The wait is over: Coolie, which stars Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, is officially in theatres, and everyone is really excited. The movie, which marks the superstar's 50th year in Indian cinema, has drawn huge crowds who have lauded Rajinikanth's compelling on-screen character. Aamir Khan's surprise presence has gone viral on the internet, but Nagarjuna's scary villain play is getting a lot of applause.
Aamir Khan's look steals the show
Fans were shocked by Aamir Khan's rough, tattooed look, which perfectly matched his mysterious personality. Reactions on Twitter have been huge, with many praising his bold style and genuine acting, calling it another great performance in his career.

Aamir Khan looking rugged AF but acting like a pakka pookie.. 😍😍❤️❤️#Coolie — kay'ozhi🍉 (@TheRedAlbatross) August 14, 2025
But not everyone who saw the movie thought the cameo was important to the tale.
Some people liked the surprise, but others questioned how important it was to the story.
One very enthusiastic fan said, "Coolie second half review: One high high high high mass elevation after another." BGM is in beast mode. All three actors, Rajinikanth, Upendra, and Aamir Khan, are doing their best work. "Sasta #Rolex #AamirKhan #CoolieReview" was another comment that was more direct.

The Rajinikanth movie is still thought to be a must-see on the big screen because so many people like it.
🎬 Rajini🔥 carries the film but script feels flat. Nagarjuna 🥱 (why accept this script? 🤷♂️). Shobin as Dayal 💯👏 Aamir Khan cameo 🙅♂️ wasted. Uppendra 🙄 unnecessary. Shruti Hassan 🌸 no real impact. Anirudh failed to deliver Overall: Avg fare 😐 not worth the hype 🚫📢 pic.twitter.com/b648M3wm71 — kailash adapa (@kailashadapaa) August 14, 2025
With the release of War 2 on August 14, Coolie has set the stage for one of the biggest box office clashes of the year.
