A day before India’s 79th Independence Day, the nation saw an epic box office clash between Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR’s War 2. Despite tough competition – before the release for screens and now as the audience is divided, both films have managed to performed well. While each film earned over Rs 50 crore on it’s opening day, they are now inching closer to the Rs 200 crore mark with ease.

This takes the film totals after a 4-day weekend to Rs 194.25 Cr and Rs 173.60 Cr respectively.

As of now, the Rajinikanth-led multi-starrer is leading the box office race with a total margin of Rs 20.65 crore.

Coolie VS War 2 Reviews

Both films opened to mixed review. While some praised Coolie, others pointed out its shortcomings. Similarly, several moviegoers based the latest YRF Spy Universe film for its predictability while others showered it with love for its action. Bollywood Bubble gave both the Rajinikanth multi-starrer and the Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR starrer War 2 a 2-star rating.

While highlighting some positives, out reviewer wrote in their review, “War 2 had all the right ingredients on paper, but wasted two megastars, exotic locations, and the backing of YRF’s spy franchise. The weak writing, overblown action, and style-over-substance execution turn this potential blockbuster into a missed opportunity. It’s a shadow of the original War, with the hype far outpacing the final product. Watch it only if you’re a die-hard fan of Hrithik or NTR. Everyone else can wait for streaming.”

Talking about what works in Coolie, the reviewer wrote, “The attempt is commendable, despite the final result not living up to expectations.” They added in the review, “Coolie is a fun watch if you are heading to theatres to only watch Rajinikanth and experience his aura and swag. If you go in looking for content – or anything sensible, you will be deeply disappointed. Anirudh Ravichander’s soundtrack album is the only saving grace but not enough to redeem the film.”
