Rajnikant’s much-awaited movie Coolie is all set to release on 14 August worldwide. It’s a Pan-India film with Nagarjuna with Shruti Hassan in the supporting cast and Aamir Khan in a guest role. The film will be dubbed and out in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.
Hritik Roshan’s War 2 also hit the silver screen on the same day and Junior NTR and Kiara Advani also star in the film. War 2 will be out in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. Junior NTR is a known actor down south and the film is expected to do good business.
About Coolie And War 2
Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and the film is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. The story is about Deva, played by Rajnikant, who is an aged gold smuggler trying to reunify his old team with mistic technology hidden in antique watches. The film has many twists and turns.
War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukherjee and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. Kabir( Hritik Roashan) works as a secret agent but he is blamed of cheating with the country. His former batchmate, Agent Vikram, played by Junior NTR, is given the responsibility of hunting him down.
Advance Booking
Advance Booking of both the movies is open. Coolie is doing well in advance bookings, and War 2 is slowly gaining momentum. According to reports Coolie’s booking stands at Rs. 14.25 Crores with block seats earning Rs. 20.41 Crores. Nearly 6 lakh tickets have been sold for Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi genre of the film.
War 2 has earned Rs. 2.08 Crores in advance booking and block seats earnings Rs. 5.08 Crores. Hritik’s movie has sold around 57000 tickets in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. Advance booking clearly shows that Coolie has an edge over War 2, but if the film is good, it will definitely gain momentum.
Both the films have the advantage of a long weekend as they are releasing on Thursday, Friday is Independence Day, Saturday is Janmasthmi, and Sunday is a regular holiday. As die-hard Indian movie fans, we hope both the films do well at the box office, especially since this year has been an average year for the Indian film industry. With Rajni sir’s huge fan following and Hritik’s charm, we hope both the films break records at the box office.
