This Thursday is going to be a remarkable day in the history of Indian cinema, as two star-studded films are set for a showdown at the box office – Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR’s War 2.
In the Telugu states, where cinema is second only to cricket in popularity, bookings for War 2 and Coolie are strong. As per early trends, Coolie initially sold more tickets than War 2. However, this morning, the scenario changed – War 2 is now leading in hourly ticket sales.
In the last hour, Coolie registered 2.93K tickets on BookMyShow, while War 2 sold 3.64K tickets in the same period. If this trend continues until the evening, War 2 could surpass Coolie and give tough competition to the Rajinikanth starrer.
Either way, both films are set to post massive Day 1 collections in the Telugu states, that’s a certainty. Ultimately, the content will decide which film stands tall.
Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, while Ayan Mukerji helms War 2. Both films boast a huge star cast that will undoubtedly add energy and excitement. How they will perform at the box office will be evident in just a few more hours.
