Rajinikanth never fails to create a storm whenever he appears on the big screen, and his latest outing Coolie was no different. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film stormed into cinemas with massive expectations, delivering an opening that broke multiple records worldwide. While the movie received mixed reactions from fans and critics, Rajinikanth’s sheer charisma kept audiences hooked. Now, after a successful theatrical run, Coolie is all set to begin its digital journey. The big question is — when and where can fans watch it online? Let’s dive into the details.
Coolie’s Theatrical Journey
Coolie hit theatres on August 14, riding high on hype thanks to the combination of Superstar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film opened to earth-shattering numbers, collecting Rs 65 crore in India and Rs 150 crore worldwide on day one itself — the biggest-ever opening for both Rajini and Lokesh.
However, while the film’s initial performance was nothing short of spectacular, the momentum slowed down in the weeks that followed. Mixed reviews and uneven word-of-mouth led to a steady dip at the box office. By the 20th day, the film had earned Rs 281.45 crore in India and Rs 333.35 crore worldwide, still a massive figure but lower than early expectations.
Coolie OTT Release Date
After its rollercoaster theatrical run, Coolie is gearing up for its much-awaited OTT release. Fans who couldn’t catch it in theatres, or those who want to rewatch the Superstar’s magic, can now do so from the comfort of their homes.
The film is making its digital debut on Prime Video, where it will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The Hindi version, however, will not release on the same date and is expected to arrive later.
Mark your calendars — Coolie is streaming on September 11, 2025, less than a month after its theatrical release.
How Was The Film Received?
We at Cinetales gave Coolie 3 stars, calling it a massy entertainer that plays slightly safe compared to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s usual style. Instead of his trademark full-throttle action, Lokesh opted for a more drama-driven narrative this time.
- Rajinikanth is undoubtedly the film’s biggest highlight. His screen presence, one-liners, and action moves are enough to keep fans glued.
- Nagarjuna adds solid weight with his performance, though his character loses impact in the second half.
- Shruti Haasan, Upendra, and Sathyaraj play their parts well, while Soubin Shahir and Rachita Ram could’ve been utilized better.
- Aamir Khan’s cameo as Dahaa is flashy fun, but more of a fan-service moment than a story essential.
- Anirudh’s music and background score carry the film, becoming its emotional heartbeat.
Overall, Coolie isn’t Lokesh’s most daring film, but for Rajini fans, it’s a treat worth watching.
Final Verdict
With Coolie, Rajinikanth once again proves why he’s the undisputed king of mass cinema. While the film may not be perfect, it packs enough moments of drama, action, and style to keep fans entertained. Its arrival on OTT ensures that Rajini’s larger-than-life saga now travels beyond theatres, reaching a global audience ready to cheer for him from their living rooms.
If you missed it on the big screen, the digital release is your golden chance to witness the Superstar in action once again.
