With over Rs. 380 crore global gross in its first weekend, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is clearly stealing the show at the box office against War 2, which hit theaters the same day. The trend is similar in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, especially in Nizam.
On Sunday, the 4th day, the Rajinikanth starrer raked in Rs. 1.6 crore in Nizam, bringing its four-day extended weekend total to Rs. 12 crore (including all languages). On Saturday, Coolie had made a total share of Rs. 2.65 crore, making it clear that Sunday’s collections were lower than Saturday’s.
It has left War 2 in the dust, which collected close to Rs. 10 crore in the Nizam region. With Monday here, collections are expected to cool off, but which film will come out on top remains to be seen.
Apart from Rajinikanth, this Lokesh Kanagaraj-helmed action spectacle features Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Rachitha Ram, and others. Sun Pictures has bankrolled the biggie, with musical magic from Anirudh Ravichander.
