Coolie and War 2 Stumble at Box Office on Second Weekend
23 Aug
Summary
- Coolie and War 2 fail to maintain strong box office performance on second Saturday
- Coolie earns only ₹10-11 crore, while War 2 manages ₹6-6.5 crore
- Both films struggle to justify their massive budgets of ₹350 crore and beyond
As of August 24th, 2025, the highly anticipated Bollywood action films Coolie and War 2 have both faced a significant setback at the box office during their second weekend.
Coolie, starring the legendary Rajinikanth, managed to earn only ₹10-11 crore on its 10th day, the second Saturday of its release. This is a significant drop from its opening weekend performance, and a far cry from the expectations set by its massive ₹350 crore budget.
Similarly, War 2, the much-hyped sequel to the 2019 hit War, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, earned a mere ₹6-6.5 crore on its 10th day. Despite a strong start, the film has struggled to maintain its momentum, leaving the producers and fans disappointed.
Both films witnessed a drop in occupancy rates, with Coolie managing 35% and War 2 a mere 17.9% on their respective second Saturdays. While Coolie saw a 72% jump from the previous day, and War 2 a 56% increase, these numbers are still not enough to consider the films a success.
As the industry closely watches the final box office numbers, it is clear that these two big-budget action spectacles are not headed towards the glorious end their producers had hoped for. The struggle to justify the massive investments in these films continues, leaving the future of such high-stakes Bollywood projects in question.
