Coolie Vs War 2: Who Is Going To Win Where!

This August 14 is going to be a very special one for the Indian audience as we have two big films in the form of Coolie and War 2 arriving at the box office. While the fan of both these films are actively debating about the kind of box, Office returns that they are expecting, let us have a look at what is likely to be projected.

The box office clash on India's Independence Day weekend between War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR and Coolie starring Rajinikanth implies War 2 is expected to dominate domestically and Coolie leading overseas, reflecting regional fan bases and market dynamics backed by pre-sale trends showing Coolie outpacing "War 2" in South India and North America.

Coolie has garnered significant hype due to its Rating from the CBFC, a rare certification for Rajinikanth’s films since 1989, signaling intense action and adult themes, with its trailer release on August 2, 2025, featuring a 2-hour-48-minute runtime and a star-studded cast including Aamir Khan, aligning with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s reputation for gritty storytelling.

War 2 part of the YRF Spy Universe with a ₹400 crore budget, leverages Hrithik Roshan’s cameo in Tiger 3 and Jr NTR’s Hindi debut, but faces scrutiny over its Independence Day marketing coinciding with Pakistan’s Independence Day, sparking online debate about its patriotic framing.

So in terms of regional market, it needs to be said that War 2 is ahead. But when it comes to global market and North America box office revenue, it is the Rajinikanth film that is ahead.
