Rajinikanth’s Coolie beats War 2 in advance booking, earns 20 crores vs 5 crores, big clash on Independence Day

Big clash on Independence Day
The weekend of 15th August is about to come and two big stars of Bollywood and South cinema have come face to face!
On one side is superstar Rajinikanth with his film “Coolie“, while on the other side is the pair of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR with “War 2”.
Seats are falling short in the theatres and fans are busy booking tickets for their favourite film!
Thalaiva’s magic works again
Rajinikanth’s magic is at its peak! According to commercial tracker Sacnilk, “Coolie” has rocked the advance booking itself.
The film has done a business of ₹20.39 crores so far, which is a great start for any film.
About 6 lakh tickets have already been sold in all languages! Thalaiva’s fans are not disappointing their hero this time too.
Did the Greek God fall behind?
On the other hand, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s mega action film “War 2” is not getting the expected response.
The film has collected only ₹5.78 crore in advance booking, which is much less than “Coolie” – not even one-third!
This is a bit surprising, because the first part of the “War” franchise was a superhit.
Advance booking for day1 at 11:50am today!#Coolie

Advance booking is open for 6000 shows and collected ₹23cr gross!#War2
Advance booking is open for 7000 shows and collected ₹4cr gross!
Means War2 booking is open for 1000 more shows than Coolie and still far behind.
This film…
Difference in number of shows too
Film critic KRK has shared an interesting statistic in his social media post.
According to him, “Coolie” has 6,000 shows and it has grossed ₹23 crore.
On the other hand, “War 2” has collected only ₹4 crore despite having more shows (7,000).
This shows that Rajinikanth’s stardom is still second to none!
What will happen next?
Now the question is, will “Coolie” maintain its lead even after release?
Or will “War 2” bounce back with its powerful action sequences and the pairing of two big stars?
The Independence Day weekend is long, and both films have a chance to do good business.
It’s an exciting time for all of us cinema lovers! Two big films clash and two big stardoms face off – a box office blast is guaranteed!
Summary:
“Coolie” vs “War 2” clash on Independence Day, Rajinikanth’s film earns ₹20.39 crores in advance booking while Hrithik-Jr NTR’s film is stuck at just ₹5.78 crores.
