  • By Day 8, Coolie added an estimated ₹6.25 crore in India to reach roughly ₹229.75 crore, maintaining a clear lead, according to Sacnilk-tracked trade figures.
  • War 2 entered the ₹200 crore domestic club by Day 8 and reached about ₹208 crore on Day 9 after adding roughly ₹4 crore on its second Friday, per early estimates.
  • Globally, Coolie surpassed ₹400 crore within its first week, while War 2 crossed ₹300 crore worldwide by Day 9 after trending near ₹300 crore at the week-one mark.
