Coolie is one of the most-awaited films in recent times and is all set to hit the screens on August 14, 2025. There is massive buzz across the globe for the Rajinikanth-starrer, and it is getting a wide release in the Telugu states as well. We had already revealed that Coolie is getting a record release in the Telugu states.
Coolie to start on a strong note in Telugu
The advance bookings have started, and seeing the way tickets are being sold, Coolie is all set for a record-breaking number in Telugu. Sources reveal that Coolie will gross between ₹28 to ₹30 crore on day one of its release in Telugu, a solid figure considering it is a direct Tamil film.
Going back in time, Rajinikanth's yesteryear film, 2.0, directed by Shankar, made Rs 36 crore gross on day one in Telugu, which is the highest for a Tamil dubbed film in Telugu to date. So, Coolie is set to become one of Rajini's biggest openers.
On the other hand, the buzz for Coolie is at an all-time high as Telugu superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna plays the main villain for the first time in his career. Along with him, Kannada star Upendra, Malayalam actor Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj play key roles. With the songs composed by Anirudh already becoming superhits, Coolie is releasing at an all-time high in Telugu.
On the other hand, Coolie is releasing alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2, which is also getting a massive release in Telugu. Ever since the release dates of these two films were announced, there has been considerable competition between the two camps for theatre allocation. But as per the trade, Coolie is getting a slightly better release in Telugu compared to War 2.
Coolie's Telugu pre-release business is here
The pre-release business of Coolie is valued at around ₹80–90 crore, and only a blockbuster start at the box office will ensure the film recovers that amount to be in the safe zone. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who enjoys a solid fan following in Telugu, Coolie is being closely monitored by the trade in Telugu, and everyone is eager to see how much each film makes on day one at the box office.
Let’s see how much the film makes in the days to come. Stay tuned for more updates on Coolie’s box office performance.
