From pre-sales to opening day and opening weekend, there was high competition between Vijay’s Leo and Rajnikath’s Coolie because both are directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. However, Rajini scores a 25 Cr lead in 4 days in the Coolie vs. Leo comparison.
Both of the films have been released with massive hype, and they have the music composed by Anirudh, which is one of the crucial factors in bringing the buzz among audiences.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie Leads Over Vijay’s Leo on the Opening Weekend
On opening day, Coolie broke Leo’s opening by a 5Cr+ margin and emerged as the biggest Kollywood opener, but WOM and reviews of Rajinikanth-Lokesh’s movie are much poorer than Vijay and Lokesh’s.
Everyone expected Coolie could not match Leo’s collections on the weekend. But on a surprising note, Rajini’s Coolie holds really well in its 1st weekend and even leads Leo by a 25 Cr+ margin. Leo’s 4-day gross is 357 Cr, whereas Coolie’s 4-day gross is 380 Cr.
But on Monday the movie is not holding as strong as Leo; Leo collected nearly 600 Cr gross in the full run. For Coolie, achieving the 500 Cr mark is itself a tough task, and it needs a decent number of people during weekdays to do so.
