The Indian film industry is currently witnessing a high-stakes box office clash between two massive releases—Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, and War 2, led by Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. Both films have performed remarkably in their respective markets, but on the global front, Coolie is maintaining a strong lead in total worldwide collections.
As of Day 11 (August 24, 2025), estimates indicate that Coolie has significantly outpaced War 2 globally, driven by an extraordinary response from Tamil-speaking regions and overseas markets.
Which Film Is Leading the Worldwide Box Office?
Based on available industry figures, Coolie has grossed approximately ₹447–₹468 crore worldwide within 11 days of release. The film’s strong performance in both domestic and international markets has cemented its position as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025.
Coolie saw an explosive opening of ₹65 crore on Day 1 and continued its robust run with consistent double-digit figures over the first weekend. Its performance in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and overseas territories has been particularly impressive. Day 11 added another ₹4.72 crore (India net), with solid occupancy across key cities like Chennai, Guntur, and Trichy.
In contrast, War 2 has achieved an estimated ₹323–₹330 crore in worldwide gross collections. The film began with a strong ₹52 crore India net on opening day and closed its first week with over ₹204 crore domestically. Despite high expectations, its second-week numbers, including Day 11’s ₹2.59 crore (India net), suggest a visible slowdown in both Hindi-speaking and international markets.
Regional Strength and Overseas Impact
Coolie continues to dominate Tamil Nadu and Telugu circuits, while making deep inroads internationally, especially in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and select North American markets.
War 2 holds better in the Hindi belt but trails significantly in overseas collection when compared to Coolie. Its core audience in Tier 1 cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore remains active, but not enough to close the global gap.
With Day 11 collections in place, Coolie now leads War 2 by a margin of approximately ₹120–₹140 crore globally. The film’s multilingual release and strong regional support appear to be driving its international success.
Lead Actor Showdown: Rajinikanth vs Hrithik Roshan vs Jr. NTR
Rajinikanth’s star power continues to draw massive crowds, especially in Tamil-speaking regions and overseas Tamil diaspora.
Hrithik Roshan, coming off hits like Fighter and War, still commands a solid audience but may not have achieved the widespread pull seen with Coolie.
Jr. NTR, riding the wave of RRR, adds regional strength to War 2 but the overall appeal is skewed more toward the domestic market.
With both films still running in theatres, final tallies may shift slightly, but the current trend clearly places Coolie ahead in the global earnings chart.
