Coolie Box Office Collection Day 5 Early Updates: In a clash that has defined the Independence Day box office in 2025, Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life return in Coolie has sent shockwaves across the Indian film industry.
Billed as one of the most high-stakes cinematic face-offs in recent memory, Coolie went head-to-head with War 2, a high-octane action sequel featuring Hrithik Roshan Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani in the lead, emerged as the unexpected frontrunner.
While War 2 brought the muscle of the YRF Spy Universe, it was Rajinikanth’s mass appeal, magnetic screen presence, and emotional connect with fans that worked in Coolie’s favor… at least in the opening battle.
Coming to its box office performance, it was already expected that Thalaivar 171, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, would record a sharp drop on its first Monday. And the film has lived up to its Monday anticipation. However, despite the dip, the movie has officially crossed the Rs 200 cr-mark today. Read on for the exact figures…
