Rajinikanth’s much-awaited film Coolie has taken the Indian box office by storm. Released on 14 August 2025, just before the Independence Day weekend, the movie has been performing very strongly. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film brings Rajinikanth back in a full mass action entertainer, and the audience is loving every bit of it.
From day one, the movie had high expectations because of Rajinikanth’s massive fan following and the collaboration with a successful director like Lokesh Kanagaraj. Adding to the excitement, big stars like Nagarjuna (as the villain), Shruti Haasan, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir play key roles. To make things even more special, superstar Aamir Khan has a cameo appearance in the film. This combination has worked well, and fans are showing huge support at the theatres.
Even though Coolie was released on the same day as Hrithik Roshan’s War 2, the Rajinikanth starrer is running ahead at the box office. Now, the Day 4 collection report is out, and the numbers are simply amazing.
Coolie Day 4 Box Office Collection
On its fourth day, Coolie collected around ₹0.35 crore, as per Sacnilk’s early estimates. This may look like a small amount compared to the earlier days, but it is because the first three days were record-breaking. With this, the total net collection of the film in India has reached ₹158.7 crore.
The craze around Rajinikanth is very clear in theatres. Fans are coming in huge numbers, not only in South India but also in Hindi-speaking regions. The movie is running with houseful shows in many cities, and the weekend has brought a big boost.
- Day 1 Collection – Massive opening with strong numbers across India.
- Day 2 Collection – Growth due to Independence Day holiday and weekend rush.
- Day 3 Collection – Continued strong performance with houseful shows.
- Day 4 Collection – ₹0.35 crore, taking the total to ₹158.7 crore net.
This shows how much power Rajinikanth holds at the box office, even after facing a direct clash with another big film.
War 2 vs Coolie Box Office Clash
When Coolie was announced for 14 August 2025, many expected a clash at the box office because Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 was also releasing on the same date. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 features Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in lead roles.
As per reports, War 2 has collected around ₹142.71 crore net in four days. These are very strong numbers, but still, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is ahead with ₹158.7 crore net.
This proves that despite strong competition, Rajinikanth’s star power and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction have managed to pull a larger audience. Both films are doing excellent business, but Coolie is currently leading in the race.
Why Audiences Are Loving Coolie
There are several reasons behind the strong performance of Coolie:
-
Rajinikanth’s Star Power – Even at this stage of his career, Rajinikanth remains one of the biggest crowd-pullers in Indian cinema. His style, dialogue delivery, and action scenes are loved by fans.
-
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Direction – Known for his gripping storytelling and stylish action, Lokesh has delivered a complete entertainer once again.
-
Strong Supporting Cast – With Nagarjuna as the main villain, Shruti Haasan in an important role, and a cameo by Aamir Khan, the film has a dream star cast.
-
Festive Release Date – The Independence Day weekend has given the film a perfect chance to maximize collections.
-
Positive Word of Mouth – Fans and critics are praising the film for its high-energy action, engaging storyline, and Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life screen presence.
Coolie vs War 2: Audience Buzz
While both films are doing well, the buzz among audiences is slightly higher for Coolie. The reason is the surprise factor—many fans were excited to see Rajinikanth in a mass-action entertainer again, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s touch has made it even more special.
On the other hand, War 2 already had big expectations because it is part of YRF’s spy universe, following the success of War and Pathaan. But the clash has divided audiences, and still, Coolie is holding stronger in terms of numbers.
The Future of Coolie at the Box Office
The film has already crossed ₹158 crore net in India in just four days. If this pace continues, Coolie is expected to cross the ₹200 crore mark within the first week itself.
The movie’s lifetime collection will depend on how well it performs in the second week because big-budget films usually see drops after the initial buzz. But with the current positive response, there are high chances that Coolie will go on to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025.
Trade experts believe that even with a clash, Coolie might cross ₹350-400 crore worldwide gross, making it a superhit.
Coolie’s Worldwide Business
While the Indian numbers are very strong, the overseas performance is equally impressive. Rajinikanth has a massive fan base in countries like the USA, UAE, Singapore, and Malaysia. Early reports suggest that the movie is doing very well in international markets too, adding a big chunk to its worldwide collection.
By the end of Day 4, the worldwide gross collection is expected to cross ₹200 crore, which is a huge achievement.
Clash With War 2
Rajinikanth has once again proved why he is called the “Superstar” of Indian cinema. Coolie is not just a movie, it is a celebration for his fans. Despite facing a big clash with Hrithik Roshan’s War 2, the film has managed to stay ahead in numbers and audience buzz.
The Day 4 collection of ₹0.35 crore, taking the total to ₹158.7 crore net in India, shows the strength of Rajinikanth’s fan following. With strong word of mouth and festive holiday support, Coolie is all set to achieve even bigger milestones in the coming days.
The battle between Coolie and War 2 is turning out to be one of the biggest box office clashes in Indian cinema, but as of now, Rajinikanth’s film is clearly winning. Fans are excited, theatres are houseful, and the box office is on fire—Coolie is truly a blockbuster in the making.
