Why Coolie Is A Terrific Tribute To 50 Years Of Rajinikanth In Indian Cinema
Superstar Rajinikanth beats up a dozen men single handedly while Anirudh croons Arangam parakattumae... now (let the arena shake, let the whistles fly now), and the theatre literally erupts in thunderous applause and whistles. Sitting in the first day, first show of Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanidhi Maran's Sun Pictures, this Rs 350 crore extravaganza is a celebration of 50 years of Rajinikanth in the Indian film industry. Coolie has broken records in Tamil cinema having done a whopping business of more than Rs 100 crore in advance booking sales and trade pundits believe that by August 18, it can amass Rs 300 crore worldwide. In fact, it has reportedly already secured Rs 240 crore through its digital, satellite and music sales. Unlike all the previous films of Rajinikanth, there is a stark difference in his 171st film which released on August 14, 2025. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is known for his high-octane action commercial entertainers starring Thalapathy Vijay, has showcased the superstar in a similar flick with a whole host of other stars from across numerous film industries. Bollywood's Aamir Khan, Tollywood's Nagarjuna, Sandalwood's Upendra and Mollywood's Soubin Shahir, join Rajinikanth in this film making it a landmark one in his career. Each of these actors drastically upped the star quotient and value of Coolie when they stepped into the film in dramatic entry scenes that had the theatre cheering. And Lokesh managed to tie all of them neatly into the plot of the film too. Another interesting and perhaps, a highly appealing factor, was that 74-year-old Rajinikanth was not 'paired up' and made to romance a much younger heroine. The superstar stands tall looking his age and acting his age (forgive the super physicality) but still exuding the same style, charm and swag that he had in his much younger days. Coolie is all action from the get go and this is how the director keeps the pace fast and the movie moving forward from one character to another. We are introduced to Deva (Rajinikanth) who runs a mansion and to his close friend Rajashekar (Sathyaraj), an R and D specialist, who dies unexpectedly. Deva feels responsible for Rajashekar's three daughters, including Preethi (Shruti Haasan), and when he finds out his friend was murdered, he starts to investigate. The story quickly takes off from there and we meet an uber rich don named Simon (Nagarjuna) and his right-hand man Dayal (Soubin Shahir). How are the two involved in Rajashekar's death? What happened to Rajashekar's invention? However, the movie does lag in parts as some fight scenes are dragged on and numerous unnecessary scenes have been added in like fillers. Sharper editing by Philomin Raj could have made the film much tighter and reduced the screen time of 2 hours 50 minutes as well. The plot of the film is flimsy and though he adds a backstory for Deva, it is action aka violence that really drives the film. Keeping in tune with many of Rajinikanth's earlier films, the director portrays the superstar as the hero who bats for the masses, in this case labourers. Deva is an ordinary man who stands up to those that wrong the masses, helps students with their education goals, and respects and protects women at all costs. But like his name translates, he is also God to those he supports. Lokesh Kanagaraj is known for his heavy-duty but slick fight sequences, extravagant sets, low-key lighting and memorable characters that flit in and out of scenes with swag. And he has done ample justice to his 'Lokesh Cinematic Universe' in Coolie as well. Rajinikanth is seen in an avatar that we have seen shades of before - action, style, swag - and Lokesh has multiplied it a 100-fold to transform him into an out-and-out action superstar. The entry of the hero's face next to a blade began in Maanagaram, his 2017 debut film, and continues strategically and classily in Coolie with Rajinikanth. With Coolie, the director has established himself as the top commercial action filmmaker in South India who can craft visually stunning stories that draws the young and the old into theatres not just for the stars but for the experience itself. As for superstar Rajinikanth, what can one say about the 74-year-old who continues to stun audiences around the world with his choice of films and stylish performances? There is just no stopping this Rajinikanth juggernaut and his fans are loving it. When director and writer K Balachander cast Shivaji Rao Gaekwad aka Rajinikanth in Appoorva Ragangal (1975) in the small role of Pandian, little could he have imagined that he would go on to become the superstar of Tamil cinema and a box office legend. Coolie is a befitting tribute to Rajinikanth's 50 years in Tamil cinema and the team is definitely smiling away at the blockbuster it has become in his honour.

Ahaan Panday's Sweet Gesture Towards Fans Wins Hearts, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Ahaan Panday has been getting love from all corners ever since his debut film Saiyaara has released. The romantic drama has shattered all box office records. Ahaan Panday may be just one film old, but the young actor is already winning over fans with his charm. The Saiyaara star was recently spotted in Mumbai, where his gesture towards fans has gone viral on social media. In the video, shared by Filmygyan, we can see Ahaan Panday clicking selfies with fans. He was all smiles as he clicked photos and even interacted with them. The actor has been getting love from all corners ever since his debut film Saiyaara has released. The romantic drama has shattered all box office records. Many celebrities have praised the film. Mohit Suri's take on Saiyaara: Filmmaker Mohit Suri is currently basking in the success of his latest release, Saiyaara, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Suri, at CNN-News18's Mumbai Townhall event, said that his upcoming film Saiyaara was written keeping newcomers in mind. He revealed that it was Yash Raj Films chairman Aditya Chopra who told him that the film would flop if it were made with 'established names". 'I really had put in a lot of my voice into the film," Suri shared. 'In this atmosphere where everyone was blowing up cars, I was making this love story with new people. I put in a lot of myself in writing the film, along with my assistant. I sent the script to YRF during the December holiday weekend and I chickened out. I thought, let me give him some solution—in the sense, provide some actors and known names who would back me and make this film. I so badly wanted to make this film," he explained. Thanks to Aditya Chopra's faith, Mohit Suri stuck to his gut and cast fresh faces, ensuring Saiyaara remains true to its original essence. And the result? A film with a gross collection of over Rs 500 crore! Varun Badola on Saiyaara: In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit on YouTube, Varun was quoted saying, 'People are saying that this film has proven that we don't need stars anymore. That's not true. Abhi tum Ahaan Panday ko utha ke Jawan mein daalo, Jawan flop ho jayegi. Shah Rukh ko Saiyaara mein daal do, Saiyaara flop ho jayegi. Shah Rukh will suddenly become too big for the film, and Ahaan will not have the personality to run Jawan." 'I saw the euphoria on Instagram. Log jo chudiyaan tod rahe hai, chaatiyaan peet rahe hai (People were breaking their bangles, beating themselves). I think the promotions team went a little overboard there, where people are going to see the film, putting IV drips. Those people must have been told to give content in some way; thank god, people didn't get their legs broken and went crawling to see the film," he added. About Saiyaara: The romantic drama follows Ahaan, a daring and struggling musician, and Aneet, a fiercely devoted writer, as their love is tested by life's trials in classic Mohit Suri style. The film explores themes of grief, sacrifice, and eternal love. Written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, Saiyaara also features standout performances from Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola, marking the first collaboration between Mohit Suri and legendary production house Yash Raj Films. view comments First Published: August 14, 2025, 13:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
