Rajinikanth’s Coolie With NTR War 2 Alleged Collections

Two giants are walking into theatres at the same time, Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie and NTR–Hrithik Roshan’s War 2. Both are dubbed for the Telugu audience, both backed by big names, and both chasing the same audience attention. In the Telugu states, excitement is peaking. Even before the first show rolls, pre-sales are reflecting the kind of craze these films have built.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie has managed to keep its grip on the audience despite clashing with War 2. Mass bookings in Hyderabad and other major centres prove that the Rajini charm is still unshakable. War 2 has grabbed prime screens, but the fight for ticket counters is intense. Interestingly, Coolie seems to have a slight edge in demand even with the NTR factor boosting War 2.

Trade circles are buzzing with numbers. Coolie’s worldwide advance booking sales are reportedly over ₹80 crore, while War 2 stands above ₹20 crore. In North America, Coolie’s premieres have already touched $2.145M+, a record for a Tamil film. War 2 sits at $558.4K, with hopes of crossing the $1M mark before the first show. The next 24 hours will be key in shaping Day 1 numbers for both films.

Beyond numbers, the buzz feels different for each. Coolie is riding on multiple selling points, Rajinikanth’s stardom, Lokesh’s storytelling, Nagarjuna’s presence, and Anirudh’s music. War 2 is banking heavily on the star power of NTR and Hrithik, plus its big Bollywood action flavour. Whether the audience leans towards Rajini’s mass appeal or the NTR–Hrithik combo, the clash promises to set the box office on fire.
