The cinematic phenomenon that is Rajinikanth has once again proven his unparalleled star power. His latest film, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has achieved a monumental feat by officially joining the coveted ₹500-crore club at the worldwide box office. This remarkable milestone was reached in a blistering two-week period, cementing the film's status as a global blockbuster. The incredible success of Coolie is a testament to the enduring appeal of the superstar and the dynamic direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj.

A Global Box Office Dominance

The film's performance has been spectacular, with collections soaring in both domestic and international markets. In India, Coolie has grossed a formidable ₹309 crore, showcasing its massive draw on home turf. However, it's the film's overseas performance that has truly propelled it into the elite club. With an impressive collection of nearly ₹182 crore from international markets, the film's global tally now stands at a staggering ₹501 crore. This demonstrates the universal appeal of Rajinikanth and the film's ability to transcend geographical boundaries.

Surpassing Records: A New Benchmark for South Indian Cinema

This box office victory is not just a personal achievement for Rajinikanth, but a significant moment for South Indian cinema as a whole. With its new global total, Coolie has surpassed the lifetime earnings of the highly acclaimed Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1, which had a worldwide gross of ₹488 crore. This achievement solidifies Coolie's position among the top 10 highest-grossing South films of all time. This success further highlights the growing influence and global market for South Indian productions.

The Next Target: A Race to the Top

While the film has already shattered records, the journey for Coolie is not over. The film has now set its sights on climbing even higher on the list of all-time highest-grossing Indian films. Its next targets are the collections of three major films: Saiyaara (₹568 crore), Padmaavat (₹585 crore), and Sanju (₹588 crore). The coming days and weeks will be a crucial test of the film's staying power at the box office. If it continues to maintain momentum, Coolie could very well secure an even higher rank among India's most successful films. The battle for box office supremacy is on, and Coolie is ready to compete.
