Fans in Kerala will get a head start, with the first shows scheduled as early as 6:00 AM, while theatres in Tamil Nadu will begin screening the film from 9:00 AM on release day.

The early morning showtimes are a testament to the massive fanbase Rajinikanth commands, especially in Kerala, where his films often witness near-festival-like celebrations.

In Tamil Nadu, the 9 AM start follows the state’s long-standing regulations for film screenings but hasn’t dampened enthusiasm one bit. Major cinema chains in Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, and Trichy are witnessing record-breaking pre-sales. Industry insiders predict Coolie could set new day-one box office records, particularly with its combination of vintage Rajini charm and high-octane action sequences.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie marks a return to Rajinikanth’s mass action avatar, and fans have been eagerly awaiting this collaboration. The teaser, which showcased the actor in a rugged look wielding a sickle, has already racked up millions of views online, fuelling the hype.
With shows starting at dawn and audiences ready to queue up long before sunrise, Coolie is poised to be more than just a film—it’s turning into a celebration. The stage is set, the bookings are roaring, and South India is all set to witness Thalaivar mania unfold once again.
