Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's film 'Coolie' had generated tremendous hype before its release, and it was expected to create a new record at the box office. In the initial days, the film did well, but due to average content, the audience's enthusiasm soon waned.
Entertainment: The Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj duo have always raised expectations of creating a buzz at the box office. 'Coolie', released with this expectation, attracted the attention of the audience from its opening weekend in the first week. However, due to mixed reactions regarding the film's content, its earnings at the box office declined in the second week. But on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, the film once again showed a surge in its earnings and felt the love of the audience.
How much did 'Coolie' earn on the 14th day?
In the first week of its release, 'Coolie' had made a शानदार collection of ₹229.65 crore. However, earnings started declining on weekdays in the second week. For example, the film recorded a collection of ₹5.85 crore on the 9th day, ₹10.5 crore on the 10th day, ₹11.35 crore on the 11th day, ₹3.25 crore on the 12th day, and ₹3.65 crore on the 13th day.
But on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, the audience heavily supported the film, and on its 14th day, i.e., Wednesday, the film achieved a collection of ₹4.50 crore. With this, the film's total earnings for 14 days reached ₹268.75 crore, which shows that the film is now rapidly moving towards the ₹300 crore mark.
The impact of Ganesh Chaturthi on the box office
Even though 'Coolie' had a शानदार opening, the average content caused some disappointment after the first week. However, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, the audience enthusiastically watched the film in theaters again, which improved its earnings. Trade analysts believe that the film's earnings may accelerate in the third weekend as well, and it may cross the ₹300 crore mark.
On the 14th day, 'Coolie' also faced competition from big-budget films. For example, it clashed with films like 'War 2'. But this Rajinikanth starrer gangster drama still maintained a good hold at the box office. The film's stable earnings during this period indicate that the audience is returning to theaters for Rajinikanth.
