Rajinikanth has once again proved why he rules the silver screen! His latest release Coolie, which hit theatres on August 14, 2025, has stormed past the ₹220 crore mark within just seven days.
What makes the feat even more remarkable is that the Thalaiva starrer raced ahead despite a box office clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR’s much-hyped War 2, which wrapped up its first week with around ₹199 crore.
