Coolie and War 2 filmmakers have not been getting the critical appreciation they expected, and the poor reviews have been evident in the films recent box office performance. Though the Rajinikanth-starrer and Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR led flicks were expected to have a major theatrical clash, many were left disappointed.
As per industry tracker Sacnilk, Ayan Mukerji’s action flick, War 2, finally broke into the Rs 200 crore club domestically, five days after its competition. The film collected Rs 4.71 crore on its eighth day of theatrical run, bringing the total collections to Rs 203.96 crore. On the same day, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie minted Rs 6.25 crore, with the film’s collections totalling to Rs 229.75 crore.
