While it continues to stay ahead of War 2, it still has films like Saiyaara and Chhaava to contend with, which made ₹324.75 crore and ₹601.57 crore net in India, respectively. Coolie has also yet to beat the collections of Lokesh’s previous films, Vikram and Leo, which made ₹247 crore and ₹341.04 crore net in India in their lifetime.
