Rajinikanth’s latest outing Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, continues its triumphant run in Tamil Nadu, with Chennai’s iconic Vettri Theatres proudly announcing that the film has entered the coveted blockbuster footfall category. The theatre, helmed by proprietor Rakesh Gowthaman, confirmed that Coolie has sold over 40,000 tickets in just 2.5 weeks, marking a phenomenal milestone.
The announcement was made through Vettri Theatres’ official social media handles, where Rakesh Gowthaman expressed his excitement over the film’s performance. “End of 2.5 weeks, Coolie makes it to the blockbuster footfall category of Vettri, which is 40,000 ticket sales,” he posted, tagging production giant Sun Pictures. This remarkable achievement comes despite strict protocols being followed at the venue, underscoring the unwavering fan frenzy surrounding Rajinikanth’s films.
Earlier, by mid-August, Vettri had already reported 25,000 tickets booked, with the film quickly progressing towards its blockbuster threshold. Within just days, the momentum carried Coolie past the 40,000 mark, proving that Superstar Rajinikanth continues to dominate the box office with unmatched charisma.
Adding to the film’s aura, Vettri Theatres also highlighted that Coolie received an “A” certificate, restricting viewership to adults above 18 years. Yet, the restriction did not deter audiences, as the film’s mass appeal and Rajinikanth’s screen presence translated into packed shows and celebratory atmospheres.
Massive posters, cut-outs, and fan celebrations continue to adorn Vettri’s premises, echoing the excitement among the Thalaivar’s devoted fanbase. With the film’s collections holding strong, industry trackers predict that Coolie will extend its victorious run well beyond the coming weeks, further cementing Rajinikanth’s legacy as Tamil cinema’s undisputed Superstar.
