The Coolie vs War 2 clash is one of the most high profile clashes of all time among Indian movies. Both mega-budgeted pan-India biggies, locked horns on 14th August, 2025 and we have a clear favourite for the opening day in India. Coolie grossed Rs 76.50 crore as compared to War 2's 58.50 crore. Coolie's numbers are exceptional while War 2's numbers are strictly ordinary. In an ideal scenario, War 2 should have had a bigger opening than Coolie but Coolie simply took it away, once the prebookings started.
