Coolie 1st Week Box Office Collection: Rajinikanth’s Film Nets ₹222.5 Crore in 7 Days

Rajinikanth’s much-awaited Coolie has ended its first week on a powerful note at the box office. Despite the expected weekday slowdown after a record-smashing opening weekend, the film has managed to collect an impressive ₹222.5 crore net in India within 7 days.

Day-Wise Box Office Collection (India Net)

Day 1 (Thursday): ₹65 crore (Tamil version led with ₹44.5 crore)

Day 2 (Friday): ₹54.75 crore

Day 3 (Saturday): ₹39.5 crore

Day 4 (Sunday): ₹35.25 crore

➡️ Extended Opening Weekend (4 Days): ₹194.5 crore

Weekdays saw sharper dips:

• Monday: ₹12 crore
• Tuesday: ₹9.5 crore
• Wednesday: ₹6.5 crore (early estimates)

Even with the decline, trade analysts note that weekday numbers remain steady compared to the massive weekend surge.

Occupancy Highlights

The Tamil version continues to be the strongest contributor, with Chennai leading at 33% occupancy across 691 shows on Day 7. Other Tamil Nadu centres like Pondicherry (27.25%), Trichy (26.75%), Coimbatore (21.5%) and Dindigul (21.75%) reported decent numbers.

Outside Tamil Nadu, however, footfalls dropped significantly — Kochi (10.5%), Trivandrum (5%), Mumbai (9.5%) and NCR (6.75%) showed weaker trends, reflecting the film’s stronger pull in its home state.

Box Office Verdict

With ₹222.5 crore net in its first week, Coolie has reaffirmed Rajinikanth’s box office supremacy. While weekday drops were sharp, the film’s phenomenal weekend haul ensures it is already counted among the biggest blockbusters of 2025.

All eyes are now on the second weekend, which will decide if Coolie can push further towards breaking new records in Rajinikanth’s legendary career.
