COOLIE NO 1 has scored very well on satellite as it clocked up 1 crore plus impressions on its premiere. If it holds in subsequent screenings, it will emerge a HIT film on satellite. The film also scored on OTT as it recorded the best numbers outside LAXMII for OTT premieres. The satellite numbers have followed a similar pattern showing its a similar audience as far as home viewing goes.

Like LAXMII, this film also saw huge negativity on social media and the media in general when it was released but even after all this, the audience still turned up to its first screening on satellite. The satellite results of LAXMII and COOLIE NO 1 again reiterates the importance of the box office as that is the actual results and not what is said.

The satellite numbers of COOLIE NO 1 are around 60% better than the last release of Varun Dhawan STREET DANCER which had a fair performance on satellite. COOLIE NO 1 also become one of the 25 odd films in the last five years to top the 1 crore impressions mark on its premiere.

The top premieres on television since the pandemic started in March 2020 are as follows. The numbers are impressions which are the number of television sets viewing the film.

1. Laxmii - 2,51,44,000

2. War - 2,12,25,000

3. Tanhaji: The unsung Warrior - 1,38,40,000

4. Baaghi 3 - 1,29,06,000

5. Coolie No 1 - 1,00,91,000

WAR was a 2019 release and the other four films - TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR, BAAGHI 3, LAXMII  and COOLIE NO 1 - are the only four successes in over one year when the pandemic hit.  Another film that can be noted as a minor success is KHUDA HAAFIZ while DIL BECHARA did well on OTT but tanked horribly on satellite.
