The wait is over — Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated action thriller Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has finally hit the big screens, and social media is already buzzing with reactions. While many fans are calling it a high-energy blockbuster, others feel it falls short of the massive hype.
High-Octane First Half Leaves Fans Thrilled
Early reviews on X (formerly Twitter) suggest that the film’s opening is nothing short of electrifying. One fan wrote:
“From scene one to interval, not a single slowdown! Lokesh proves his genius with flawless sequences. The unpredictability is gripping — audience constantly guessing the next move! Rajinikanth’s style and pre-interval BANGER — UNREAL! Nagarjuna’s energy is unmatched, and Anirudh’s score is pure fanboy ecstasy.”
Another early viewer simply stated, “Loki cooked very hard, man!”, praising the director for his gripping storytelling and stylish execution.
Mass Appeal and Technical Brilliance
Some fans are already calling Coolie a surefire blockbuster. One review highlighted the movie’s strengths:
“#Coolie – 4.5⭐. Lokesh Kanagaraj and team delivered a blockbuster. 1st half – great mix of mass moments & Loki’s trademark twists. One of the best de-aging effects in Kollywood. Second-half mass scenes are pure fireworks. Rajinikanth sir sambavam!”
The impressive visual effects and fast-paced screenplay seem to be major talking points.
Mixed to Negative Opinions Also Surface
Not all reactions were glowing. A few viewers found the film underwhelming, pointing to a lengthy second half and predictable climax.
One critic posted:
“#Coolie Review: Disappoints big time. First half was decent, but the second half dragged. Climax predictable. Only Pooja’s cameo stood out. 1.5/5 – Below Average.”
Another said the film “collapses under its own hype, delivering a tired and uninspired mess that even Rajinikanth’s charisma couldn’t save.”
Overall Verdict
Judging by the first wave of audience reviews, Coolie has managed to impress the majority with its high-energy action, mass dialogues, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature style. However, for some, it didn’t fully meet the towering expectations.
Whether Coolie emerges as a box office juggernaut or becomes a case of overhype remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: Rajinikanth continues to command attention with every frame.
