The first day of Rajinikanth Coolie resonated with the audience’s whistle and hooting in Bhopal. Full of strong action and style, the film is a treat for fans, although the weak second half of the story and the tangled twists give some disappointment.
Coolie Movie Review: Friday is usually known for the release of films. But in view of the festive season for some time, many producers bring their films on Thursday, so that one day of earnings can be added to the weekend. Something similar happened on 14 August 2025. On this day, not one, but two big films came in theaters, Rajinikanth’s’ Coolie ‘, called the God of South and the other known as Greek God, Hrithik Roshan’s’ War 2. By the way, I go to watch Hindi films every time. But this time after discussion with his senior, it was decided that the Tamil language pan India film ‘Kuli’ should be seen. Then what was the ticket cut of Cinepolis Multiplex located in Ashima Mall in Bhopal.
First day, the first show was 10:15 am. About 9 km from home struggling with traffic. On reaching Ashima Mall, I was about 10:25 and felt that I was late. But I was not alone so. When I looked at the ticket window, there was a line of ‘Kuli’ tickets. Even after 10 minutes up, people took tickets and screen no. Took entry in 3. When I also reached inside, there was some relief, because advertisements were going on on the screen. That is, the film had not started yet. The cinema hall was almost half full. The disgrace to see Rajni on the screen was such that the audience started getting irritated by the commercials coming on the screen. Well, the time also came when the flash on the screen was’ Lights Down, Movie On. “There was silence in the theater as soon as this phrase came.
Now let’s talk about the film. After the message of CBFC certificate, cigarette-liquid disclaimer and special thanks, as soon as the screen came on screen ‘Superstar Rajni’ … Believe that the seats and hooting noise in theaters were overshadowing the sound of the film. This noise continued for about 1 minute. Not only this, when Rajinikanth’s entry took place, the same noise once again. Seeing this, it was understood that brother actor can be anyone, but the superstar is the same. That too, from which Tutti speaks from South to North. The film be flop or hit, but one thing is guaranteed that Rajni is always a hit. Even at the age of 70, what is his energy level is simply worth watching. It is icing on gold, their action, their familiar style.
In ‘Coolie’, Rajinikanth played the role of Deva, who used to work as a coolie in a company till 35 years ago. Deva, who is currently running a boarding house called Deva Mansion, suddenly receives the news of the death of his best friend Rajasekhar (Satyaraj) and he goes to pay tribute to him. During this time, she comes to know that Rajasekhar’s life did not go through a heart attack, but has gone on several blows on the chest. He goes out to find his friend’s murderer and then the story is one of the villains one after the other, which does not stop until the end of the film. Dayal (Sobin Shahir), Simon (Nagarjuna), Kalyani Dayal (Rachita Ram) and finally Daha (Aamir Khan). How does Deva deal with enemies? What twists come in the story? You will get answers to many such questions after watching the film.
Lokesh Kanagaraja has directed the film. But if it is called their weakest film, then nothing will be wrong. In the process of bringing many twists and turn, he has made such a mixture in the film that your forehead will roam in many places. The first half is still fine, but in the second half you will also ask what you want to say, brother. From the aspect of acting, the film is a hit. There is no break of Rajinikanth. Artists including Nagarjuna, Sobin Shahir, Satyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Aamir Khan have done their share of work well. AI technology has also been used in the film. The youth of Rajinikanth, Satyaraj, Upendra and Mahesh Manjrekar etc. were shown with the help of this technique, which has become good. The music of the film is not special. But the background music is strong. If you say in one line, if you are a fan of Rajinikanth, his action and his style, then this film is made for you.
