Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj's 'Coolie' India Advance Booking Update

Chennai, August 3 - The buzz surrounding superstar Rajinikanth's highly anticipated gangster action thriller Coolie is reaching a fever pitch as the film nears its grand release on August 14, 2025. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the trailer of Coolie was launched on August 2, featuring a vintage mass-action Rajini avatar. ## As the movie is only 11 days away from hitting the big screen, everyone wants to know when the advance booking will open in India. According to the latest update, the film's pre-sales will open on August 8 in Kerala state, as confirmed by regional distributor HM Associates. Given Rajinikanth’s massive fanbase in the state, exhibitors are preparing for packed shows and potential early sellouts. The rest of India pre-sales are also expected to open around this date. ## Meanwhile, the overseas bookings of Coolie are on a rampage mode, particularly in North America, where it has already crossed the impressive $1 million milestone for the premiere shows with 12 days still left. This indicates the film's box office potential in the international markets, due to the powerful collaborations. ## With Coolie set for a multilingual release, expectations are sky-high for it to dominate the Independence Day weekend box office in India. Early tracking shows that Coolie will easily take 100+ crores opening, but can it go further and score the biggest start for Tamil cinema, is the question to be answered. ## The film’s gritty tone, high-octane action, and throwback storytelling style have resonated well with fans online, while the unique blend of Rajini’s charisma and Lokesh's cinematic flair positions Coolie as a major event film. ## Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie stars Rajinikanth in the lead, supported by a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and a special cameo by Aamir Khan. Music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose soundtrack has already become a rage among fans. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14 and will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Animated Blockbuster Mahavatar Narsimha Set To Hit 100 Crore In India

Mumbai, August 2 - Kaleem Productions and Hombale Films Mahavatar Narsimha is turning out to be a sensational blockbuster and box office phenomenon no one predicted before the release. The epic animated devotional action drama is heading towards 100 crores gross in India. ## The first film in the ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe is rewriting history at the Indian box office. It had already become the highest-grossing animated movie in the opening weekend itself, and through the second Friday (8 days), it grossed around 62 crores in India, after taking the opening of just around 2 crores gross. ## Mahavatar Narsimha is expected to gross around 18 crores domestically on its 9th day, the second Saturday, after showing almost a 100% jump from Friday. This pushes the total domestic collection to around 80 crores gross in 9 days. With a big Sunday ahead, the movie is likely to enter the 100 crores gross club by tomorrow itself, which is a monstrous result. ## The Hindi version continues to lead the charge, contributing around 59 crore gross alone in 9 days. Despite being a non-mainstream genre in Indian cinema, Mahavatar Narsimha has received strong traction in both multiplexes and single screens, especially in northern circuits. The film's appeal across age groups—ranging from families to young animation fans—has helped it defy expectations and sustain momentum beyond its opening week.## Directed by Ashwin Kumar and featuring a stylised reimagining of the Narsimha avatar from the Hindu epic, Mahavatar Narsimha has been praised for its high-quality animation, intense action sequences, and emotionally resonant storytelling. The film's visual scale and mythological depth have connected with audiences beyond language barriers, as reflected in its performance across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam markets. ## Stay tuned...

Shetty's comedy drama Su From So has surprised one and all by emerging as a box office blockbuster. ## Directed by J. P. Thuminad, Su From So was released on July 25, and despite the limited expectations, the movie has crossed 30 crores gross collection at the domestic box office and is heading towards the 50 crores mark.

