Coolie

🎬 First Half - Slow paced, but still engaging. Not boring.

🔥 Second Half - Filled with twists, unexpected scenes, and a powerful climax!

✨ Performances:

Superstar Rajinikanth - Outstanding! He proves again why he's a legend 👑

King Nagarjuna - Nailed his role perfectly 💥

Soubin Shahir - Crucial role, performed brilliantly 👌

Sathyaraj Sir - Solid performance 🙌

Shruti Haasan - Did justice to her role 👍

Upendra - Grand entry + strong BGM 💯

Anirudh - BGM was good, but just okay compared to his usual

🎥 Direction - Lokesh Kanagaraj Good movie overall, though not his signature "touch." Still worth a watch!

🤔 Aamir Khan's Role - Felt underpowered, but he did well with what was given.

📌 Overall: A complete Superstar Rajinikanth movie - engaging, entertaining, and never boring. Best enjoyed with zero expectations.

Honestly, the story feels pretty outdated - some bits work, some don't, but nothing really fresh. The pacing is flat, the narration drags on forever, and the writing just doesn't have that spark.

Rajinikanth is fine, but nowhere near his peak form. Nagarjuna? Totally wasted potential. The rest of the cast... well, let's just say they didn't leave much of an impression.

Music hits okay in a few scenes, but overall nothing that sticks in your head. Cinematography is meh - not bad, not wow. Sets are passable, but nothing grand. Lokesh's direction is probably the biggest letdown... feels like he just wasn't in the zone for this one.

End of the day? Save your time - not worth the watch unless you're a diehard fan who just has to see everything.

Coolie is the perfect commercial action movie of 2025. It's full of mass moments, powerful heroism, and total popcorn entertainment. This film gives fans exactly what they expect and keeps the energy high from start to finish. Don't waste time on negative reviews - just watch and enjoy the ride! 💥💥💥💥

Parts of it felt like it was trying to be Vikram, then there were parts where it looked like it was trying to be Jailer; suffice to say, it didn't feel like it had any identity of its own. The way it began felt very similar to the flow of the first half of Vikram, with the investigation of a death and stuff surrounding it. The main difference is that it's the Superstar himself doing the investigation. It didn't work as much as Vikram, but it still made you feel like there's something more, which makes you wait for the rest of the movie. But then the rest was just a convoluted mess. It feels like Lokesh has already exhausted all his good ideas by the first half of Leo, and the rest is slowly unveiling as a mess.

Even though this is the weakest Lokesh film, it does have its moments. The buildup was nice, and there were also a lot of scenes that worked really well. Nagarjuna looked stylish as the Villain, but after a point, it felt like he was repeating the same things. Soubin was the one who was the more persistent villain, but it felt like the writing went over the top for that character. The flashback portions were nice, but maybe that was because it was short. Upendra really made the movie better than it was with his screen presence in the few scenes he was in. It really felt like he could've made the movie better. Amir Khan said that he agreed to the movie without reading the script because it was a Rajnikanth film, and that was exactly his character. Even though he had nothing to do, it was fun to see him with Rajnikanth and Upendra.

Even though the script was a convoluted mess, there were enough good moments in it that made it an average watch for me. With a good crowd, this could be fun in the theaters; however, this was a disappointing experience.

Thalaivar is back! #Coolie is pure mass with vintage Rajini swag, killer dialogues, and Lokesh's gritty style. Anirudh's BGM = goosebumps guaranteed. This one's going to set the box office on fire! 🚂💥 #Rajinikanth #LokeshKanagaraj #Coolie

Coolie is a celebration of pure mass cinema, bringing together the unbeatable combination of Superstar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj for the first time. From the opening frame to the final shot, the film is an adrenaline-charged ride packed with style, swagger, and solid storytelling.

Rajinikanth shines as Devaraj "Deva," a fearless and charismatic figure who stands up for exploited coolie workers. His screen presence is magnetic - every dialogue, gesture, and slow-motion walk is greeted with whistles and cheers in theatres. This is Thalaivar at his vintage best, blending the fiery energy of his earlier roles with the refinement of experience.

Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction keeps the momentum high, delivering tightly choreographed action sequences with the signature Anbariv stunt magic. The harbor-set fights and hand-to-hand combat scenes are standout moments, perfectly balancing grit with cinematic grandeur.

The supporting cast adds tremendous value - Shruti Haasan impresses with both style and substance, Nagarjuna brings gravitas to his role, and special appearances by Aamir Khan and others are pure treats for fans.

Anirudh Ravichander's music and background score are electrifying, with the "Monica" song becoming an instant crowd favourite. His pulsating BGM elevates both emotional and high-voltage moments, ensuring the theatre experience is immersive.

Cinematography captures the film's industrial, gritty setting beautifully, while the production design gives the narrative an authentic yet larger-than-life feel. The interval block is a masterstroke, guaranteed to leave audiences roaring for the second half.

In short, Coolie is a power-packed entertainer that delivers everything fans expect - action, drama, style, music, and of course, Rajinikanth's unmatched charisma. It's more than just a film; it's a festival on screen.
