After Mrunal Thakur, Kareena Kapoor Khan gets trolled on the ..

Rajinikanth, as mighty as the name sounds, has a flame even bigger than his legend. Coolie has stormed the box office with a raging audience, making history not only in India but also in North America by surpassing the numbers set by Pa. Ranjith’s Kabali. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, this action-packed entertainer has now become the sixth-highest hit in the region, proving that when it’s Rajinikanth, charm knows no boundaries.

The premiere day ignited the excitement, raking in USD 3.04 million, and the momentum only grew. By the first day, the film had already collected USD 95,000, and the second day saw an additional USD 720,000 by 9 a.m. IST. This pushed the North America total to USD 4.67 million, comfortably overtaking Kabali’s nine-year-old record of USD 4.44 million.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature style fuels the magic. His blend of gritty, larger-than-life storytelling with a modern edge keeps younger audiences hooked while staying true to Rajinikanth’s superstar aura. Every action scene, every dramatic beat, hits just right.

Adding to the spectacle, the ensemble cast boasts Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Rachita Ram, with Bollywood icon Aamir Khan dropping in for a cameo. Lokesh’s vision positions Coolie not just as a Tamil blockbuster but as a cinematic event that transcends language and geography.

Experts believe this is only the beginning. With Rajinikanth’s massive fan following and the power of word of mouth, Coolie is set for a long theatrical journey overseas and might climb even higher on the all-time overseas Tamil box office charts.
