Rajinikanth’s latest action thriller Coolie has taken the global box office by storm, delivering an extraordinary performance during its extended opening weekend. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has not only smashed multiple domestic records but also pulled off an unprecedented feat by becoming the world’s top-grossing film over the weekend — beating out big-budget Hollywood releases.
According to early estimates, Coolie has earned ₹194.25 crore net (₹233 crore gross) in India within just four days of release. The momentum doesn’t stop there — the film has also made more than $18 million (₹160 crore) in the international market, bringing its total worldwide collection to a staggering ₹393 crore ($45 million) in just four days.
Rajinikanth Coolie box office report – Fastest Tamil Film to Reach ₹100 Crore
The Rajinikanth Coolie box office report shows the superstar smashing his own records yet again. The movie became the fastest Tamil film to cross ₹100 crore and is expected to hit the ₹200 crore mark in India on Monday. Overseas figures are equally impressive, with record-breaking openings in North America, the UK and Australia. The lack of a major Hollywood release this weekend created the perfect window for Coolie to dominate globally — and the film took full advantage of it.
International Dominance and Global Rankings
Across international markets, Coolie raked in over $18 million by Sunday, placing it ahead of horror hit Weapons, which earned $44 million globally over the same period. In comparison, War 2 took the third spot with around $30 million, followed by Freakier Friday at similar numbers. The only new Hollywood release this week, Nobody 2, debuted much lower at $14 million — far behind Rajinikanth’s juggernaut.
Rajinikanth Coolie box office report – What’s Driving the Success?
The Rajinikanth Coolie box office report credits the explosive start to Rajinikanth’s massive fan following, an engaging storyline and high-octane action sequences crafted by Lokesh Kanagaraj. While a few reviews were mixed, audience word-of-mouth has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans particularly loved Rajinikanth’s performance as a retired coolie who gets dragged back into the criminal underworld led by Nagarjuna’s character Simon.
What the Film Is About (No Spoilers)
Coolie follows the story of a retired porter who is forced back into action after the tragic death of a close friend. The movie features an impressive supporting cast that includes Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan and Sathyaraj, plus a surprise cameo from Aamir Khan. Stylish action, emotional moments and Rajinikanth’s trademark charisma have helped turn Coolie into one of the biggest box-office events of the year.
