The frenzy for Superstar Rajinikanth‘s upcoming film Coolie has officially begun. As advance bookings opened in single-screen theatres across Bengaluru, the film has created a storm, setting a new record and seeing ticket prices climb to extraordinary levels. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is set for a grand release on August 14.
The initial response from Bengaluru indicates that Coolie is poised for a monstrous opening, with fans rushing to grab first-day-first-show tickets for the action-comedy.
Record-Breaking Start And Soaring Ticket Prices
In a stunning display of star power, Coolie has shattered a significant pre-release record. The film achieved the fastest 10,000 ticket sales on the BookMyShow platform, reaching the milestone in an incredible 37 minutes across just 66 shows. This breaks the previous record held by the pan-India behemoth KGF: Chapter 2, which took 45 minutes to achieve the same feat. This early trend clearly establishes Coolie as one of the most awaited films of the year.
Adding to the buzz, ticket prices in single-screen theatres have skyrocketed. With the Karnataka state government’s proposed price cap of Rs 200 yet to be implemented, theatres are leveraging the massive demand. Tickets for the first day are being sold at prices ranging from Rs 250 to an eye-watering Rs 2,000. To manage the immense rush, theatres have scheduled shows for the Tamil and Telugu versions to begin as early as 6:30 AM.
Multiplex Bookings And Kannada Version In Focus
While single screens are witnessing a ticket-buying frenzy, fans are now eagerly awaiting the opening of bookings in multiplexes. The buzz suggests that multiplexes will start selling tickets late on August 10 or by August 11 at the latest, which is expected to push the advance booking numbers even higher.
There is also significant interest in the performance of the Kannada-dubbed version of Coolie. The film features popular Kannada actors Upendra and Rachita Ram in key roles, which is expected to draw the local audience. All eyes will be on whether the Kannada version can surpass the collections of previous dubbed hits in the state, such as Rajinikanth’s own Jailer or even the record-holder Pushpa 2.
