Cool, directed by Lokesh Kanagarj and starring Rajinikanth, had a record weekend of Rs 227.25 crore. Not only this, it also made a record of Rs 375 crore to Kollywood Global Opening. While the weekend was record-breaking, the number was under little expectations, given how big the film was. Depending on the initial day, the number of weekends should have been Rs 250 crore in India and more than Rs 400 crore worldwide.
Cool faults by earning only Rs 12 crore on 1 Monday
The mixed word of the mouth took a toll on the film Lokesh Kanagarj. After already slipping weekends, the film grossed just Rs 12 crore in 6 days. The number is 80 percent below Independence Day on Friday and it is worrying. If the film continues in this way, the gross India final of Rs 300 crore may be a struggle. In addition, this would mean that it will be grossly impossible to Rs 500 crore worldwide, as the cool can do the most at the international box office based on its current trend, which is USD 21 million (gross of Rs 183 crore).
The collection in Tamil Nadu will end under good bad ugly. Half of what the jailer did in the collection 2023 in Kerala will end. In the extraordinary Karnataka and early weekends of the film, the APTS collection should ensure that the film also breaks down or at least close to it.
The day is less as a gross collection of Wise India
| Day | India gross collection |
|---|---|
| Thursday | 75.50 crores |
| Friday | 63.25 crores |
| Saturday | 47 crores rupees |
| sunday | 41.50 crores |
| monday | 12 crores rupees |
| Total | 239.25 crores gross in 5 days |
Cool will end as one of the top 5 most grossing Kollywood films worldwide, but the final result will be seen as weak
Despite cool, record-breaking early collections and being a film, which will definitely be part of the top 5 highest grossing Tamil films at the box office worldwide, will be seen as a weak because expectations were of a record grosser. The Tamil industry will have to wait for the jailer 2 or jana newgan to actually start its potential again.
