This approximately 170-minute film is based on the story of a former coolie union leader who sets out on a mission to find the truth about his friend’s mysterious death. In this journey, he has to face a dangerous crime syndicate. The film’s screenplay maintains a great balance of action, emotion, and drama, which keeps the audience engaged throughout.
The film’s opening weekend was the second biggest weekend of Rajinikanth’s career. However, the collection has declined since Monday, which concerns the makers and trade experts. Despite this, the film is expected to increase its earnings further by taking advantage of the upcoming weekend and holidays, and can enter the 300 crore club.
At present, Coolie’s box office journey has been very strong, and all eyes will be on its performance in the coming days.
