Rajinikanth’s much-awaited action entertainer ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, finally hit theatres, and social media is buzzing with first reactions. While many fans are hailing the superstar’s performance and the film’s high-octane sequences, others are calling it an overhyped disappointment.
Fast-Paced & Packed with Twists
Several early viewers praised Coolie for its non-stop action and unpredictable storytelling. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter),
“From scene one to interval — not a single slowdown! Lokesh proves his genius with flawless sequences. Rajinikanth’s style, punchlines, and the pre-interval banger — UNREAL! Nagarjuna’s energy is next level. Anirudh Ravichander’s score is pure fanboy ecstasy.”
Others highlighted Lokesh Kanagaraj’s unique storytelling, slick editing, and impressive de-aging technology used on Rajinikanth.
Potential Blockbuster
Some fans believe Coolie has all the ingredients of a blockbuster. One post read,
“#Coolie - 4.5 stars. Lokesh Kanagaraj and team delivered a blockbuster. First half: Mass + plot twists. Second half: Mass scenes hit hard. Rajinikanth sir sambavam!”
Criticism Over Length & Predictability
Not all reactions were positive. A section of the audience criticised the film’s lengthy runtime, predictable climax, and a cameo that failed to impress.
One review stated,
“It collapses under its own bloated hype, delivering a tired, uninspired mess that decreases Rajinikanth’s charisma. Direction feels like a parody of Lokesh’s own style.”
Overall Verdict
While Coolie has sparked a divided opinion, the early buzz suggests Rajinikanth fans will enjoy the film’s mass appeal, even if some moviegoers feel it doesn’t quite live up to its hype.
