Sun Pictures’ big-ticket action entertainer Coolie The Powerhouse, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring the legendary Rajinikanth, is creating a wave of excitement across India and overseas. The film, which is set for a grand worldwide release on August 14, 2025, has already made history by selling over 1.2 million tickets on the country’s leading ticket booking platform before release. This figure marks the highest ever for an Indian film in advance ticket sales, firmly establishing Coolie as one of the most anticipated cinematic events in recent memory.
The pre-release buzz has translated into significant revenue, with trade estimates suggesting that the film has crossed the ₹50 crore mark in advance bookings worldwide. This achievement is particularly impressive given that it has been reached days ahead of release, signaling a thunderous opening across multiple languages.
Coolie The Powerhouse: Nationwide and Global Momentum
Rajinikanth’s unmatched mass appeal is once again evident as Coolie The Powerhouse enjoys strong traction not only in Tamil and Telugu markets but also for its Hindi version. The film’s advance booking wave has swept across metropolitan cities, tier-two centers, and international territories. In North America, Coolie has already collected over USD 1.7 million in advance sales and is closing in on becoming the highest-grossing Tamil premiere in the region, just a short distance away from surpassing Kabali.
Reports from trade circles also indicate that the film’s global advance sales have crossed USD 2 million, setting it on course for one of the biggest Indian film openings in history. The response from overseas markets such as the Middle East, Singapore, and Malaysia further reinforces Coolie’s wide-reaching appeal.
