Rajinikanth’s Coolie Roars Towards ₹100 Crore Pre-Sales, Poi

Superstar Rajinikanth is back—and this time, he’s bringing Coolie to the big screen with the kind of swagger that makes history books nervous. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures, this gangster action drama is already causing a global box office storm before its release.

With just a day left for the premiere, Coolie has already minted around ₹75 crore in worldwide pre-sales, including over ₹30 crore gross from India. The magic number of ₹100 crore for opening-day pre-sales now looks like a mere formality.

The Telugu states kicked off bookings in style, with fans grabbing tickets faster than you can say “Thalaivar.” The demand has been relentless, and the weekend pre-sales figure has already crossed the ₹100 crore mark—yes, before even a single scene has been screened.

If this momentum holds, Coolie will overtake Rajinikanth’s own Jailer (₹96.50 crore worldwide opening in 2023) to become his biggest opener yet. Trade analysts are predicting a ₹125+ crore worldwide opening, with some whispering about an even bigger possibility—dethroning Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo, which currently holds the Tamil cinema opening day record at ₹143 crore.

Beyond the numbers, the hype is fueled by the irresistible pairing of Rajinikanth’s screen presence and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s stylish storytelling. Early promos, songs, and action glimpses have only poured petrol on the fan frenzy. With Rajini’s signature charisma and Lokesh’s knack for sharp, mass-friendly filmmaking, Coolie isn’t just a movie—it’s an event.

If word-of-mouth matches the pre-release buzz, this could be more than a record-breaker—it might just become a cultural moment for Tamil cinema. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual moviegoer, one thing is clear: when Coolie hits theatres, the box office won’t just ring—it’ll roar.