There is an animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha, backed by Hombale Films, which has sold more than 2 million tickets, but it is a multilingual title. ## Produced by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa and Raj B. Shetty under Lighter Buddha Films, the movie stars Shaneel Gautham, J. P. Thuminad, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash Thuminad, Deepak Rai Panaje, Mime Ramdas and Raj B. Shetty in key roles. ## Set in the coastal village of Marlur linked to Someshwara, the story of the movie follows Ashoka, a carefree young man whose innocent crush spirals into rumours of possession by a ghost named Sulochana, upending village life through a cascade of comedic supernatural events. ## Stay tuned...Su From So State Wise Gross CollectionDayKarnatakaAPTGTamil NaduKeralaRest Of IndiaDay TotalDay 1 [1st Friday]₹ 0.89 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.01 Cr₹ 0.9 CrDay 2 [1st Saturday]₹ 2.45 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.05 Cr₹ 2.5 CrDay 3 [1st Sunday]₹ 3.98 Cr₹ 0.03 Cr₹ 0.01 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.08 Cr₹ 4.1 CrDay 4 [1st Monday]₹ 3.5 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.01 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 3.55 CrDay 5 [1st Tuesday]₹ 4 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.01 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 4.05 CrDay 6 [1st Wednesday]₹ 4.07 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.04 Cr₹ 4.15 CrDay 7 [1st Thursday]₹ 4.26 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.05 Cr₹ 4.35 CrWeek 1 Gross₹ 23.15 Cr₹ 0.11 Cr₹ 0.07 Cr₹ 0 Cr₹ 0.27 Cr₹ 23.6 CrDay 8 [2nd Friday]₹ 4.25 Cr₹ 0.01 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.08 Cr₹ 0.04 Cr₹ 4.4 CrDay 9 [2nd Saturday]₹ 5.85 Cr₹ 0.02 Cr₹ 0.05 Cr₹ 0.25 Cr₹ 0.13 Cr₹ 6.3 CrTotal₹ 33.25 Cr₹ 0.14 Cr₹ 0.14 Cr₹ 0.33 Cr₹ 0.44 Cr₹ 34.3 Cr ## Su From So Box Office Collection Day Wise | All Language [See Footfalls] DayIndia Net Collection Change(+/-) Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹ 0.78 Cr [Ka: 0.78 Cr ] - Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹ 2.17 Cr [Ka: 2.17 Cr ] 178.21% Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 3.5 Cr [Ka: 3.5 Cr ] 61.29% Day 4 [1st Monday] ₹ 3.05 Cr [Ka: 3.05 Cr ] -12.86% Day 5 [1st Tuesday] ₹ 3.4 Cr [Ka: 3.4 Cr ] 11.48% Day 6 [1st Wednesday] ₹ 3.5 Cr [Ka: 3.5 Cr ] 2.94% Day 7 [1st Thursday] ₹ 3.75 Cr [Ka: 3.75 Cr ] 7.14% Week 1 Collection ₹ 20.15 Cr [Ka: 20.15 Cr ; Mal: 0] - Day 8 [2nd Friday] ₹ 3.8 Cr [Ka: 3.75 Cr ; Mal: 0.05 Cr] 1.33% Day 9 [2nd Saturday] ₹ 5.4 Cr [Ka: 5.2 Cr ; Mal: 0.2 Cr] 42.11% Total ₹ 29.35 Cr [Ka: 29.1 Cr ; Mal: 0.25 Cr] - ## Take Subscription To See Footfalls ## India Net Collection ₹ 29.35 Cr ## Worldwide Collection ₹ 34.3 Cr ## Overseas Collection ₹ 0 Cr ## India Gross Collection ₹ 34.3 Cr ##

Coolie Trailer: Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna Set The Screen On Fire In Director Lokesh Kanagaraj's Action Thriller

