Rajinikanth’s latest movie, Coolie, opened strongly at the Indian box office on Thursday. Expectations for the film are high, as this marks Rajinikanth’s return to the big screen after a significant hiatus. With his massive fan following, the film is projected to earn more than ₹50 crore on its opening day in India. Early reviews have been mixed; some critics have praised aspects of the movie, while others have been less favorable. As a result, the film’s performance over the opening weekend will play a crucial role in determining its overall success at the box office. Coolie was produced on a budget of approximately ₹350 crore, so a sustained performance for at least one to two weeks is necessary for the film to recover its costs from theatrical revenue.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the action-packed entertainer hit theaters on August 14, 2025, perfectly timed for the Independence Day weekend. The movie has been one of the most anticipated films of the year, marking Rajini’s grand return after a brief break.
