Rajinikanth’s Coolie Roars With ₹109 Cr in 2 Days, War 2 Trails Behind

Coolie Box Office Day 2: Rajinikanth’s Film Smashes ₹109 Cr, War 2 in Close Chase

Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest release Coolie has taken the Indian box office by storm, registering a phenomenal performance in just two days. The action-packed entertainer directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is proving to be nothing short of a festival for fans. According to early trade reports, the film has earned a staggering ₹109 crore in India within two days, making it one of the fastest films to cross the ₹100-crore mark in recent times. With packed theatres and roaring celebrations across the South, Coolie is living up to the hype and showing the superstar’s unmatched pull among audiences.

War 2 Emerges as a Strong Competitor

While Coolie enjoys massive traction, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer War 2 has also emerged as a strong contender at the box office. The much-anticipated sequel in YRF’s Spy Universe has already opened to strong numbers and continues to draw large crowds. Trade analysts note that although Coolie is ahead in terms of overall earnings, War 2 is not far behind and could give tough competition in the coming days, especially in North Indian circuits. This sets the stage for an exciting clash between two of the biggest releases of the year.

Fan Frenzy and Mass Appeal

The response to Coolie has been nothing short of electrifying. Fans of Rajinikanth lined up outside theatres as early as dawn, bursting crackers, performing rituals, and showering cutouts with milk—traditions synonymous with the release of a “Thalaivar” film. The movie’s blend of high-octane action, emotional drama, and Rajinikanth’s signature screen presence has struck a chord with audiences across age groups. Family audiences in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, coupled with strong urban collections in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai, have ensured a dream run for the film in the South.

Box Office Breakdown and Expectations

As per early estimates, Coolie has already crossed ₹109 crore in India alone, with Tamil Nadu contributing the highest share, followed by Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. The Hindi dubbed version has also performed better than expected, indicating Rajinikanth’s pan-India reach. Meanwhile, War 2 is steadily closing the gap with strong collections from multiplexes and urban centres, particularly in the Hindi belt. With Independence Day weekend and festive holidays around the corner, both films are expected to witness a surge in footfall. Trade experts predict that Coolie may enter the ₹200-crore club within its first week if the momentum continues.

The Big Picture: A Clash of Titans

The simultaneous success of Coolie and War 2 is a reminder of how Indian cinema is thriving across regions. On one hand, Rajinikanth’s Coolie showcases the unmatched dominance of South Indian cinema, while on the other, War 2 highlights the appeal of Bollywood’s growing spy-action universe. This healthy competition is not only pushing the box office to new heights but also giving audiences a reason to celebrate cinema like never before.
