'Coolie': Rajinikanth returns with an ‘A' certified after 36 years, A recap of Superstar's previous ‘A' rated films
As a result, fans expect the impact of fight scenes and violence to be high. It is said that this 'A' certificate was given to 'Coolie' without making any concessions, and to preserve the overall action of the film.
Here's a closer look at it.
Rajinikanth films that earned an 'A' certificate
While most of Rajinikanth's films have been given a U/A certificate, it is a rarity for his films to be given an 'A' certificate. Previously, Rajinikanth's films such as 'Pudukkavidhai' (1982), 'Ranga' (1982), 'Naan Sigappu Manithan' (1985), and 'Urkavalan' (1987) have also received an 'A' certificate.
The last film of the actor to receive an 'A' certificate was 'Siva', released in 1989, and this was even before Shah Rukh Khan made his cinema debut.
The fact that 'Coolie' is being released as a complete 'A' film after 36 years has created great excitement and nostalgia among fans.
Makers stand by the bold content
Since the impact of the story can only be felt by fully packing violence, emotion, and fight scenes without any deviation from the direction the story has taken, the makers have decided to release it with an 'A' certificate without making any changes.

Coolie Crosses Rs 20 Crore Gross In Advance Ticket Sales Worldwide For The Opening Day, With A Week To Go The bookings in North America are at record levels while the bookings in other international Tamil hotspots like Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand are very good to excellent. If the international advance bookings are anything to go by, the opening in India will also be terrific. Rajinikanth is set to deliver his biggest opening while Lokesh Kanagaraj too may, if the speed of advance bookings continues up until the day of release, and the word of mouth is strong. The fact that the Rajinikanth movie is aiming for a day 1 of comfortably over Rs 120 crore worldwide only proves the amount of love that the actor gets, even 50 years after being in the movie industry. We also must not ignore the fact that the movie will pack these numbers in a clashed scenario, and if not for the clash, the day 1 would, for certain, be Lokesh's highest too. Coolie Is Set To Have Excellent Advance Bookings In India As Well The advance bookings for Coolie will open soon in India. The bookings are set to open on a banging note, not just for the Tamil version but also the Telugu version. Coolie is said to have hype similar to War 2 in the Andhra states. War 2 has a major Tollywood A-lister and for Coolie to be a challenging competitor to the YRF movie in Andhra states is great news from the point of view of Sun Pictures. In Hindi too, Coolie looks to surprise, though a breakout is unlikely. It is going to be a very tight contest this Independence day. While the day 1 battle shall be won by Coolie, the lifetime battle is anyone's guess at this point. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Four contestants are 'out' of the house
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 witnessed a dramatic twist as Shanavas, Gizele, Bincy, and Shaitya faced potential eviction. Housemates nominated them for perceived inactivity, leading to a unique challenge: staying awake all night in the garden. While Gizele fought to stay awake, Shanavas, Shaitya, and Bincy succumbed to sleep, their fate now in the hands of the remaining contestants. The drama inside the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 house just intensified as four contestants were shown the door as part of a surprise twist under the season's central theme, 7nte Pani (The Challenge of Seven). In the latest episode, Bigg Boss threw a curveball by asking housemates to nominate four contestants whom they felt deserved to be removed from the house. The nomination process saw inmates openly calling out their fellow contestants, leading to strong criticisms and some tense moments. The reason? Lack of participation, unwanted fights, and general inactivity. After the nominations, Shanavas , Gizele, Bincy, and Shaitya were selected as the four to face the consequences. However, in true Bigg Boss style, the eviction wasn't straightforward. Here came the twist, Bigg Boss announced that the four chosen contestants would be moved out of the house and into the garden area. The challenge: they must stay awake all night. If any of them fell asleep, the other housemates had the power to take them to a designated red mark, signaling immediate eviction from the show. The challenge kicked off with high energy, and all four contestants appeared to take it sportively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your donations can help this little boy see again clearly Donate For Health Donate Now Undo However, the physical toll began to show.

Donald Trump SLAMS Stephen Colbert, calls him 'talentless' after 'The Late Show' cancellation: 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next'
"He's got no talent": Trump mocks Stephen Colbert after CBS cancels 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' "He's got no talent": Trump mocks Stephen Colbert after CBS cancels 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' 1 2 US president Donald Trump called popular late-night host Stephen Colbert 'talentless' after CBS announced it would cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert following a 10-year run. Speaking at a press conference at the White House, President Trump criticised Colbert and predicted that other late-night hosts such as Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel would also lose their shows soon. Trump says he could outperform late-night hosts "Colbert has no talent. I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent. Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear they're going. Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon," Trump said while addressing the media on Wednesday (Local Time). Trump expresses joy over Colbert's cancellation This is not the first time Trump has attacked Colbert's abilities. Following the cancellation announcement, Trump expressed his happiness in a post on his Truth Social platform and also took aim at Jimmy Kimmel. "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show," Trump posted on July 18. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SRM Online MBA | India's top ranked institute SRM Online Learn More Undo Check out the post here CBS, however, said the cancellation was not related to the show's performance. In a statement, the network said, the cancellation of 'The Late Show' was purely a "financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night" and is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount, in reference to the possible acquisition of its parent company, Paramount Global, by Skydance. Fellow host Andy Cohen reacts to cancellation The decision has surprised many, including fellow late-night host Andy Cohen. Speaking to Deadline at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, Cohen called the cancellation "a sad day for late-night television". "I think it's a sad day for late-night television. I think it's a sad day for CBS. I think Stephen Colbert is a singular talent. He's going to have an incredible next chapter," Cohen said. "I can't believe CBS is turning off the lights at 11:30 after the local news. I'm stunned. He's one of three late-night shows deemed worthy enough for an Emmy nomination. He produces a brilliant show," he added. According to PEOPLE, Colbert made the announcement during the show's taping on July 17 at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York. He took over the programme in September 2015, following the retirement of David Letterman . The show is expected to end in May next year.
