Coolie: The Rajinikanth Blockbuster That’s a National Event
Rajinikanth’s latest film, Coolie, is not just another big-budget release—it’s a cultural phenomenon that has set a new benchmark for movie celebrations in India and beyond. As Coolie premieres worldwide on August 14, 2025, marking the superstar’s 50th year in cinema, the excitement has turned contagious among fans, corporations, and even overseas businesses.
Coolie Fever: Offices Join the Party—Free Tickets and Holidays
Companies Make History By Turning Coolie Release Into a Holiday
Gone are the days when fans would merely queue up at dawn for the first show. This year, several Indian and Singaporean companies have literally stopped work, declaring a paid holiday for employees to enjoy Coolie’s first-day-first-show. Some of the most notable celebrations include:
- Uno Aqua Care (India): The Madurai-based company officially declared August 14 a holiday across all branches—including Chennai, Bangalore, Trichy, and more—citing the film’s release and Rajinikanth’s 50th year in films. Employees didn’t just get time off; they were also given free movie tickets, and the company conducted donations to orphanages and old-age homes as a tribute to the superstar’s legacy.
- Farmer Constructions PTE LTD (Singapore): In a first for the Tamil diaspora, this construction firm offered a paid holiday and free Coolie tickets to its Tamil workers. Every employee also received S$30 for food and beverage during the outing—an unprecedented move for a film release celebration overseas.
- SB Mart PTE LTD (Singapore): This prominent convenience store notified customers it would close for four hours on August 14 so employees could attend the movie together.
Social Media Celebrations and Team Outings
Fans shared their excitement on LinkedIn and WhatsApp, describing how whole workplace teams planned movie outings together after simple leave requests escalated into full-blown team events. Such group viewing parties are quickly becoming the norm.
Box Office Tsunami: Advance Sales and Overseas Records
₹100 Crore in Advance Bookings—A Rajini Special
The incredible anticipation for Coolie is visible in numbers.

In India alone, over ₹50 crore worth of tickets were sold ahead of release, while overseas bookings soared past ₹45 crore for opening day.
- Early screenings began as soon as 6am in Kerala and Karnataka. In Tamil Nadu, the first show started at 9am due to regulations.
- Box office analysts predict Coolie’s first-day worldwide gross between ₹150–175 crore, possibly making it the biggest Kollywood opening ever.
Highest Global Reach for a Tamil Movie
Coolie is releasing in multiple languages—Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada—and is set to premiere in over 100 countries worldwide. The film’s overseas rights have fetched record prices, setting new benchmarks for Tamil-language films.
50 Years of Rajinism: Charity, Contests, and Brand Buzz

- Charity Drives: Fans and corporate groups marked the release with community service—distributing sweets, food, and gifts to orphanages and the needy in celebration of Rajinikanth’s milestone year.
