Coolie on Box Office: Coolie and War 2 failed to surpass the Rs 300 crore milestone achieved by Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara after 15 days at the box office. The superstar-led films failed to make an impression on both the audience and the box office. 
 
On August 14, Ayan Mukerji's War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie were both released in theaters. The Rajinikanth-starrer kept up its momentum in spite of competition, reaching the ₹500 crore global milestone in just two weeks. In 15 days, the movie made an estimated ₹270.52 crore net in India, according to Sacnilk.

About Coolie Cast and Plot 

In the action drama Coolie, Deva (Rajinikanth), a former leader of the Coolie Union, manages student housing subsidies. When his close friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj) passes away inexplicably, leaving his three daughters including Preethi (Shruti Haasan) orphans, he is compelled to confront his troubled history. 
 
Deva confronts Dayal (Soubin Shahir), who is hiding a secret of his own, and cartel head Simon (Nagarjuna) in an attempt to solve his death. Aamir Khan and Upendra make brief appearances in the movie. The films Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo are all part of Lokesh's cinematic universe, although Coolie is not. The movie has performed well at the box office despite getting mixed reviews.
