Prior to a major clash, Coolie starring Rajinikanth was considered to be Kollywood’s biggest box office opener in India.
Rajinikanth leads in Coolie, a much-anticipated Indian film produced on a grand scale with the potential to set new records in Kollywood.
With a high-profile clash in place, Coolie might not hit its full stride right away. Will it be able to surpass Thalapathy Vijay’s opening day record at the Indian box office? Let’s take a closer look.
As a prominent figure in Tamil cinema, director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s appeal transcends language barriers. His upcoming project with Thalaiva, an epic action thriller, is generating massive excitement ahead of its August debut.
Leo Becomes Kollywood’s Top Opener with Thalapathy Vijay in Lead
Officially slated for August 14, 2025, Coolie might have secured the largest Tamil film opening if released without competition. But with rivals in the mix, the feat seems difficult.
The current record for the biggest opening day in Kollywood belongs to Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo, with a massive 60 crore+ collection in India.
The 2023 release Leo saw Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy Vijay team up again after their hit Master. The film generated tremendous excitement and collected a strong 66 crore net on its opening day at the Indian box office.
Coolie had the opportunity to outdo this as a solo release with support from its Tamil and Telugu versions, but that seems difficult now.
Coolie’s Bid for Opening Day Record Threatened by War 2 Release
As Independence Day nears, Coolie will go head-to-head with War 2. Thanks to Jr NTR’s massive fanbase, War 2 is poised to dominate the Telugu market, while also making a strong impact in the Hindi market, overshadowing Coolie.
YRF’s action thriller is poised to outshine Rajini’s magnum opus, likely crushing its ambitions to break Leo’s record and secure the biggest opening in Kollywood history.
