Coolie (2025) Movie Review: Rajinikanth’s Style Outshines the Story

Coolie was one of the most hyped films of the year, with Rajinikanth teaming up with Lokesh Kanagaraj in a project that promised to be a mass entertainer. The trailers had fans eager to see how Lokesh’s style would blend with Rajinikanth’s presence. Expectations were sky high, but once the film hit the screens, the final product didn’t fully match the buzz.

The film follows Rajinikanth’s character who sets out to track down his friend’s killer. His journey begins on a revenge path, but along the way he meets Shruti Haasan’s character and the two of them get tangled in solving what initially looks like a simple case. The problem is the way this story unfolds. Rather than moving straight from point A to point B, the film drags us through Z, then X, then C, then N, and only eventually reaches B. A story that’s actually straightforward gets overcomplicated to the point of confusion.
