'Coolie': Rajinikanth returns with an ‘A' certified after 36 years, A recap of Superstar's previous ‘A' rated films
The makers have officially announced that the film 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring superstar Rajinikanth, has now received an 'A' (Adults Only) certificate after being reviewed by the censor board. As a result, fans expect the impact of fight scenes and violence to be high. It is said that this 'A' certificate was given to 'Coolie' without making any concessions, and to preserve the overall action of the film. Here's a closer look at it. Rajinikanth films that earned an 'A' certificate While most of Rajinikanth's films have been given a U/A certificate, it is a rarity for his films to be given an 'A' certificate. Previously, Rajinikanth's films such as 'Pudukkavidhai' (1982), 'Ranga' (1982), 'Naan Sigappu Manithan' (1985), and 'Urkavalan' (1987) have also received an 'A' certificate. The last film of the actor to receive an 'A' certificate was 'Siva', released in 1989, and this was even before Shah Rukh Khan made his cinema debut. The fact that 'Coolie' is being released as a complete 'A' film after 36 years has created great excitement and nostalgia among fans. Makers stand by the bold content Since the impact of the story can only be felt by fully packing violence, emotion, and fight scenes without any deviation from the direction the story has taken, the makers have decided to release it with an 'A' certificate without making any changes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!)

Kingdom Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda starrer collects 44cr worldwide in 2 days
Telugu film Kingdom held moderately well on its second day at the Indian box office, grossing Rs. 9.50 crore approx. The two-day running total of the Vijay Deverakonda starrer is Rs. 27.75 crore approx. The film has collected another Rs. 16 crore (USD 1.85 million) overseas, giving it a worldwide gross of Rs. 43.75 crore. The film is expected to see a surge in business today and again on Sunday. If the growth on the weekend is good, it could aim for Rs. 55 crore extended weekend in India and Rs. 75 crore worldwide.

There are also dubbed versions, which can often lend a helping hand in case of higher investment, but they haven't done so. Tamil has managed some numbers, not enough to make a real impact, while Hindi is a washout. Overseas, the film did well on its North American premiere but hasn't sustained well with collections coming down on the following two days. The Territorial Breakdown for Kingdom is as follows:
