Coolie Movie Review & Box Office Live: Rajinikanth Starrer Faces Challenge to Beat Vijay’s ‘Leo’ Opening Record
Rajinikanth’s Coolie opens to glowing fan reviews for its action, pacing, and star power, but early numbers indicate it may not beat Vijay’s Leo in first-day collections.

One of the most eagerly awaited films of the past few years is Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, which stars Rajinikanth. The movie has dominated discussions on social media since its initial announcement and the release of teasers, posters, and stills. Coolie promised a grand cinematic experience with a stellar cast that included Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, and Pooja Hegde. Anirudh Ravichander’s energetic soundtrack has only amplified the hype, setting the stage for a potential blockbuster.
However, early trends indicate that Coolie may not be able to overtake Vijay's Leo in terms of opening day box office receipts, despite the film's high level of audience buzz.

According to a fan who saw Coolie twice, the film's densely packed plot gets even more interesting with each new viewing. They think a major component of long-term theatrical success is its high "repeat value."

A different audience praised Rajinikanth's amazing fight scenes, which were particularly noteworthy for his age, and described Coolie as "fast-paced and engaging." They gave the movie a 9 out of 10 and praised Lokesh Kanagaraj for striking a balance between powerful action and no profanity. The fan also implied that bias against Rajinikanth, rather than the calibre of the film, might be the source of some unfavourable reviews.

Rajinikanth's dominant on-screen persona served as the foundation for one netizen's description of the movie as a "decent entertainer." Although Nagarjuna's grey-shaded role was viewed as underutilised, Soubin Shahir's performance was praised. Upendra's appearance was noteworthy for making an impact.

Some fans saw Coolie as more of a "cinematic festival" than a film, bringing people together to celebrate Rajinikanth's rise to fame.

Even people who hadn't seen the movie yet said they were confident in Lokesh Kanagaraj's performance, referring to Coolie as a "triumph of style and substance" and anticipating a strong showing in spite of fierce competition at the box office.
