In present time, only a few filmmakers and stars in the Tamil industry could be called true box office forces. Out of them all, two of the most relevant names are director Lokesh Kanagaraj and superstar Rajinikanth, who have collaborated for the first time ever in the multistarrer pan-India action entertainer venture, Coolie. After helming projects like Vikram and Leo in his popular Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), Lokesh Kanagaraj has brought a standalone film led by Rajinikanth.
Alongside Rajinikanth, the star cast of Coolie also features Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan in the lead along with Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde in prominent cameos. Coolie is one of the most-awaited Indian movies of the year and surely the biggest movie of Kollywood in 2025. This hype is attributed to several factors like its cast, the music by Anirudh, its cleverly hidden plot, as well as the director blending them all together.
Additionally, the team of Coolie did everything right in the marketing along with Rajinikanth’s stardom which resulted in a massive hype for this movie in India as well as overseas. Whether you talk about the teaser, the music album, posters, or pre-release event, almost everything fell in place for Coolie and attracted the interest of the general audience.
As of the trailer, it proved to be something which wasn’t loved much but yet, it was edited well enough to hide the story of the film from the audiences. Additionally, an A rating by CBFC is considered an exciting thing for an action movie, making for another plus point for the Rajinikanth movie. All of these factors helped Coolie perform extremely well during its pre-sales worldwide.
The full-fledged Coolie advance booking began on 11th August in India, 3 days before release. As of Coolie first day advance booking report on worldwide front, Rajinikanth’s Coolie hits Rs 100 crore half a day before its release date, making it the first ever Tamil movie as well as the fastest movie of 2025 to achieve this milestone.
The film was met with an extremely good response during its advance booking in India that too in all the languages, the overseas markets contribute the most towards its Day 1 pre-sales. Among the overseas markets, the biggest share of advance booking came from the Gulf.
Despite clashing against War 2, the advance booking of Coolie witnessed barely any hurdles as the Rajinikanth starrer easily overtook its competitor globally.
As for the Coolie box office prediction, the Coolie box office collection day 1 worldwide collection is expected to be the highest ever for a Tamil movie. Because Coolie is releasing on 14th August, a massive growth on the Independence Day holiday would be obviously witnessed.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie is made at a budget of Rs 350 crore approx. Taking a look at the pre-release collection, one simply expects it to be among the highest grossers of the year which would be a high probability if Coolie receives positive reviews. However, if Coolie gets to face a negative word of mouth from the audience, this same probability could decline very quickly.
