Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest action entertainer, Coolie, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Ayan Mukerji’s War 2 released in cinemas on the same day, with a record-breaking opening during the Independence Day weekend. Coolie, which was highly anticipated, had a huge start but is now having its first slowdown as weekday numbers are out. Despite the dip, the Rajinikanth starrer has crossed the Rs 200 crore milestone in India. War 2, on the other hand, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani, experienced its sharpest fall on Monday. But it continues to inch closer to the Rs 200 crore mark as well. Let’s find out who is ahead in the Coolie vs War 2 box office collection race on Day 6.
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Coolie earned around Rs 9.50 crore on Tuesday, taking its six-day domestic total to Rs 216 crore nett. On its release day, the film earned a phenomenal Rs 65 crore, thanks to its festive release window.
Friday saw a 15% dip, collecting Rs 54.75 crore, yet still maintaining strong momentum for a non-holiday weekday. However, the weekend saw a gradual slide with Rs 39.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 35.25 crore on Sunday.
Despite the low numbers, the Rajinikanth starrer remains strong in the theaters, managing to attract significant footfalls across multiplexes and single screens.
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 6
Ayan Mukerji’s high-octane spy thriller, War 2, was one of the most awaited releases of 2025, courtesy its massive pre-release buzz and a multi-star cast. However, the film started seeing a dip from Day 3 onwards, with its first Monday being its slowest day.
The fifth day saw collections dipped to over 70%, bringing in just Rs 8.75 crore nationwide. This included Rs 7 crore from the Hindi shows, Rs 1.6 crore from Telugu, and Rs 0.15 crore from Tamil.
On Tuesday, the film earned Rs 8.35 crore across all languages, a marginal 4% dip from Monday. With this, War 2 has collected Rs 192.85 crore nett in India over six days, running just behind Coolie in the current box office race.
Coolie vs War 2
The Independence Day weekend saw one of Bollywood’s most intense face-offs in recent times. While both films opened to record-breaking numbers, Rajinikanth’s Coolie managed to maintain its edge over War 2 during the initial run.
In the first five days, the Thalaivar starrer became the only release to cross the Rs 200 crore mark, marking its strong hold over the box office numbers. By Day 6, Coolie collected Rs 9.51 crore, pushing its total to Rs 216.01 crore nett, while War 2 trailed behind at Rs 192.85 crore.
