The box office battle for Independence Day is getting intense, with Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' taking the lead in advance ticket sales over Hrithik Roshan and NTR's 'War 2.'
Both movies are dropping on August 14, and early numbers hint at an exciting weekend for fans.
Coolie has crossed the whopping 100 crore in pre-sales based on trade reports, and the shows are still not underway. The Tamil version really powers the film, and the Telugu one is getting great feedback too. There's a nice buzz around the Hindi version.
'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has an impressive cast that includes Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Aamir Khan.
On the other hand, War 2 features Hrithik Roshan, NTR, Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor, and it's still a big player in the Hindi-speaking regions.
Ayan Mukerji's film saw a boost in ticket sales once theaters in the Telugu states jumped on board and crossed 30 Cr gross in worldwide pre-sales, but it's still way behind Coolie's strong performance in Tamil markets.
If the talks go well tomorrow, the sequel to War could totally crush it at the box office thanks to the huge North Indian audience. Even Coolie can mint big numbers with a decent talk, as it has already gathered massive hype.

Let's wait and watch which film will dominate the other, or both score superbly with their target audiences.
