Coolie fever hits Kerala: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film makes Rs 3 crore just in 5 hours of booking
Rajinikanth starrer Coolie is all set to hit the theatres on August 14, during the Independence Day weekend. The makers have opened the ticket window and has registered a record-breaking sale.
Rajinikanth's next big movie, Coolie, directed by blockbuster director Lokesh Kanagaraj, is already shattering records before it even comes out. The movie has already earned more than Rs 3 crore in Kerala alone, thanks to an impressive pre-release surge that occurred just five hours after advance tickets went on sale.

Adding to the excitement is the fact that bookings in other important areas, such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, and North India, haven't opened yet. Trade experts say that if sales start worldwide, there would be a record-breaking opening because Kerala has already sold so many units in just a few hours.
Coolie is a high-octane action drama that takes place all around India. It stars Rajinikanth and has huge names like Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan.

The combination of Rajini's unique screen presence and Lokesh Kanagaraj's ability to develop stories that appeal to a wide audience is making people more excited than ever.

War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani and is directed by Ayan Mukerji, will be in theatres at the same time as the movie. But if Kerala's exciting response is any sign, Coolie isn't just getting ready for a battle; it's going to change the history of Indian box office sales.
