Ticket Sales Prove Coolie Storms Ahead of War 2

Published on Sunday, 17 August 2025 08:01 AM

The much-awaited Bollywood biggie War 2 and the highly anticipated Kollywood film Coolie hit the box office four days ago during the Independence Day weekend. Both movies, in what has become a massive cinematic showdown, have received mixed reactions from audiences and fans of the respective stars.

Both films opened with strong collections, but the buzz soon slowed down as they moved into Day 2 and Day 3. The numbers are fine, yet still fall short of expectations considering their massive budgets. With today being Sunday, the box office is expected to show stronger growth compared to the previous days.

Meanwhile, early reports suggest that Coolie is pulling ahead of War 2. In the last 24 hours on BookMyShow alone, Coolie sold 481.19K tickets (including 80.29K in Hindi), while War 2 managed 393.43K tickets in the same period. Even without the Hindi version, Coolie’s sales are significantly higher, clearly indicating that audiences are showing more interest in Coolie.

Sunday remains crucial for both films, as today’s numbers will determine which one can dominate the box office further.

Since no big films are releasing for the rest of the month, both Coolie and War 2 have room to keep running in theatres and add to their collections.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR’s War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, are in a tight box office race. We’ll have to wait and see how the numbers shape up in the coming days.
