Coolie's premiere collections shall be over 2.5 million and combined with the opening day, it could be USD 3 million or more. This is despite releasing alongside a giant film like War 2. If the film gets a good theatrical reception, it will not just emerge as the highest grossing Kollywood film in North America, but it will also breach the USD 10 million mark.

This is his 50th year in films and Lokesh Kanagaraj has made sure that the golden jubilee celebrations are memorable.
