Rajinikanth’s Coolie Set for Strong Opening with Rs. 7-9 Crores

The highly anticipated film Coolie, featuring superstar Rajinikanth, is scheduled to premiere on March 14, 2024. This film is generating significant excitement, touted as the biggest project in Rajinikanth’s career. The buzz surrounding Coolie has been relentless since its announcement, making it a standout release in Tamil cinema.

The film boasts a star-studded cast, including notable actors Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Aamir Khan, ensuring its appeal across multiple regional film industries, including Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Directed by Lokesh Kangaraj, the film’s music, composed by Aniruddh, adds to the overall allure. Early reports indicate that fan enthusiasm is high, particularly among Rajinikanth’s loyal following, who consider this release a must-see.

Box Office Expectations Amid Competition

Advance bookings for the Tamil version of Coolie have surged, especially after its international release. However, the Hindi version faces limitations due to competition from the film War 2. Major multiplexes are allocating only one screen for the Hindi release, which may affect its box office results on opening day. Analysts predict a focus on occupancy rates rather than sheer revenue figures for the initial showings.

Despite the restricted release, expectations for the Hindi version remain optimistic. Historical data suggests Coolie could surpass the opening day earnings of Kabali, which recorded Rs. 5.20 crores back in 2016. Projections estimate the Hindi version’s first-day earnings could reach between Rs. 7-9 crores, positioning it as the second highest-grossing dubbed film for Rajinikanth after 2.0, which featured Akshay Kumar.

If the film performs well, additional screenings could be introduced over the weekend, potentially boosting its box office figures. Overall, the excitement for Coolie signifies Rajinikanth’s enduring popularity and the film’s potential to resonate with audiences across different regions.
