Rajinikanth’s latest film coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has crossed over 400 crores, surpassing the highest worldwide gross collection in the Tamil film industry. The film hit the screen on August 14 and collected over Rs 100 crore through its pre-release bookings. On the opening day, it surged ahead with Rs 65 crore and surpassed the movie War 2, which had collected over Rs 52 crore.
The people’s thoughts towards this movie are very positive and appreciated, as it collected 194.25 crore on its fourth day.
The movies Coolie and War are the two blockbuster movies that have extra drama, giving competition to each other, making it interesting which movie is gonna take first place, even though it’s clear.
As the movie was released on 14 August so it’s left to see whether it is gonna be a blockbuster, as it depends on the box office collection, and see how strong it is and stay while other new films are going on, it much depends on the word of mouth and the audience reviews.
Reviews are good, as they liked Lokesh’s style of making with Rajinikanth’s screen presence. But some people feel that the screenplay was weak, and it affected the whole movie.
With people’s liking, it has gained over 400 crore gross.
According to people, the movie's choice of star power, visuals, and action is great, but the storyline is weak, and it lacks consistency. It’s enjoyable, but only if you like thrills and visuals; don’t expect such a good script or emotional payoff. War 2 has earned 183.25 crore gross.
Coolie was roaring from the start, smashing the pre-release record, crossing Rs 200 crore domestically just in a few days, breaking the North American revenue chart, and dominating regional clashes - it shows the power of Rajinikanth’s film.
However, the success possibilities will be calculated only after a post-weekend momentum, critical reception, and competition. There is one thing that coolie is a spectacular chapter in Rajinikanth’s illustration career.
If we talk about War 2 storms in fireworks - Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR light the screen, sleek action and visuals. That is pretty perfect, the opening is that screams blockbuster. Yet if we look aside from the perfection of visuals, the storyline doesn’t have that much punch, or the star doesn't deliver. There are many critics from the audience, and they are dazzled and questioning. Will spectacle alone carry it across the finish?
One thing is clear: it is more about swagger rather than the script. Those who are crazy for adrenaline, it is a feast. But for those who are looking for a great plot, it can turn into a bad experience.
