Coolie vs War 2: Clash of the Titans This I-Day

This Independence Day is set to witness one of the biggest box office clashes in recent Indian cinema. Putting all speculation to rest, Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited pan-India gangster drama Coolie has officially locked August 14, 2025, for its grand release—perfectly timed to leverage the Independence Day weekend.

With this announcement, trade circles are bracing for a colossal face-off, as Coolie will go head-to-head with the high-octane actioner War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR, which also hits theaters the same day.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Both films boast sky-high budgets, each reportedly crossing ₹500 crore. Coolie brings together a stellar cast including Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, with blockbuster director Lokesh Kanagaraj at the helm—known for his spotless track record.

Meanwhile, War 2 continues to generate buzz with its powerhouse lead duo and the high expectations following the success of War. As anticipation builds, fans are counting down to what promises to be an epic cinematic showdown.

Come August, it won’t just be a holiday weekend—it’ll be a box office battlefield.
