Coolie vs War 2: South superstar Rajnikanth’s Coolie surpassed Hrithik Roshan’s long-awaited War 2 by a margin of more than Rs 10 crore in advance booking collections. In a north vs south box office battle, Jr NTR’s War 2 day 1 advance booking collection has collected Rs 22.78 crore so far. But breaking the charts is Rajnikanth’s Koolie with nearly Rs 40 crore in its kitty, as per Sacnilk reports.
With both films releasing on August 14, they are set to create big waves on the big screen. With Rajni’s gangster aura and Hrithik’s patriotic macho clashing, the fans are in for an entertaining Independence Day weekend. As Koolie is set to beat Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava with a record-breaking opening day box office collection, the Rs 80+ crore advance worldwide collection has silenced all critics.

This Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has sold over 13 lakh tickets for its opening day alone and has received immense love from Maharashtra, collecting more than Rs 70 lakh from the state. Delhi-NCR, however, is not far behind as fans are expected to flock to theatres to catch the Rajnikanth starrer in Hindi.

War 2 advance booking report day 1
One of the highest advance collections reported so far, Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani’s War 2 has collected Rs 22.78 crores. Gujarat audiences have been extremely generous and have already contributed Rs 60.54 lakh to the film’s feat in theatres across all languages. In Hindi, however, Mumbai audiences cannot wait to see their favourite stars on the big screen.
Starring NTR Jr, Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor in key roles, a blockbuster is expected with high occupancy rates. These high standards come after Saiyaara’s box office success, where the debutant duo Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda took the film to become the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film in 2025. All box office trackers question now is, can Coolie beat this record?
