Coolie, the action drama starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, hit the theaters on August 14th. The film received mixed reviews, but the box office was on fire because of the massive hype. Still, Coolie falls short of an historic record.
No film has collected a double-digit gross in all South States to date. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 was expected to achieve this feat very easily, as it gathered a mammoth hype. But the film failed to do so because of a disappointing opening in Kerala.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie falls short of this historic record now. The film had a good chance to achieve a double-digit gross in all the South states, but due to mixed WOM and competition, the film could not gather the required number in Kerala and Telangana.
Now, we need to see which film can achieve this record. Rajini-Nelson’s Jailer 2 has a good chance to achieve this, as it will have a big craze for the sequel.
