Rajinikanth’s much awaited film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on August 14. With just a few days left for its arrival, advance bookings have opened everywhere, and the response is nothing short of extraordinary.
In Kerala, pre-bookings began at 9 a.m., and within only three hours, nearly 1,43,000 tickets were sold through the Book My Show platform, generating a huge ₹2.36 crore in revenue. The numbers reflect the massive excitement among fans for Rajinikanth’s latest outing.
While Rajinikanth commands a loyal fan following across the globe, Vijay has long held dominance in the Kerala market. His blockbuster Leo had collected ₹12 crore on its opening day, which still stands as the highest Day 1 earnings for a Tamil film in the state.
With such a strong advance booking performance, many trade experts believe Coolie has a real chance to surpass Leo’s record in Kerala. Now all eyes are on August 14 to see if Rajinikanth can reclaim the top spot and prove that his stardom in the region is as powerful as ever.