Chennai, August 2 - The wait is over as superstar Rajinikanth is back in full form with the trailer of the much-awaited action thriller Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Released on August 2 during a grand event in Chennai, the trailer has taken social media by storm, showcasing vintage Rajini charm, gritty visuals, and a gold-smuggling plot wrapped in explosive action. ## A Smuggler's Saga With a Mass Makeover ## The stylish three-plus-minute-long trailer of the film shows the ensemble cast involved in an intense action drama, led by Rajinikanth and a surprise cameo of Aamir Khan. Set against the backdrop of watch and gold smuggling, the high-octane actioner promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. ## Director Lokesh Kanagaraj sets the tone for a gritty, emotional journey that brings together old-school gangster elements and stylised action choreography, much like his previous works in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). The movie has a powerhouse ensemble, which also includes cast, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir. ## While the trailer focuses primarily on Rajinikanth, glimpses of other characters suggest high-voltage confrontations and layered character arcs. ## Anirudh's Electrifying Score ## Music composer Anirudh Ravichander once again elevates the visuals with a thumping background score that blends folk percussion with modern sound design. The theme, accompanied by slo-mo action shots and vintage Rajini-style walks, adds an epic feel to the proceedings. ## Lokesh’s First A-Rated Film ## As revealed earlier, Coolie is director Lokesh's first A-rated blockbuster, and the trailer also confirms the same with some raw action. The dark tone, intense violence, and smuggling backdrop appear to justify the adult tag. ## The film is scheduled to hit the big screen on August 14, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada versions, worldwide. The advance booking is expected to open around August 8. ## ## Stay tuned...

With still 12 days to go for the release, the film's premiere pre-sales have crossed $900K and are set to cross $1 million by tomorrow. ## Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie will be eyeing all-time record premiere for Tamil movies in North America.

According to the report by The Hollywood Reporter, Mark Ruffalo is returning to reprise the role of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in the upcoming film. ## Along with Ruffalo, the report also revealed that Michael Mando, known for his work on Better Call Saul, is returning to reprise the role of the Scorpion, the villain character whom he first played in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, which kicked off the Holland-centric Spider-Man movies. ## Earlier, it was revealed that Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his role of the vigilante known as the Punisher.

Rajinikanth's Coolie Gets 'A' Certificate From CBFC; A First For Director Lokesh Kanagaraj

Chennai, August 1 - Superstar Rajinikanth's gangster action thriller film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has been officially awarded an 'A' (Adults Only) certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the makers announced on Friday. ## This marks a significant moment in both Rajinikanth's and Lokesh's careers. For Rajinikanth, this is the first A-rated film in nearly 36 years, with the last one believed to be the 1989 release Siva. For Lokesh, known for his high-octane action thrillers, Coolie becomes the first film in his directorial journey to receive an adult rating. ## The 'A' certificate is reportedly due to the film’s uncompromising portrayal of violence and intense action sequences, something Lokesh also hinted at in a recent interview. The director, who is popular for his stylised narrative style seen in films like Vikram and Leo, wanted to bring a new edge to Rajinikanth’s mass appeal with a darker and more intense treatment, which naturally led to the adult certification. ## While the rating adds a level of intrigue, it also presents a challenge for the film’s box office performance in family-oriented markets, especially when the runtime is reportedly around 3 hours. Traditionally, Rajinikanth films enjoy a wide demographic appeal, including family audiences. However, reports suggest that the bold move might pay off by attracting younger urban viewers looking for a more hard-hitting experience. ## The makers have announced a grand trailer launch event on August 2 in Chennai, which is expected to be attended by the entire cast and crew. Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie is set to release worldwide on August 14, 2025, in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada languages.## Stay tuned...

Top 10 Biggest Second Week Hindi Grossers: Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Takes 10th Spot, Beats Aamir Khan's PK, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan

