Rajinikanth’s 'Coolie' to enter Rs 500 crore club? 

If this box office trend continues, Coolie would become the 4th Tamil film to enter the Rs 500 crore global club, according to Sacnilk. Only 3 Tamil blockbusters have accomplished that feat so far – Vijay's Leo, Rajinikanth's 2.0, and Rajinikanth's Jailer. 
 
The movie is doing quite well in both North and South India. The second weekend jump indicates that the movie is still receiving strong box office support, even though weekday box office collection may somewhat drop. It is considered one of the biggest hits of 2025 because of the positive word-of-mouth and Rajinikanth's huge fan following.
