Rajinikanth’s new action entertainer Coolie had a dhamaka opening in cinemas but saw a fall on weekdays. Having entered its second weekend, the film has started to regain some momentum. On its 10th day, the film has made nearly ₹250 crore at an international level, creating new hopes for fans that it would continue its momentum in the next few days.
Domestic Collections Show a Push
In India, Coolie has raked in close to ₹170 crore till date. Though the weekday figures were modest, the holiday crowd over the weekend filled theatres yet again, mainly in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh’s coastal regions. The family audiences’ turnout and Rajinikanth’s huge fan base also appear to have contributed to Saturday and Sunday numbers.
Overseas Market Still Strong
Rajinikanth remains unparalleled in popularity with the Tamil diaspora overseas. From the USA to Malaysia, overseas releases continue to be robust, playing an impressive percentage to the global total. Trade analysts opine that overseas business has played a pivotal role in driving Coolie close to the ₹250-crore mark within 10 days only.
Audience Reactions
Audiences have universally appreciated the larger-than-life on-screen presence of Rajinikanth and the action choreography of the film. Some critics, however, believe the script is predictable, which may be one reason weekday business tailed off. In spite of that, the charisma of the superstar has maintained repeat business, keeping the film going at the box office.
What Lies Ahead
The acid test for Coolie starts from the second week as competition from the latest releases increases. If the movie holds on to the weekdays, it can join the ₹300-crore club in the next few weeks. For the moment, with worldwide collection inchesing towards ₹250 crore in 10 days, Rajinikanth has again shown why his name is synonymous with box office magic.