Mumbai, August 1 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has entered the elite list of the top ten highest second-week grossers in Hindi language. The movie has had an excellent second week with a collection of over 100 crores net, making it only the tenth Hindi-language film to ever cross the 100 crore mark in the second week. This milestone underlines the film's strong word-of-mouth and consistent audience interest. ## With this impressive second-week number, the Mohit Suri's directorial has beaten the iconic blockbusters like Aamir Khan's PK and Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan in terms of week-two collections. PK had collected around 96 crore net, while Pathaan did approximately 92 crore. Saiyaara, being a non-franchise romantic film with fresh faces, outperformed these megastar-driven projects, speaks volumes about its content resonance and mass connect.## The top films in second-week collections in Hindi include juggernauts like Pushpa 2, Chhaava, Baahubali 2, Gadar 2, and Stree 2. It's also notable that most films in this list were massive action spectacles or franchise films backed by heavy marketing and established stars. Saiyaara's entry into this list breaks that mould. ## In just 14 days, the film has managed a total net collection of 280.5 crore, while its worldwide gross is estimated at over 441 crore, also making it the highest-grossing romantic Bollywood film of all time. This performance is not just a victory for the film itself but a statement on how strong storytelling and emotional engagement can triumph even in a star-driven industry.## Top 10 Biggest Second Week Grosser In Hindi (Net Collection)S.N.Movie Title2nd Weekend Collection1Pushpa 2 (2024)₹ 196.50 Cr2Chhaava (2025)₹ 180.25 Cr3Baahubali 2 (2017)₹ 143.25 Cr4Stree 2 (2024)₹ 141.40 Cr5Gadar 2 (2023)₹ 134.47 Cr6Animal (2023)₹ 130.73 Cr7Jawan (2023)₹ 125.46 Cr8Dangal (2016)₹ 115.96 Cr9The Kashmir Files₹ 108.97 Cr10Saiyaara (2025)₹ 107.75 Cr## Stay tuned...

Previously, the record was held by Jr. NTR Devara, which took over 11 hours to reach the same milestone. ## The overwhelming response to War 2's advance bookings speaks volumes about the film's pre-release buzz. The sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, this YRF Spy Universe project brings together two of the biggest pan-India stars, Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, for the first time. Fans across the globe, especially in the US and Canada, seem to be eager to witness the high-octane action spectacle on the big screen.## If this momentum continues, War 2 will easily cross $1 million in premiere day sales.

The growing overseas demand for Indian tentpole films reinforces the increasing global appeal of Indian cinema. ## With still 2 weeks to go for the release, trade experts are already throwing their hats at a historic opening for War 2 across domestic and international markets. The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji and is expected to carry forward the Spy Universe with intense action, stylish set-pieces, and emotional stakes.

Mahavatar Narsimha First Week (7 Days) Box Office Collection: Animated Blockbuster Score Fantastic 50+ Crore Gross

Mumbai, August 1 - The Indian animated epic Mahavatar Narsimha has taken the box office by storm, concluding its first week with a sensational 50+ crore gross collection at the Indian box office. Released on July 25, the film has quickly become a cultural and commercial phenomenon, pushing the boundaries of what animated cinema can achieve in India. ## Groundbreaking Success for Indian Animation ## Directed by Ashwin Kumar and backed by Kaleem Productions in association with Hombale Films, Mahavatar Narsimha marks a historic achievement for Indian animation. The film's devotional themes, spiritual narrative, and high-quality visuals have struck a chord with audiences across age groups and linguistic regions. ## From Day 1, the film showed growth fueled by strong word-of-mouth and positive audience reactions. Its appeal among family audiences and its widespread dubbed release across multiple Indian languages have played a crucial role in its box office performance. ## Hindi Version Leads The Way, Followed By Telugu ## The Hindi version has emerged as the frontrunner in terms of performance, accounting for around 38.50 crore in India gross collections alone during the first week. It grossed over 13.50 crores in the first weekend, followed by the sensational hold during the weekdays. ## Meanwhile, the Telugu version continues to contribute steadily, with strong regional support, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It has grossed approximately 12 crores in its first week, while other versions contributed around 2 crores gross, for a total domestic opening week in the range of 52 crores gross, which is excellent. ## This remarkable feat is especially significant for an animated film and underscores the growing appetite for culturally rooted, visually rich storytelling among Indian-audience audiences, especially Hindi and Telugu-speaking. ## What Is Next For Mahavatar Narsimha? ## The movie is unlikely to stop anytime soon. The word of mouth is spreading fast, and despite the new releases this week, Mahavatar Narsimha is expected to perform very well. Depending on how it performs in the coming days, the movie has a real shot at 100 crores gross, which is looking inevitable at this point. ## Stay tuned...
