War 2 Bombs in Telugu States

NTR’s Bollywood debut film, War 2, was released in theaters amidst huge expectations among fans. The film did not receive positive talk, which affected its collections. As a result, War 2 bombs in Telugu states.

The Telugu States theatrical rights of the War sequel were bought by Naga Vamsi for 82 Cr excluding GST; with GST, the film needs to collect a 95 Cr share for break-even. The film sees a below-par opening and holds average on day 2. 

War 2 Drops Heavily In Telugu States

But on day 3 it completely loses the momentum and sees a heavy drop in numbers. NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 is heading towards a big failure in Telugu states.

For three days, the Telugu states’ share is around 5 Cr, including GST, and the Hindi version’s recovery is just at 35%. Today advance bookings are also poor for the film, and even crossing 50 Cr share itself looks not possible. 

Unexpectedly, this spy action drama is heading towards a heavy loss venture for all buyers involved in its business.

Coolie Heads for Heavy Loss in Kerala

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is fighting at the box office on its first weekend, as it received mixed WOM/reviews. The film registered several records in three days. But Coolie is heading for a heavy loss in Kerala

The film’s theatrical rights for Kerala were bought for 14 Cr MG, with expenses. For full recovery, the film needs to collect close to 40 Cr gross. The film opens really well with 9.75 Cr, and on day 2 holds well with 5.75 Cr gross.

However, on day 3 the film sees a heavy drop in numbers with 3 Cr gross, taking total gross to 18.5 Cr. Today advance bookings are poor, suggesting the number will be lower than day 3.

At this trend the film cannot post any decent numbers from tomorrow, and it is likely to close under 25 Cr gross. Which means Rajinikanth’s Coolie will end up with a heavy loss in Kerala.

More than 30% loss is expected for buyers, and this is the first time that a Lokesh Kanagaraj film is facing a loss venture in Kerala. Even Leo, with mixed WOM, succeeds in achieving breakeven and profits in Kerala.

Akhil Akkineni Shocks Fans

Akkineni fans are furious with Nagarjuna, as they felt his character in Coolie, Simon, does not do justice to his stature or stardom. While the film is minting good collections at the box office, Akhil Akkineni shocks fans with his latest Instagram post on Simon/Nagarjuna.

When Lokesh Kanagaraj and team announced that King Nag will play the role of Simon in Rajinikanth’s Coolie, Akkineni fans and audiences put big hopes on his character.

The first look poster of Nagarjuna’s character and the back shot in the Powerhouse promo, Lokesh comparing it with the Joker character from The Dark Knight—everything raised the hype among fans.

However, when they actually saw the movie, Nag fans were completely disappointed with Simon’s characterization in the film. The fans and audiences are continuously firing at Nagarjuna about how he was convinced to take on this role.

In a situation like this, Akhil Akkineni took the fans by surprise as he posted a photo with Nagarjuna on Instagram, saying, “Congratulations to King for ‘Coolie.'”

Tamil Legends Disappoint Big Time in 2025

The Tamil industry has given a few big movies involving big stars and directors this year. However, most of them have landed as big disappointments. Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam, Shankar, and Murugadoss, along with others, disappointed big time in 2025.

Shankar, Maniratnam, Murugadoss, and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only have a big fanbase in Tamil audiences, but they have also created a big brand in all audiences and even expanded Kollywood markets too. 

Tamil Big Directors and Actors Disappoint in 2025

Putting the box office results aside, content-wise, Shankar’s Game Changer, Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, Murugadoss’s Sikandar, and now Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie fall short of expectations.

Everyone anticipated 2025 would be a year for Kollywood directors and expected that their legendary directors would give the best but were disappointed in a big way.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie might end up as an average-above average grosser at the box office, but as said above, in 2025, Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam and Shankar, along with other noted directors, delivered pathetic content.
