Post-Vikram, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has become a known face among the Hindi audience. His Leo with Thalapathy Vijay did decent business in the Hindi market despite not being released in national cinema chains. This time, his film had a strong attraction like Aamir Khan and the support of big cinema chains, but it couldn’t make it big.
Coolie (Hindi) closing collection at the Indian box office
Even in a clash with War 2, Coolie (Hindi) opened at 4.5 crores. During the 4-day opening weekend, it did a business of 19.7 crores, which was a healthy number. However, due to mixed word-of-mouth, it couldn’t turn a healthy start into a winning momentum. There was some stability during weekdays, but the numbers weren’t impressive.
Coolie (Hindi) maintained a steady pace at lower levels and eventually, after spending four weeks in theatres, it concluded its run at the Indian box office. It wrapped up at an estimated 37.25 crore net. It’s a decent sum, but it should have hit the 50 crore mark.
With a sum of 37.25 crore net, the Hindi version has ended its theatrical run with an average verdict.
