(Photo Credits: Instagram)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Rajinikanth\u2019s upcoming mega release Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is gathering steam at the box office in both southern and northern territories. Already enjoying massive pre-release hype in Tamil Nadu and other southern states, the action entertainer is now making its presence felt in the Hindi belt.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>Coolie Hindi Advance Booking Crosses 13,500, Sets Stage for Rs 140 Crore Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">As of 11:30 pm on August 11, Coolie had sold 13,500 tickets in top Hindi cinema chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for its opening day. Trade analysts expect this figure to rise to nearly 50,000 tickets by release day, translating to a Hindi box office debut above Rs 6 crore. This is especially notable given its face-off with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR\u2019s War 2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>Rajinikanth Eyes Massive Comeback, Lokesh Kanagaraj Targets Records<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Scheduled to release on August 14, Coolie is being positioned as a \u201cdormant volcano&#8221; ready to erupt globally. Presales across all languages are exceptional, with industry insiders predicting an opening day close to Rs 140 crore worldwide. The film is also tipped to challenge Leo\u2019s record for the biggest-ever Kollywood opener\u2014a contest that could become one of the most talked-about box office battles in recent years.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Rajinikanth, last seen in Vettaiyan, is aiming for a spectacular comeback, while Lokesh Kanagaraj continues his streak of delivering ever-bigger hits. Remarkably, he has maintained a two-year gap between major releases, with Leo arriving in October 2023 and Coolie now hitting screens just 22 months later.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">If audience reception matches early expectations, the global extended weekend total for Coolie could touch Rs 400 crore. Strong word of mouth could even propel it past 2.0, making it the highest-grossing Kollywood film in history.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">With a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Aamir Khan, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, Coolie promises high-octane action, mass entertainment, and the kind of theatrical experience Rajinikanth fans have been waiting for.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shrishti-negi-14989.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shrishti Negi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shrishti Negi is a journalist with over eight years of experience in the media industry.
