Rajinikanth's Coolie Triumphs Over War 2, Nears 500 Crore Milestone
23 Aug
Summary
- Coolie wins box office clash against War 2
- Coolie set to cross 500 crore worldwide
- Coolie is Rajinikanth's third highest-grossing film

Rajinikanth's latest action blockbuster, Coolie, has managed to win a high-voltage clash against War 2 at the box office. As of August 23rd, 2025, the film has amassed a worldwide gross collection of 437.98 crore in just 8 days, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year.
Coolie has not only surpassed every single Tamil release of 2024, except for Thalapathy Vijay's The Greatest Of All Time, which earned 464.54 crore globally, but it is also poised to cross the 500 crore mark at the worldwide box office very soon. In fact, the film is now the third highest-grossing movie of Rajinikanth's career, after 2.0 (668 crore) and Jailer (605 crore).
It remains to be seen whether Coolie, which also stars Soubin, Nagarjuna, and Upendra, with special cameos by Aamir Khan, can ultimately surpass the final collection of Jailer worldwide. Nonetheless, the film's impressive performance has cemented Rajinikanth's status as a true box office powerhouse in the Tamil film industry.
