Hit Or Flop
The big question everyone is asking is – Rajnikant Coolie Hit Or Flop?
The answer depends on whether the film can recover its massive ₹400 crore budget. In just four days, Coolie has already collected ₹260 crore worldwide gross. If the film continues strongly for two more weeks, it will easily cross the budget and enter the hit category.

Budget
The budget of Coolie is ₹400 crore, making it one of the most expensive films in Indian cinema history. This includes production cost, star salaries, sets, and marketing expenses.
Because of this high budget, the film needs to collect at least ₹800 crore worldwide to be declared a blockbuster.
But with Rajnikant’s brand power, the film already looks safe. If the momentum continues, Coolie will be remembered as one of the biggest hits of 2025.
