Coolie: Did Aamir Khan's cameo as a villain Dahaa work for the audience? Twitterati call him 'sasta Rolex'
Coolie, featuring the legendary Rajinikanth, has officially hit theatres and is currently trending at an all-time high. This film has been one of the most anticipated releases of Rajinikanth as the actor completed 50 remarkable years in the Indian film industry. Audiences are hailing the megastar's performance, while Nagarjuna's portrayal of the villain is receiving high praise as well. However, it's Aamir Khan's striking appearance that has taken social media by storm. Netizens react to Aamir Khan's cameo in Coolie Fans are stunned to see Aamir Khan in his rugged, tattooed look that perfectly fits the character. Many fans have flocked to Twitter to share their honest reviews and opinions about Coolie. A large segment of users is lauding Aamir's bold look and his acting mettle, commending his ability to deliver yet another memorable performance. However, there are also voices within the audience who feel that Aamir Khan's cameo, while impressive, but isn't essential to the film's overall narrative. Many have shared their blunt opinions. One fan wrote, "Coolie second half review: One high high high high mass elevation after another BGM on beast mode. Aamir Khan, Upendra & Rajinikanth — acting at absolute top notch levels!" Another person said, "Sasta #Rolex #AamirKhan #CoolieReview." Many others also stated their review. As earlier reported by Pinkvilla, Coolie has ended its presales with insane collections of Rs 183 crore for the opening weekend worldwide. According to Pinkvilla's review, Coolie is a standalone venture with a decent storyline and neat execution. While the screenplay fails partly, the Rajinikanth starrer is still a fun watch meant for big screens. To note, War 2 and Coolie have clashed at the box office as both released today (August 14) on big screens. Along with Rajinikanth aka Thalaiva, Coolie boasts many prominent stars like Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and Aamir Khan. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie has received an A certification from the Censor Board. Apart from Tamil, the movie is also released in Telugu, Hindi and Kannada languages.

Saiyaara director Mohit Suri reveals he was blackmailed with negative reviews, reacts to allegations of fake audience reactions
The romantic drama Saiyaara has taken the industry by storm, grossing over Rs 500 crore in the last few weeks and launching the careers of newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The movie also revitalised director Mohit Suri's career, which had been faltering in the last few years. He said in an interview that he'd been written off by the industry following the failure of his last film, Ek Villain Returns, and acknowledged that the same people who dismissed him were rattled by Saiyaara's success. He also spoke about viral videos of audience members having animated reactions while watching his film, and revealed that he'd been blackmailed for positive reviews by people he considers 'friends'. Chatting with Faridoon Shahryar on YouTube, he was asked about those viral videos, which showed audience members ranting, raving, fainting, and having exaggerated reactions to the film. He said that it is difficult to 'lie' about having a physical reaction to a film, which is what his mentor Mahesh Bhatt always told him to aim for. He said that it is easier to 'lie' in a review. 'I just don't read reviews,' he said, adding, 'A couple of them called me also, saying, 'We are going to write a bad review unless you…' I'm like, 'Write it, I won't read it'. I'll make a film, you have a right to watch it or not watch it. Same way, you make your content, I won't read it.'

He said that Aashiqui 2, his previous major hit, was ignored by certain circles entirely. 'Now, when my film releases, I delete all my social media. I stay away, because I don't know which one is genuine and which one is not. Some of them are my friends, and I know that they charge money for it,' he said, adding that on-ground reactions cannot be faked.

The movie has its origins in Aashiqui 3, but due to some differences between warring production banners, the story was turned into Saiyaara, and produced by YRF instead.
