The day fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has hit the big screen today. Carrying huge expectations, the film has opened to mixed-to-positive reactions from both critics and audiences.
For years, Kollywood fans have dreamed of seeing a Tamil film cross the Rs. 1,000 crore mark at the global box office. Many believed Coolie could be the one to achieve it. However, that dream remains out of reach for now, as the film hasn’t quite delivered on the sky-high expectations.
With stronger execution, industry analysts believe the movie could have had the potential to hit the milestone. But with War 2 also in competition, itself receiving mixed reviews, it seems unlikely that Coolie will reach the Rs. 1,000 crore mark.
The wait continues for a Tamil movie to break the Rs. 1,000 crore barrier and bring that glory to Kollywood. The big question now: which upcoming Tamil release will finally make it happen?
