₹65 crore on day one. This was a very high number. The first four days were very good for “Coolie.”

The film’s first weekend total was ₹194.5 crore. But after that, the collections started to drop. On its first Monday, the collection went down a lot. In its first week, “Coolie” made ₹229.65 crore.

The second week has not been very strong for “Coolie.” The film is facing competition from another big movie, “War 2.” The daily collections have gone down.

On its second Monday and Tuesday, the film earned around ₹3 crore each day. This is a big fall from its first-day collection. As of its 13th day, “Coolie” has collected around ₹263.85 crore in India.

Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ vs ‘Jailer’: The Main Differences

The big difference between the two films is their second-week performance. “Jailer” had strong collections in its second week. This was because people were talking about the film in a very positive way.

“Coolie” has seen a big drop in its second week. The numbers are not as strong. While “Coolie” had a higher first-week collection than “Jailer,” “Jailer” had a much better second week.

“Jailer” had a steady run and did not slow down much. This helped it reach a very high lifetime total. For “Coolie,” the fall in collections is a concern. The coming days will be important for “Coolie.” The film needs to pick up its pace on the second weekend to add more money to its total.

Final Words

Both films show Rajinikanth’s huge star power. Both got a big start. But “Jailer” proved to be a bigger and more consistent hit. The film’s strong story and positive reviews helped it run for a longer time. For “Coolie,” the first week was great. But the film is now facing a difficult time. It is a good example of how word-of-mouth and audience reaction are important for a film’s long-term success.
