Top 10 Biggest Indian Openers At The Worldwide Box Office: Rajinikanth's Coolie Takes 7th Spot

Chennai, August 16 - In the opening day box office battle, superstar Rajinikanth has officially entered the all-time top 10 list with his latest blockbuster Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Released on August 14, the gangster action drama stormed the global box office with a record-breaking opening for a Tamil film, cementing Thalaivar's dominance even in the era of pan-India cinema. The race for the biggest Indian opener has grown fierce over the years. It all began with SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), which not only redefined Indian box office history but also became the first Indian film to cross 100 crore and 200 crore worldwide on day one. The director later broke his own record with RRR (2022), which took global openings to another level. In 2024, Indian cinema scaled unprecedented heights when Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 – The Rule shook the industry with a 275 crore worldwide opening, almost touching the (still) unthinkable 300 crore mark. While Coolie didn't break into the top five, it still paved its path to history, delivering the biggest-ever Tamil cinema opening and ranking among the Top 10 Biggest Indian Openers of All Time.

The Tamil cinema too is making long strides with 2 films in the list, while Hindi and Kannada cinema have 1 film each among the top openers. Looking ahead, the list may undergo a major shakeup with several upcoming juggernauts in the making. From Prabhas' Spirit, Fauji, The Raja Saab, Salaar 2, and Kalki 2 to Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana, Animal Park, and Dhoom 4, Shah Rukh Khan's King, Allu Arjun's AA22, SS Rajamouli's Gen63 (with Mahesh Babu), Yash's Toxic, Jr. NTR's Dragon, Rajinikanth's Jailer 2, and Vijay's Jana Nayagan, all these films carry the potential to rewrite box office history yet again.

Chennai, August 13 - Superstar Rajinikanth's gangster action drama Coolie is yet to hit the big screen, and even before that, it has shattered the opening day record for an Indian movie of 2025 at the worldwide box office by beating Ram Charan's Game Changer. ## Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie has smashed over 80+ crores in advance bookings collection with still a day left, for the opening day, which is enough to eclipse Ram Charan's Game Changer, which debuted earlier this year with an 80 crore worldwide opening. ## Coolie has locked in over 35 crore gross in India and more than 45 crore overseas so far for the opening day, marching towards 100 crores advance booking gross at the end of the day. For the opening weekend, the film has already crossed 100 crores bookings, which is the highest of the year and one of the highest of all-time. ## Coolie is produced by Sun Pictures and is set to release on August 14, taking advantage of the extended Independence Day weekend, despite clashing with Yash Raj Films' War 2. The combination of Rajinikanth’s unmatched star power, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action-packed storytelling, and a holiday release is expected to give Coolie a record-breaking opening for a Tamil title. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Daaku Maharaaj' Second Day; 'Game Changer' Fourth Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, January 13 - Telugu veteran Nandamuri Balakrishna's action drama Daaku Maharaaj exceeded expectations on its first to score over 30 crores gross at the domestic box office, proving to be the second biggest opener for the actor. ## On the second day, the film is seeing a good hold as early estimates suggest the collection in the range of 13-15 crores gross in Telugu states, dropping around 50% from Sunday. Overall, Daaku Maharaj is expected to score 15-17 crores gross collection on Monday. ## Daaku Maharaj's total domestic collection after 2 days is around 45+ crores gross, which is fantastic ahead of the long holiday Pongal period. The movie is likely to storm the box office over the next couple of days and will look to go past the 100 crores gross mark during this period. ## On the other hand, superstar Ram Charan's political action drama Game Changer has plummeted further on Monday as India gross is expected to be in the range of 10 crores gross, as per estimates. In Telugu states, it is likely to earn 6-7 crores gross on its 4th day. ## The Hindi version of the film, which did decently in the first weekend, witnessed a big drop on Monday to score around 1.50-1.75 crores net collection. The movie has been disappointing so far with poor trends at the box office, and to cover the lost ground, it has the next couple of days of the Pongal/Sankranthi holidays. The total domestic collection of the movie is around 115 crores gross after 4 days. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Game Changer' Third Day Early Estimates

Hyderabad, January 12 - Superstar Ram Charan's political action drama Game Changer has an underwhelming first weekend at the domestic box office where the movie failed to score any growth on Sunday owing to stiff competition and mixed to negative word of mouth. ## According to the early estimates, Game Changer has minted a disappointing around 8 crore gross in Telugu states on Sunday, dropping around 35% from Saturday. In other Southern states, the movie has scored an estimated 3 crore gross. ## The Hindi version is holding well, owing to the better audience reception, and is proving to be the only saving grace for the movie so far. On Sunday, the dubbed version is witnessing a slight jump to collect an estimated 7.50-8 crores net collection. ## Overall, Game Changer is expected to gross 20-21 crores on Sunday with a drop of around 20%. The total domestic collection has crossed 100 crores gross at around 106+ crores. The drop over the weekend means the movie is facing rejection outside the Hindi market and once the holiday period is over, it will find extremely difficult to sustain at the box office. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Game Changer' Second Day Early Estimates

Hyderabad, January 11 - Telugu superstar Ram Charan's political action drama Game Changer, which was released on January 10, took a good start at the domestic box office with over 60 crores gross considering the mixed word of mouth, though it failed to meet the expectations. ## On its second day (first Saturday), the Shankar's directorial venture is witnessing a drop of over 50% which is a bit harsh even by the standards of any big Telugu film which tend to drop after the opening day. The word-of-mouth effect can be seen in day 2's collection, especially in South Indian states. ## According to the early estimates, GC is expected to gross around 13-15 crores in Telugu states, dropping over 60% from the opening day. In Karnataka, the film also dropped by around 50% for an estimated 2.25 crores gross, while in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, it is expected to gross around 2-2.25 crores on the second day. ## The Hindi version of the film surprised on the first day and it remained the best-performing on Saturday with little to no drop as it minted around 7-7.50 crores net on day 2. Overall, Game Changer is expected to gross in the range of 25-28 crores on Saturday, pushing the total domestic gross to around 86+ crores in 2 days. ## The film has a big couple of days over the Sankranthi festival to score at the box office. It needs to be seen how it performs once the holiday period is over. ## Stay tuned...
