Coolie (2025) – A Vintage Rajinikanth Show With Uneven Cargo

By BPN News Desk August 14, 2025

Walking into Coolie, I expected a Lokesh Kanagaraj action-thriller with the density and grit of his earlier work. What I got instead was a film that sails on the unshakable charisma of Rajinikanth but often drifts when it comes to story discipline.

Marketed as the launchpad of a two-part franchise, the film promises adrenaline-fueled espionage, grand visuals, and a personal redemption arc—but delivers only selectively on that promise.

Maalik (2025): Another Tired Ode to the Gangster That Even Rajkummar Rao Can’t Save

By BPN News Desk July 11, 2025
