Coolie’s producers, Sun Pictures, claimed that the Rajinikanth-starrer collected ₹404 crore gross worldwide in four days for its opening weekend. Trade website Sacnilk, however, reported that Coolie made ₹206.50 crore net and ₹244.55 crore gross in India in five days by Monday. Adding to that, the ₹157.45 crore from overseas, the film’s total worldwide collection for five days stands at ₹403 crore.

This means that Coolie is officially one of the highest-grossing films in Rajinikanth’s career. 2.0 (2018), with its ₹691 crore collection, holds the top spot, followed by Jailer’s (2023) ₹604.5 crore lifetime haul. Coolie has beaten Enthiran (2010), Darbar (2020) and Petta’s (2019) ₹291 crore, ₹247.80 crore and ₹232.92 crore collection so far. Coolie, however, still has to beat Lokesh’s previous films Leo (2023) and Vikram’s (2022) ₹605.9 crore and ₹414.43 crore lifetime hauls.

2.0	₹691 crore
Jailer	₹604.5 crore
Coolie	₹403 crore & counting
Enthiran	₹291 crore

Given that, despite weekend and Monday dips Coolie managed to sustain momentum, it remains to be seen how much the film will collect in its first week.
