Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest outing, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is off to a flying start at the ticket windows. With a phenomenal Rs. 151 crore gross, Coolie is now the all-time biggest opener for a Tamil film worldwide, surpassing Leo. The film, however, received mixed reviews and word of mouth.
But that didn’t stop this Rajini starrer from posting impressive numbers on the second day. According to trade reports, Coolie raked in Rs. 86 crore gross globally on day two, taking its 2-day worldwide total to nearly Rs. 240 crore. In India alone, the film collected around Rs. 55 crore gross.
As expected, the Tamil version led the pack with Rs. 34 crore, followed by the Telugu and Hindi versions at Rs. 13.5 crore and Rs. 7.5 crore respectively. In overseas markets, Coolie earned Rs. 31 crore on day two. The film also features Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Aamir Khan, and Rachita Ram in pivotal roles.
