These days, movie theaters have an ambiance akin to a festival. ‘Coolie’, the much anticipated film helmed by master storyteller Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring South superstar Rajinikanth movie, is the cause. This movie has already begun to win over audiences’ hearts before it has even been released, and the numbers of advance bookings have begun to write a new chapter in Indian cinema history.

Crossed the big figure of 50 crores even before release

Four days remain until the movie’s debut, but the charm of “Coolie” has already permeated the ticket booths. Globally, its advance booking revenue has surpassed Rs 50 crores. The unique aspect is that it originated in the global market rather than India. The number of tickets sold overseas increased so dramatically that many films’ lifetime collections began to disappear.

Also beat ‘Jailer’ in India

In the Indian market, “Coolie” has surpassed Rajinikanth’s own smash hit movie “Jailer” in terms of advance bookings. considerably outperformed “Jailer,” which had set a pre-sales box office records of Rs 18 crore. In India, advance reservations totaling Rs 14 crore have been made thus far, with Rs 10 crore reserved for the first day alone. While Telugu and Kannada dubs have also gotten off to a strong start, the Tamil cinema version is leading the way. Although it is lagging a bit, the Hindi version could catch up as the publication date draws near.

Created a new history in foreign markets

In overseas markets, the ‘Coolie’ obsession is even more widespread. The movie has made about 1.7 million US dollars (around Rs 14 crore) since its launch in North America alone. Over 56,000 tickets have already been sold in America, which has contributed 1.45 million dollars to this total. Additionally, this amount surpasses the first-ever box office receipts of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s previous blockbuster, “Leo,” which came in at 1.3 million dollars. ‘Coolie’ has made a total of Rs 41 crore abroad, surpassing Kamal Haasan’s lifetime international earnings from ‘Thug Life’ at the box office.

Coolie set to break the biggest Tamil advance booking record ever

‘Coolie’ is poised to set the record for the largest advance booking of any Tamil film, as evidenced by these astounding numbers. ‘Leo’ currently holds this record, having earned a total of Rs 46 crore. However, given how quickly “Coolie” bookings are growing, it will not only shatter the record but also establish a new benchmark. This is thought to be Rajinikanth’s biggest opening, and it might end up being one of the biggest openings in Indian movie history.
