Rajinikanth has done it again his latest action thriller, Coolie, has blazed through the global box office, shining brighter than many Hollywood releases. In just four days, the film has not only crossed a staggering ₹393 crore (approximately $45 million) worldwide but has also claimed the number-one spot globally outpacing Weapons, Nobody 2, and even Freakier Friday.

That ₹393 crore total comes from a sharp India haul of ₹194.25 crore net (₹233 crore gross) plus over $18 million (₹160 crore) from overseas markets an extraordinary feat for a Tamil film. Coolie is racing toward the ₹200 crore milestone at home, possibly becoming the fastest Tamil film ever to do so.

Globally, the timing couldn't be better. With Hollywood’s summer tentpole season winding down and no major US release to challenge it, Coolie smoothly claimed the top weekend spot. In comparison, Weapons earned an estimated $44 million, and War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, mustered around $30 million in its first four days.

This triumph isn’t just about numbers. It reflects Rajinikanth’s unmatched mass appeal his loyalty transcending linguistic and national boundaries. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie features a stellar ensemble including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan in a cameo, amplifying its reach.

As the box office battle is moving forward, the success of coolie is starting a new chapter for Indian cinema. It is not only proving its strength globally, but is also showing that a star power like Rajinikanth still has the ability to get a blockbuster success at the box office.
