Coolie Movie Draws Mixed Overseas Buzz Despite Rajinikanth’s Charm
So, the much-hyped Coolie , starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has finally hit the big screens, and the early overseas reactions are already stirring debate. For months, the film had been riding a massive wave of anticipation, thanks to Lokesh’s impeccable track record and Rajinikanth’s magnetic presence. Add to that a star-studded lineup featuring Aamir Khan in a special cameo, Nagarjuna as the antagonist, Shruti Haasan, and more — expectations were sky-high. But now that the curtains have lifted, the feedback is… well, a mixed bag.

However, not everyone walked out smiling. A significant portion of the audience called the storytelling monotonous, pointing out that beyond the star power, the writing lacked freshness. Some felt the film leaned too heavily on Rajinikanth’s aura, without offering enough substance to match the talent involved. A few reviews complained about a predictable climax, dragged-out scenes, and a runtime that tested patience. Even Aamir Khan’s cameo, which was expected to be a highlight, didn’t impress everyone. While the second half did deliver on some mass moments, critics argued that the magic fizzled in between, leaving uneven pacing and forced drama.
Overseas viewers, in particular, seemed divided. On one hand, there’s the loyal Thalaivar fanbase, thrilled just to see Rajinikanth command the screen. On the other, there are moviegoers who felt the hype was just too inflated, calling the film “uninspired” and “a letdown.” The consensus? Coolie is far from a flop — the star power, some brilliant sequences, and the grand climax keep it afloat — but it may not be the genre-redefining spectacle many were expecting.
In short, if you’re a Rajinikanth fan, chances are you’ll still get goosebumps in plenty of moments. But if you walked in expecting a flawless Lokesh Kanagaraj masterpiece, you might leave thinking it’s a mix of brilliance and missed opportunities. Either way, Coolie has got people talking — and in the world of cinema, that’s already a win.
