Box Office Day 10 Clash: Coolie, War 2 and Mahavatar Narasimha

The Indian box office is currently witnessing one of the biggest clashes of 2025. Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR starrer War 2 are facing each other directly in theatres. At the same time, Mahavatar Narasimha is continuing its strong run, even after almost a month. Fans are excited, trade analysts are busy, and the audience is enjoying this rare situation where three huge films are performing together.

In this article, we will talk about the box office collection, star cast, budget, and audience response of all three movies. We will also see how these films compare with other recent releases like Andaaz 2, Bun Butter Jam, and Maareesan.

Coolie Box Office Collection

Rajinikanth’s Coolie released on 14th August 2025. It is a big multi-starrer with names like Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Satyaraj, Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and many more.

On its 9th day (Friday), Coolie earned ₹6.01 crore.
On Thursday, it had earned ₹6.15 crore.
In total, the movie has collected ₹235.67 crore in just 9 days.

This shows that the film is holding strong and will likely see a boost over the weekend. For Rajinikanth, this is another massive success and reminds fans of his earlier blockbusters. The excitement is similar to what we saw with Coolie Day 1 Collection.

Trade experts believe Coolie might cross ₹300 crore soon, making it one of the top films of 2025.

War 2 Box Office Collection

Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor, War 2 is a high-octane action film. It belongs to the YRF Spy Universe, which already has big hits like War and Pathaan.

On its 9th day (Friday), War 2 earned ₹3.8 crore.
On Thursday, the film collected ₹5 crore.
The total box office collection so far is ₹208.05 crore.

Even though War 2 is performing well, Coolie is clearly ahead in numbers. Still, War 2 has the advantage of huge action sequences and the star power of Hrithik Roshan. Fans who loved his films like Hrithik Roshan’s Best Action Films will surely find War 2 exciting.

On Friday, the film earned ₹2 crore.
On Thursday, it earned ₹1.65 crore.
So far, Mahavatar Narasimha has collected ₹220.75 crore.

What makes this more special is the budget of the film – just ₹4 crore. With such a low budget, the film becoming a ₹200+ crore grosser is a dream run. It might soon touch ₹250 crore, making it a true blockbuster. You can also check the detailed Mahavatar Narasimha Budget and Box Office Report.

Star Cast and Audience Response

Coolie – Rajinikanth is the main attraction, but the film also brings together a huge ensemble cast. Fans are loving the mix of mass action, comedy, and emotional drama.
War 2 – Action lovers are praising Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s combination. The film also has stylish VFX and breathtaking fight sequences.
Mahavatar Narasimha – A mythological fantasy that has become a word-of-mouth hit. The audience is appreciating its storytelling and simplicity.

Together, these films have made theatres housefull across India.

Box Office Trends

Looking at the collections, it is clear that:

Coolie is leading the race with ₹235.67 crore in 9 days.
War 2 is strong but slightly behind with ₹208.05 crore in 9 days.
Mahavatar Narasimha is slow but steady, still collecting ₹2 crore daily even after 29 days.

This situation reminds us of how films like Andaaz 2, Bun Butter Jam, Maareesan, and Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama also surprised the audience with unexpected results this year.

It also shows that Indian cinema is changing. Big budget films like In Lost Lands or Son of Sardaar 2 are not guaranteed successes anymore. Smaller films with strong stories like Stolen 2025, Paranthu Po, and Jinn Pet are also finding space.

Verdict

The box office clash of Coolie vs War 2 is one of the most exciting moments of 2025. Rajinikanth’s star power is driving Coolie ahead, while Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR are ensuring War 2 stays close. Meanwhile, Mahavatar Narasimha is proving that content is king, as it continues to shine with a small budget.

If this trend continues, the coming weeks will decide which film becomes the ultimate winner. But one thing is clear – the audience is the real winner, as they are getting variety, entertainment, and value for money.
