After a historic start at the worldwide box office, Rajinikanth’s Coolie witnessed a downturn and now, it is heading towards an underwhelming lifetime collection.

The Kollywood action thriller amassed a solid total during the four-day extended opening weekend despite a downward graph in collections.

Overseas, it has earned 177.15 crore gross so far, as per Sacnilk. Combining the Indian and overseas gross, the 18-day worldwide box office collection stands at 506.48 crore gross.
