With both films slated to release on August 14, 2025, fans are caught in a high-octane tug-of-war
August 14, 2025 will see two highly anticipated potential blockbusters clash for box office dominance: Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' versus Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR starrer 'War 2'.
With “India’s greatest villain” Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) going rogue after 'War', the second film sees a “lethal” Special Units Officer Agent Vikram (Jr NTR) aim to take him down.
In 'Coolie', ageing gold smuggler Deva (Rajinikanth) is out on a relentless “quest for vengeance” since youth—a journey set to change him forever.
The Lokesh Kanagaraj-directed 'Coolie' is set to be Rajinikanth's 171st film, and features the veteran actor sporting a stylish, rugged look.
'War 2', on the other hand, is the highly anticipated sixth installment of Yash Raj Films' (YRF) ambitious Spy Universe.
'Coolie' had taken a big lead in North America over 'War 2' just 3 days before its release, selling 73,228 tickets for both the Tamil and Telugu versions, with the total advance currently at $1.86M from 500 locations and 1565 shows.
'War 2' has sold 16226 tickets, with the total advance currently at $435,000 from 763 locations and 1977 shows.
Though 'Coolie' currently has the lead over 'War 2', this may change over the next few days, as the two giants prepare to battle at the box office.
