War 2 and Coolie are the two biggies that released last Thursday to mixed reactions. Audiences expected a massive neck-and-neck competition between them, but both movies are struggling to prove their existence.
The collections have been okay but not great when compared to their budgets and star power. While War 2 grossed around Rs. 210 crore and Coolie did approximately Rs. 315 crore in the first three days globally. The Sunday collections (Day 4) are expected to post better numbers, but the Monday collections will prove the real stamina of these movies.
Which movie will perform well and which will lose ground to the other will be decided on this busy weekday. As per box office reports, Coolie is slightly ahead of War 2 in terms of ticket sales and collections. Whether War 2 can make any difference this week remains to be seen.
While Lokesh Kanagaraj helmed Coolie with Rajinikanth, Ayan Mukerji directed War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. We will have to wait and see which movie emerges as the better one in the end.
