According to the trade website, Coolie made an estimated ₹2.08 crore net in India on its second Monday, taking its total collection to ₹259.43 crore. This is the lowest it has collected in a day since its release on 14 August, when it clashed with Ayan Mukerji’s Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer War 2. The film registered a 13.58% occupancy in Tamil and 15.51% for Telugu. Despite the dip, Coolie has crossed the ₹500 crore mark worldwide and has already become the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025. It also edged out its competition, War 2, which made ₹222 crore net in India in 11 days vs Coolie’s ₹257.35 crore collection. It remains to be seen how it fares in the coming days.
