Coolie: 5 Reasons to Watch Rajinikanth's Gritty Action Thriller in Theaters!

Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest outing Coolie is one of the most anticipated releases of the year, hitting theater screens on August 14, 2025. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film promises a thrilling mix of mass moments, raw action, and emotional depth. Five reasons why Coolie is a must-watch on the big screen:

 

1. Rajinikanth

There’s no denying it—the biggest draw of Coolie is 'Thalaivar' 'Superstar' himself. Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life persona, his unmatched charisma, and signature style have a magnetic pull, that has kept audiences coming back for 50 years now. In Coolie, the 74-year-old has attempted power-packed action on par with his younger contemporaries.

 

For the moments of sheer magic that only Superstar Rajinikanth can create on-screen, Coolie deserves a watch in theaters.

 

2. Intriguing Plot

At its heart, Coolie is a gripping, revenge-driven action thriller set in a bustling port town. But the movie is also layered with drama, emotional undercurrents, and gripping character arcs, weaving together a narrative set in gold smuggling, betrayal, redemption, survival, etc. 

 

The storyline leaves us intrigued about what caused Sathyaraj's death in Coolie, who is Rajinikanth, and why did his friend Sathyaraj keep him out of spotlight for 30 years, what crime rings do Aamir Khan, Nagarajuna, and Soubin Shahir run, and where do 'luxury watches' and 'electric chairs' fit into all this. 

 

A plot that keeps viewers invested, is another reason why Coolie deserves a watch. 

 

3. Lokesh Kanagaraj

Lokesh Kanagaraj is a director who is known to deliver a movie experience that both thrills, and connects. As a name often associated with redefining Tamil commercial cinema, one expects Coolie to be no short of the same. Rajinikanth for the first time in Lokesh's trademark mix of intense action, and crowd-pleasing moments, adds to Coolie's appeal. 

 

4. Big Screen Experience

Coolie is a film that is tailor-made for theaters. From its grand production scale to its stellar cast of Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruthi Haasan, Sathyaraj, Pooja Hegde, to the heart-pounding stunt sequences, Coolie thrives on spectacle.

 

Combined with Girish Gangadharan's cinematography, Anbariv's action choreography, and Anirudh Ravichander’s pulsating music, Coolie promises a viewing experience that simply cannot be replicated at home.


5. Social & Cultural Fervor:

It is not everyday that one gets to witness an extremely popular lead actor celebrating his golden jubilee year at the movies. Few films can claim to spark a cultural movement, but Coolie does just that by releasing on the 50-year anniversary of Rajinikanth.

 

Coolie is a milestone not just for the Superstar, but also Tamil-Indian cinema as it is a 50th year film of the country's longest thriving lead actor. Coolie in a nutshell is a pop culture moment that no one should miss. 

A Sun Pictures production, Coolie comes with a runtime of 2 hours 49 minutes 57 seconds. The A censored movie releases in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and in Hindi as Coolie: The Powerhouse.
