Is Rajinikanth’s 'Coolie' A Below-Average Movie? Social Media Reacts

Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, released worldwide on August 14, 2025, clashing with War 2 at the box office.

Marketed as an action-packed thriller with a star-studded cast, the film opened to massive hype. However, as audiences stepped out of theatres, the buzz began to shift.

While some fans praised Rajinikanth’s magnetic screen presence and Anirudh Ravichander’s pulsating background score, others felt that Coolie failed to live up to sky-high expectations, especially in its second half.

By the third day of release, Coolie had become a hot topic across X, Facebook, and YouTube reviews. A section of viewers called it “a below-average outing from Lokesh” and felt the director leaned too heavily on fan service while neglecting emotional depth.

Another moviegoer took to social media to defend Coolie against its critics, saying that negative reviews should not be believed. They felt the film was “so good” and argued that if Jailer could emerge a hit, then Coolie too deserves to be called a blockbuster. Calling it “only for Thalaivar,” the fan praised Rajinikanth’s screen presence and lauded director Lokesh Kanagaraj, adding that the filmmaker had “said it very well.”

Talking to social media, another reviewer described it as a complete mass entertainer, saying Rajinikanth was in “full mass mode.” They praised Lokesh Kanagaraj’s vision combined with Anirudh’s music, calling it a “goosebumps fest.” The surprise cameo of Aamir Khan was highlighted as a major crowd-pleaser, with the viewer adding that the film turned into a “pure theatre celebration with nonstop whistles and claps.

Many on social media felt that Coolie was an enjoyable film with strong performances and stylish moments; however, it ultimately did not live up to the immense hype that had developed before its release.
