Rajinikanth's Coolie Overseas Advance Booking: Thalapathy Vijay's Leo Opening Day Record In Danger

Chennai, August 7 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj might just outdo himself at the overseas box office as his upcoming gangster action drama Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth, is threatening to outgross the opening day record of his previous blockbuster, Leo, which starred Thalapathy Vijay in the leading role. ## The Rajinikanth-starrer is among the most anticipated Indian movies of the year, and the overseas pre-sales are proof of it. With huge hype around it, Coolie is showing great momentum in pre-sales and has already grossed around 25 crores for the opening day (including premiere), and there are still a week left for the release. ## In North America alone, the premiere pre-sales of Coolie have crossed a staggering $1.5 million with 7 days to go, and the film is now within striking distance of beating Rajinikanth's own Kabali, which holds the current record for the biggest Tamil premiere day in the region with $1.92 million. The film is also showing impressive trends in other key markets such as the UK, Malaysia, Australia, and the UAE. ## The overseas pre-sales of Coolie are on par with Thalapathy Vijay's Leo at the same time, and if the momentum continues, the Rajinikanth-starrer could emerge as the biggest Tamil opener outside India, beating Leo, which took the opening of around 66 crores gross. ## There is a fight for the screens going on as Coolie is competing with Yash Raj Films' War 2, which releases on the same day. Despite that, the Tamil blockbuster has taken a significant lead over the Bollywood tentpole in overseas pre-sales. ## The big question now is whether Coolie can match or exceed Leo's global opening of 143 crore. With the domestic clash with Yash Raj Films' hugely anticipated spy action thriller War 2 expected to impact collections in India, all eyes are on the overseas box office, where Rajinikanth’s magnetic pull could once again rewrite records. ## Stay tuned...

Surprise Sleeper Hits of 2025: Low To Mid-Budget Films That Conquered the Indian Box Office

Mumbai, August 7 - The year 2025 has been full of surprises at the Indian box office, and there are still five months left. Amid the frenzy of big-budget spectacles in 2025, a group of low to mid budget budget films stunned everyone by not only becoming critical successes but also box office winners. These films, spanning multiple languages and genres, didn't have the advantage of huge star power or massive marketing campaigns. Instead, they relied on storytelling, originality, and strong word-of-mouth to win hearts. ## Saiyaara (Hindi – Romantic Drama) - No one expected a debutant-led love story to become the biggest romantic hit in years, but Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's chemistry, Mohit Suri's direction, and Mithoon's soulful music turned Saiyaara into a cultural phenomenon. Made on a budget of around 60 crores, the movie started strongly and exploded eventually as the week progressed, becoming the first Hindi romantic film to cross 300 crores net. ## Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi – Animated Devotional Action Drama) - An animated retelling of the Narsimha avatar from the Puranas, Mahavatar Narsimha emerged as a surprise family favourite. Released with little hype and almost zero expectations, it tapped into the growing demand for Indian devotional content. Made on a budget of around 5-10 crores, the film's strong visuals and devotional storytelling led it to cross the 100 crore mark in just 10 days, making it the first Indian animated movie to achieve the feat. ## Dragon (Tamil – Coming-of-age Comedy Drama) - Starring Pradeep Ranganathan, Dragon is the biggest Tamil blockbuster of the year. It is a story about a college dropout who deceptively secures a high-paying job, but is forced to accept a major challenge to avoid being exposed. Made on a budget of around 20 crores, the movie went on to gross around 120 crores in India, as one of the highest-grossing Tamil titles of the year. ## Tourist Family (Tamil – Comedy Drama) - It is being hailed as one of the most heartwarming stories of the year. The story follows a Sri Lankan Tamil family who, following the Sri Lankan economic crisis, arrive in India in search of a better future. It was made on a budget of around 5 crores, and went on to gross over 70 crores in India, and became a big blockbuster. ## Here's a Look at The Top Sleeper Hits of 2025 That Conquered The Indian Box OfficeMovie TitleOriginal LanguageBudgetIndia GBOCVerdictSaiyaaraHindi₹ 60.00 Cr₹ 425 Cr* expectedSuper BlockbusterMahavatar NarsimhaHindi₹ 10.00 Cr₹ 200+ CrBlockbuster Dragon Tamil₹ 20.00 Cr₹ 119.00 CrBlockbusterTourist FamilyTamil₹ 5.00 Cr₹ 71.75 CrBlockbusterSu From SoKannada₹ 4.00 Cr₹ 75+ CrBlockbusterThalaivan ThalaiviiTamil₹ 25.00 Cr₹ 65.00 CrSuperhitAlappuzha GymkhanaMalayalam₹ 10.00 Cr₹ 50.60 CrSuperhitF1 MovieEnglish₹ - Cr₹ 115.00 CrSuperhit## Su From So (Kannada – Comedy Drama) - Set in the coastal village of Marlur linked to Someshwara, the story follows Ashoka, a carefree young man whose innocent crush spirals into rumours of possession by a ghost named Sulochana, upending village life through a cascade of comedic supernatural events. It is already the highest-grossing Kannada movie of the year with domestic gross collection of over 50 crores, against the budget of around 4 crores. ## Thalaivan Thalaivii (Tamil – Romantic Action Comedy) - Starring Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen, the film became another modest-budgeted Tamil box office hit of the year. It reportedly cost 25 crores the make, and it has already grossed around 60 crores domestically and is still going strong. ## Alappuzha Gymkhana (Malayalam – Sports Drama) - Directed by Khalid Rahman and starring Naslen among others, it is a story of a group of students, who, after failing exams, try entering college through sports quotas, picking boxing. They luck through district matches, but face uncertainty at higher competition levels. It was a success at the box office, grossing over 50 crores in India, against the budget of around 10 crores. ## F1 (Hollywood – Sports Drama) - Brad Pitt's F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski (of Top Gun: Maverick fame), was expected to perform well globally — but what surprised trade analysts was its exceptional run in India. Despite being a niche sports film centred on Formula 1 racing, F1 resonated with Indian audiences, thanks to sleek visuals, thrilling race sequences, and Brad Pitt's enduring star power. It grossed around 115 crores in India, emerging as one of the highest-grossing original Hollywood films. ## Stay tuned...

Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Becomes The Second Indian Film of 2025 To Top 500 Crore Worldwide, After Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava

Mumbai, August 6 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara has officially crossed 500 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office, becoming only the second Indian film of the year to do so, after Vicky Kaushal's historical action drama Chhaava. ## Directed by Mohit Suri, the film surpassed the milestone of 500 crores gross on its 19th day, becoming one of the fastest Indian titles to do so. The movie has been a sensational blockbuster, both domestically and overseas, leaving other newcomer films and romantic dramas far behind. ## In India, the Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda-starrer has grossed approximately 366 crores (304.60 crores net), while overseas collection is a remarkable 134 crores. The performance of Saiyaara in the international markets is among the all-time greatest and arguably the greatest for a newcomer-led Indian title. ## Saiyaara is still earning higher collections than its opening day at the international box office, and puts it on course to finish around 160 crores or more. It is sure to become the biggest Indian overseas grosser of the year (as of now), but how far it can go remains to be seen. ## It is the 16th Bollywood film and the 26th Indian title of all-time to cross 500 crores worldwide. For Yash Raj Films, this is its 5th movie in the 500 crores club, after Dhoom 3, Tiger Zinda Hai, Sultan, and Pathaan. ## Stay tuned...

Coolie Vs War 2: Rajinikanth-starrer To Dominate Overseas Box Office Against Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR's Spy Actioner

Mumbai, August 6 - The stage is set for one of the biggest box office clashes of the year as superstar Rajinikanth's gangster action drama Coolie gears up to take on Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's spy action thriller War 2 this Independence Day weekend. Both movies are scheduled to hit the big screen on August 14 in multiple languages. ## While both films are carrying tremendous buzz and fanfare, early trends suggest that the Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial Kollywood blockbuster is poised to dominate the overseas box office, outpacing its Bollywood competitor in pre-sales and audience anticipation across major international territories. ## According to early tracking data, Coolie has taken a solid lead in North America, where advance bookings have already crossed the $1 million mark ($1.25 million with 7 days to go), with significant momentum in Gulf countries, Malaysia, Singapore, and the UK, where it has already sold over 20K tickets, as well. Overall, pre-sales of Coolie have crossed $2 million overseas. ## The film marks director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s biggest release yet and showcases Rajinikanth in a vintage mass role that seems to have struck a chord with the global Tamil diaspora and general South Indian audience abroad. Meanwhile, War 2 is also showing healthy signs in international markets, but at a comparatively slower pace. ## For the North America premiere, the pre-sales are nearing $300K, as the momentum is expected to pick up as the release nears. Other territories are also showing a decent pace. War 2's appeal is strong, especially in Hindi-speaking territories and Telugu belts, due to star power and the franchise value, but Coolie's mass appeal and the Lokesh-Rajinikanth combo seem to be translating better into overseas footfalls. ## Industry insiders believe that Coolie could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films overseas, especially if the early reviews and word-of-mouth remain positive. With a superstar, a hit director, and a solid supporting cast, Coolie has all the ingredients to lead the charge internationally, while War 2 may find its strength more dominantly in the domestic Hindi and Telugu markets. ## Stay tuned...

