Key Highlights
Rajinikanth’s much-awaited film Coolie is gearing up for a grand worldwide release on August 15, 2025, coinciding with India’s Independence Day. The movie has already created waves in the global market, with overseas advance sales touching US $1.42 million in North America alone, as per trade analysts. Industry buzz suggests that Coolie’s total worldwide pre-sales have surpassed ₹50 crore, setting the stage for one of the biggest openings ever for an Indian film. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film promises high-octane action, stylish visuals, and a gripping storyline that could shatter previous overseas records held by War 2 and other Bollywood blockbusters. With massive hype across social media and strategic festival timing, Coolie is expected to dominate the box office both domestically and internationally.
Editor Insights
From a commercial standpoint, Coolie is positioned to leverage both the Rajinikanth brand and the festive holiday to maximize footfalls. The overseas pre-release performance, especially in the US, UK, and Gulf countries, reflects a strong Tamil and pan-Indian diaspora pull. If opening day numbers align with current booking trends, Coolie could surpass Rajinikanth’s own previous records, setting a new overseas benchmark for Indian cinema.
