Adding to that, the ₹157.45 crore from overseas, the film’s total worldwide collection for five days stands at ₹403 crore.This means that Coolie is officially one of the highest-grossing films in Rajinikanth’s career. 2.0 (2018), with its ₹691 crore collection, holds the top spot, followed by Jailer’s (2023) ₹604.5 crore lifetime haul.