Lokesh Kanagaraj Says Karthi Is the Reason for His Success As a Director, Promises Kaithi 2 Will Be a Huge Hit

Chennai, August 6 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is busy with the promotion of superstar Rajinikanth-fronted gangster action drama Coolie, one of the most awaited films of the year. As Lokesh navigates the excitement ahead of Coolie's release, the director is also looking forward to returning to his signature cinematic universe with the much-hyped sequel, Kaithi 2. ## During a recent interview, the filmmaker encountered a silly question when the interviewer asked him whether is regrets making Kaithi 2 after doing films with industry giants like Rajinikant, Vijay, and Kamal Haasan. Lokesh answered it sensibly while showing his huge admiration for actor Karthi, crediting him as the catalyst behind his rise as a successful director. ## "Karthi sir gave me my break. If I am here today, it's because of him. He trusted me when no one else would. Kaithi changed my life." The director reflected on how Kaithi (2019) became a turning point not just in his career but also in Tamil cinema, laying the foundation for the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). ## He added that Karthi's commitment, humility, and belief in his vision gave him the confidence to pursue bold storytelling styles. "Karthi never treated me like a newcomer. For me, he is a big star. He gave me complete freedom on Kaithi, and that faith still motivates me," Lokesh remarked. ## Lokesh Believes Kaithi 2 Will Be A Huge Hit ## As anticipation builds around the sequel Kaithi 2, Lokesh believes it will be one of his biggest hits. "Kaithi 2 will be a huge hit. I'm working very hard to make sure it lives up to the expectations. It will be bigger in scale, emotion, and action." He also confirmed that the script is nearing completion and that filming will begin after his current project with Rajinikanth (Coolie) wraps up. ## Kaithi 2 is the 4th film in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, after Kaithi Leo (2023), Vikram (2022), and Kaithi (2019). In one of the earlier interviews, Lokesh said that Kaithi 2 will be the peak LCU film in which characters from other films will have a crossover. It is expected to start rolling towards the end of this year and be released next year. ## Stay tuned...

Producer T. G. Vishwa Prasad Reveals Release Date Plans and The Possible Theatrical Runtime of Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab

Hyderabad, August 6 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted romantic horror-comedy The Raja Saab is among the most-anticipated Indian movies. Directed by Maruthi, the movie is expected to debut in cinemas worldwide on January 9, 2026, after reports stating it wouldn't be able to meet its December 5, 2025, deadline. ## Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the most bankable Pan-India stars, who can do wonders at the box office if the film is good enough, and considering this, the makers are taking utmost care with the film, be it its release date or the possible length. ## During a recent interview, producer TG Vishwa Prasad revealed the team's current release plan. He said that they are planning to release the movie on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranthi festive weekend. He also mentioned that Bollywood buyers are insisting on sticking with the December 5, 2025, release. ## The producer added that a few songs and some patchwork are yet to be completed as they are expecting to wrap the film by October. Apart from the release date plans, TG Vishwa Prasad also hinted at what could be the final theatrical runtime of The Raja Saab.## He revealed that director Maruthi has shot raw footage of 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the editing team is working on chopping and editing it down to about 2 hours and 45 minutes. It can be said that the final runtime of The Raja Saab will be around 165 minutes, and it might get stretched to around 3 hours. ## The Raja Saab might get a sequel to it, but as confirmed by the producer, it won't be a direct continuation and will explore a different story set in a multiverse-like concept. However, that is something which is unlikely to come anytime soon, if it is with Prabhas only, as he has several films in the pipeline. ## Produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, the film's plot revolves around a young man who sets his eyes on his ancestral property to ease him out of a cash crunch. It stars Prabhas in the lead role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), and Riddhi Kumar. ## Stay tuned...

Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR’s War 2 Joins Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan, Among Others in BookMyShow's 500K Interest Club; Becomes 7th Bollywood Film Overall

Mumbai, August 5 – The buzz around Yash Raj Films' highly anticipated spy action thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, is soaring as the film is getting nearer its release date, which is August 14. The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji, marking his debut Spy Universe film. ## Ahead of the grand worldwide release, War 2 has crossed the 500K interest mark on BookMyShow, India's leading ticketing platform. With this feat, War 2 becomes only the seventh Bollywood film to enter this elite club, joining Shah Rukh Khan's mega blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan, among other films. ## What makes this milestone even more impressive is that War 2 has reportedly achieved the 500K mark in record time. The excitement surrounding the YRF Spy Universe's next chapter — directed by Ayan Mukerji — is bolstered by the first-time on-screen face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Telugu superstar Jr. NTR, making it a rare pan-India event film. ## This latest achievement places War 2 among a prestigious list of high-profile releases. Prabhas-fronted Adipurush continues to lead the BookMyShow chart with 1.1 million interests, the only Bollywood film to hit a million interests on the platform. Adipurush, however, is billed as a bilingual film, in Hindi and Telugu. ## SRK's Jawan is the second in the list with 732K, followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (725K), Pathaan (722K), and Singham Again (644K). War 2 now joins Tiger 3 (526K) in the 500K+ club, reaffirming the film's blockbuster potential. Although BMS interest is not a box office guarantee, it does indicate the solid hype around a film. ## Despite some reports of a slow advance booking trend in the U.S., particularly for the Hindi version, the overall anticipation remains sky-high. With its Independence Day weekend release date set for August 14, 2025, War 2 is expected to dominate both the Indian and overseas box office charts as one of the biggest releases of the year. ## Stay tuned...

Jr. NTR Sends Billboards Under Hrithik Roshan's House As The Duo Engage in Fun Banter on X/Twitter Ahead of War 2 Release

Mumbai, August 5 - As anticipation for Yash Raj Films' spy action thriller War 2 continues to grow, the film's lead stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR added to the excitement with a lighthearted and playful exchange (a part of promotion) on X (formerly Twitter) that left fans buzzing with joy. ## It all began when Hrithik Roshan fired the first shot with: "The war lines are drawn again. The name says it all. For every update and every reveal, this is where the action begins!" He explicitly backed #HrithikvsNTR. ## Jr. NTR playfully countered: "War 2 updates and exclusives? Hrithik sir, we discussed this! There's only one name to follow. Stay tuned, because this war is just getting started!" He insisted on #NTRvsHrithik. ## Hrithik responded with a light-hearted jab: "Haha, good one @tarak9999! But the name is #HrithikvsNTR – let's not complicate this, okay?" Jr. NTR doubled down: "Admit it, Hrithik sir, my version just sounds better. Let's call it a win for me already!" ## The banter continued on the next day, when a billboard was sent under Hrithik Roshan's house, boasting about Jr. NTR's victory in his face-off with his co-star in the movie. Hrithik took pictures with it and said on X: "Okay @tarak9999, now you've taken it too far by sending an actual BILLBOARD under my house! Alright, challenge accepted. Remember, you brought this upon yourself. #9DaysToWar2". ## Okay @tarak9999, now you've taken it too far by sending an actual BILLBOARD under my house! Alright, challenge accepted. Remember you brought this upon yourself. #9DaysToWar2 pic.twitter.com/WvjHiB3o3v— Hrithik Roshan (@iHrithik) August 5, 2025 ## While all these social media exchanges are part of YRF's promotional plans, this playful banter not only reflects the chemistry and camaraderie between the two stars but also ramps up the hype for their first on-screen collaboration. With Hrithik returning as Kabir and Jr. NTR entering YRF’s spy universe as a formidable new character, War 2 is shaping up to be one of the most explosive cinematic clashes in Indian cinema. ## Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead alongside Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor in key roles. The film is scheduled to release on August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. ## Stay tuned...
