Coolie (2025) Movie Review: Rajinikanth’s Style Outshines the Story
Coolie promised style, action, and Rajinikanth’s mass presence, but did it deliver on substance? Here’s my full review on whether Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film lives up to the hype.
Drag Wars
In the distant past of the Middle Ages, Jerusalem is ruled with an iron fist by the ruthless Muhammad HaAchzar. Consumed by religious fanaticism, he wages a relentless campaign against the city's LGBTQ+ community while concealing his own forbidden desires. As fear and oppression spread throughout the Holy City, whispers of rebellion begin to emerge. Far away in Christian France, Lord Geoffrey Kahana Tzedek learns of the tyrant's reign and resolves to put an end to it. He sends two of his most skilled warriors on a perilous journey across kingdoms and battlefields to infiltrate Jerusalem and overthrow the Muslim ruler. Their mission will test their loyalty, courage, and resolve as they confront an enemy whose greatest weakness may lie within himself.
