Less than two days to go for the release of Coolie, the much-hyped Rajinikanth film, which is all set to take charge of big screens on August 14. The action thriller is going all out on its pan-Indian strategy, with the expectations set for Tamil cinema's first 1000-crore film. However, while one has to wait and watch if the film will indeed break the records, the box office prediction for the first day is staying strong over Rs 100 crore.
Coolie is currently the most expected Tamil film and has all the forces of Indian cinema as part of it. With Rajinikanth headlining the Lokesh Kanagaraj film and Sun Pictures mounting it on a big scale, it has the stalwarts of Indian industry, including Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and others.

With Tamil cinema pinning its hopes on Coolie to become its first 1000-crore film, the first day collection prediction for the film stands at anywhere between Rs 100 crore to Rs 150 crore worldwide, as per multiple reports. Made on a lavish scale, it is important that Coolie gets into the 100-crore club worldwide on the first day itself, given the momentum of the film can sustain the coming days if the film becomes fan favourite. It is also to be noted that the film is certified A, which means it will lose out on family audience, and solely relies on youngsters and adults to watch the film. Hence, it is a must that the film works well as a repeat watch.

Coolie is an action thriller and a standalone film from LCU. With music by Anirudh Ravichander, the film comes at a time when Rajinikanth is celebrating 50 years in the industry as an actor. Coolie marks the first time the superstar is collaborating with Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will clash at the box office with Hindi spy action thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR.
