"Coolie" by Rajinikanth Makes History in North America
Rewriting Tamil cinema history, superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, which was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has made a record-breaking start in the US. The film has surpassed the previous records set by Kabali and Leo to become the highest Tamil opener ever in North America, with pre-sales surpassing $3 million.
Breaking Records in the Opening
According to trade reports, pre-orders for the premiere alone brought in over $2.9 million, creating a great deal of excitement among fans ahead of the first performance. Coolie became the fastest Tamil film to reach the $3 million mark in the US market on its first day of release.
Additionally, Rajinikanth has shattered his own Kabali record, which is all the more remarkable considering that it was accomplished solely through advance reservations.
The global box office is expected to soar.
According to industry insiders, Coolie could become one of the most successful Kollywood global debuts ever with an opening day total of over ₹150 crore. The movie might break all previous records in a number of foreign countries if current trends continue.
Music & Star Power Boost the craze
Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj are among the film's outstanding cast members. Coolie is being praised as a mass entertainment success and a turning point in Tamil cinema's international reach, thanks to Anirudh Ravichander's captivating music and background score.
