Rajinikanth isn’t just returning — he’s erupting. With Coolie still days away from release, global Day 1 pre-sales have already stormed past a jaw-dropping ₹65 crore — and the clock’s still ticking. Trade trackers say the film is now barreling toward the unthinkable: a potential ₹100 crore pre-sale mark before it even hits screens. Yes, you read that right — pre-sales. Not total collection. Just Day 1. Thalaivar things.
This isn't just hype. According to High On Films, the pre-release business of Coolie has already crossed ₹250 crore, steamrolling past Vijay’s Leo and rewriting what’s possible in the Indian film market. Advance bookings are blowing up from Chennai to Chicago, proving that when Rajini moves, the world still watches — and buys tickets in bulk.
The visuals released so far are pure vintage gold. Black-and-white posters dripping with drama and sweat — a soaked Rajini with a sickle in hand, invoking the rawness of Mullum Malarum and the swagger of Baasha. Fans are convinced this isn’t just another mass film — this is Rajinikanth the icon resurrecting the labour-class hero, and doing it with full force, right in time for India’s Independence Day.
Let’s not forget, this madness follows the massive success of Jailer, which raked in over ₹600 crore globally in 2023. But Coolie is something else. This is legacy on steroids. This is generational cinema — watched by grandfathers, fathers, and now iPad-tapping Gen Zs who’ve never even seen a VCR but know exactly what a “Thalaivar Entry Scene” means.
If Coolie does crack ₹100 crore pre-sales on Day 1 — and all signs say it will — it’ll officially crown Rajinikanth as the last word in Indian box office superstardom. Not just relevant. Not just popular. Mythic.
