Lokesh Kanagaraj’s mass and class tadka
Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is known for his fast-paced story and explosive action. Along with Rajinikanth, South’s veteran actor Nagarjuna and Bollywood’s beautiful actress Shruti Haasan are also playing important roles in the film. Not only this, the film also has a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan, which has further excited the audience.

“What a tremendous entry by Rajinikanth! Lokesh Kanagaraj has delivered a masterpiece.”
Another user wrote—
“The first half is a tremendous mix of mass and Loki’s plot twists, which keeps the audience glued to their seats.”
On the occasion of Rajinikanth completing 50 years, this film is being described as his best gift. Someone wrote—
“Despite having so many characters, Rajinikanth dominates every frame. Thalaiva’s magic remains intact!”
First day collections opened doors to records
Coolie had earned more than Rs 14 crore at the box office by 11 am. This figure is only for the opening show, and trade experts believe that the collection is going to increase manifold by the evening.

According to SaccNilc’s report, the initial ticket booking figures of the film were also surprising. Even before its release, Coolie had done business worth crores of rupees in advance booking.
Star power and a multi-star cast’s magic
Rajinikanth’s charismatic screen presence, Nagarjuna’s strong acting, and Shruti Haasan’s beauty have kept the audience captivated in the film. At the same time, Aamir Khan’s cameo came as a surprise package in the theatre, which was applauded by the audience.
While Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction style has large-scale action sequences, there are also many unexpected twists in the story, which take the film above a simple masala movie.
What will happen next?
Film trade pundits believe that if Coolie continues to earn at this pace, it can join the 1000 crore club in the coming days. This can prove to be a new milestone for Kollywood cinema.
For now, Coolie’s first day has been completely in Rajinikanth’s name. The whistles, slogans in the theatres, and fans dancing in front of the screen prove that Thalaiva’s magic is still the same as before.
