Mumbai: Coolie achieved the fastest century milestone at the box office by crossing ₹100 crores in just two days following its Independence Day release on August 14.
The highly anticipated film generated nationwide excitement across Indian theatres, establishing itself as one of this year’s most anticipated releases. Coolie box office performance demonstrated exceptional audience response during the Independence Day weekend, capitalising on the extended holiday period.
The film collected ₹65 crores on its opening day, followed by ₹54.75 crores on the second day, pushing its total past the 100-crore mark. This achievement made Coolie the year’s fastest film to reach the century milestone at the Indian box office.
Coolie Box Office Shows Decline on Third Day Despite Strong Total
Day three witnessed a collection drop to ₹31.21 crores, representing a decrease from both previous days’ earnings. However, the reduced third-day performance still contributed to Coolie’s impressive overall collection, pushing the film past the ₹150-crore milestone.
According to Sacnilk data, the film’s total collection reached ₹150.96 crores after three days of theatrical release. The Coolie box office trajectory reflected typical weekend patterns where Saturday collections often show variations compared to opening day enthusiasm and Friday’s sustained momentum.
Industry analysts noted that despite the third-day decline, Coolie maintained strong performance indicators for a film released during the competitive Independence Day slot. The 150-crore achievement in three days positioned the film among the significant commercial successes of the current year.
The Independence Day release strategy proved effective for Coolie, as audiences demonstrated sustained interest throughout the extended weekend. The film’s ability to cross major collection milestones quickly established its commercial viability and audience appeal across diverse markets nationwide.
