Avid Fans of Coolie in Motion: Breaking Barriers for Premature Viewings of Rajnikanth's Films
Rajinikanth's latest film, Coolie, is not just a movie—it's an event. Fans from across India and beyond are traveling great distances for early-morning screenings, creating a cultural phenomenon that's captivating the nation.
The demand for Coolie tickets has reached unprecedented heights, with fans rushing to secure seats as soon as they become available. This high demand is a result of Rajinikanth's immense star power and popularity, driving massive fan anticipation and enthusiasm.
Rajinikanth enjoys legendary status, and his fans are eager to witness his latest on-screen adventure. The advance ticket sales for Coolie were remarkable, breaking records in India and overseas, particularly in North America where it shattered premiere-day box office records for Tamil films, generating millions in advance revenue.
The film's director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, is also a significant factor in the hype surrounding Coolie. His reputation and the high expectations he raised have motivated fans to book tickets early.
Coolie opened with a staggering ₹65 crore collection on the first day and rapidly amassed over ₹230 crore within days, reflecting high viewer turnout shortly after release. The strong opening day and weekend box office performance have solidified Coolie's position as a blockbuster.
Despite competition from other big films like "War 2," Coolie has led box office collections, especially in overseas markets, due to Rajinikanth’s wide international appeal, particularly among Tamil diaspora communities.
However, the black market has a tight grip on Coolie ticket sales, causing tickets to sell out almost immediately upon booking opening. Fans in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Bengaluru are crossing state borders to attend the earliest screenings, and tickets are being sold for exorbitant prices. In Bengaluru, multiplexes are charging Rs 2,000 for Coolie tickets, while in Chennai, FDFS tickets are being sold for up to Rs 4,500.
In some cases, single-screen theaters in Chennai and Mumbai are charging above government price caps for Coolie tickets. A staff member in Pollachi was even filmed violating Tamil Nadu's regulations by selling FDFS tickets for Rs 400.
The box office will reveal if Coolie will cross the Rs. 600 crore mark, which could break Jailer's record. Trade analysts predict a Rs. 150 crore+ opening day for Coolie, a figure that would be a testament to the film's success.
Despite the challenges in securing tickets, fans remain optimistic. Fan Prabakar, who lives in Chennai, is unable to find tickets and faces the choice of paying high black-market rates or waiting for regular prices. However, his determination to see the film is a testament to the power of Rajinikanth's magic, as indicated by the houseful signs and thunderous cheers in theaters.
Lokesh Kanagaraj has teased a big surprise for viewers in response to fan theories about a time-travel element in the film, adding to the excitement. Companies in Singapore are even providing paid leave, free tickets, and food allowance for FDFS of Coolie, demonstrating the film's global impact.
In conclusion, Coolie is more than just a movie—it's a cultural phenomenon. The high demand, record-breaking ticket prices, and fans driving across state lines are testament to Rajinikanth's enduring appeal and the film's advance sales momentum. Only time will tell if Coolie will break box office records, but one thing is certain—the film has already captured the hearts of millions.
