Coolie release day has turned into a festival for Rajinikanth’s admirers, with some flocking to theatres since midnight. To accommodate the massive rush, several theatres opened early for special shows. The energy was electric, with theatres resembling stadiums, filled with chants, whistles, and cheers for the superstar’s first collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Social media is already flooded with reactions to the film. Early reviews have been mixed, with some fans hailing Rajinikanth’s performance and others expressing disappointment. One viewer wrote, “First Half – Slow pacing, weak comedy, and predictable scenes fail to grab attention. Second Half – Turns even messier with forced drama, over-the-top action, and a dragged climax that tests patience.”
In contrast, another fan raved about the film on X, saying, “#Rajinikanth One Man Show, #Nagarjuna Antagonist As Simon Gives Pure Goosebumps, #AamirKhan In A Powerful Cameo, Anirudh Bgm With Action Is Next Level, Kollywood 1st 1000Cr Movie #LokeshKanagaraj Best Direction.”
Whether loved or critiqued, Coolie has undeniably created a storm at the box office and among audiences, and seeing Dhanush join the frenzy only proves that Rajinikanth’s magic continues to unite generations of fans.
