Thalaivar Rajinikanth's film "Coolie" has shattered box office records, crossing the Rs 150 crore mark in just three days. With drawing 35+ crores on its third day, Coolie stands at Rs 155+ Crores in three days in India Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film stars Rajinikanth alongside Nagarjuna and Shruti Haasan, and has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Despite this, the movie has continued to dominate the box office, thanks to Rajinikanth's enduring popularity and Lokesh Kanagaraj's mass appeal.
"Coolie" has become the fastest Tamil film to reach Rs 300 crore gross worldwide, achieving this feat in just three days and surpassing Thalapathy Vijay's "Leo", which previously held the record. The film's extraordinary opening day gross of over Rs 150 crore set the tone for its historic run, with strong collections in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra/Telangana further boosted by phenomenal overseas earnings.
With expectations of setting new lifetime benchmarks for Tamil cinema, "Coolie" is now racing towards the Rs 500 crore club. The movie's success can be attributed to Rajinikanth's superstardom and the director's ability to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences. "Coolie" has become the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025, outperforming other notable releases like "Good Bad Ugly" and "Dragon".
The film's overseas collection has also been impressive, crossed $13 million so far. As "Coolie" continues its successful run, trade experts are eagerly awaiting its performance on Monday, which will determine its long-term prospects. If the film can maintain its momentum, it may potentially challenge the record held by Rajinikanth's own film "2.0", which grossed Rs 691 crore worldwide.
