Advance bookings for Rajinikanth Coolie have burst through the ₹50 crore mark globally with no release yet. Overseas ticket sales alone hit over $4 million roughly ₹33 crore. India is pulling spectacular numbers too, the Tamil version has already made about ₹9.98 crore, backed by brisk uptake in Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi versions. In North America and Canada, the film sold more than 50,000 tickets and rattled up bookings across 1,485 shows in 467 locations, setting the stage for a monumental opening day. India saw an explosive start, especially in Kerala where over 1 lakh tickets sold in just the first few hours. That kind of heat could shatter even the most audacious opening day records. Coolie has already overtaken Rajinikanth own Jailer in advance sales and appears poised to eclipse Leo’s ₹46 crore pre-booking benchmark as well.
Rajnikanth Coolie Movie a Storm
No surprise that Coolie dominates headlines. It pairs Superstar Rajinikanth with Lokesh Kanagaraj and a cast that reads like a roster of heavyweight hitters Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Shruti Haasan and more. Aamir cameo adds curiosity but cannot carry weight on its own. Soundtrack by Anirudh boosts the ball rolling, and early reactions call it Rajinikanth strongest offering since Kabali. Fans and trade bodies predict at least ₹100 crore domestic opening and $2 million overseas debut. A heartfelt tribute from Lokesh before release reflects deep pride in the collective effort behind the film. Meanwhile, international markets appear primed Coolie is already projected to surpass the North American premiere day record set by Kabali nine years ago. That speaks to Rajinikanth unshakable global pull and the film pre-release buzz.
What this reveals is crisp: Coolie is more than a movie it’s a cultural event. Tickets are moving like wildfire, expectations are off the charts and the countdown to August 14 is now a marketing campaign in real time.
