    Coolie is going to release on August 14

    Coolie, the next action-comedy from Lokesh Kanagaraj, has already had people talking online, and it is yet to release in theatres. The Rajinikanth movie, which comes out on August 14, promises to show the superstar in a whole new way, told in Kanagaraj's unique way. As the release date gets closer, early reviews on social media have made people even more excited.


    Shruti Stuns, Nagarjuna Rules

    According to reports, Shruti Haasan is the "main highlight" of the movie, stealing the show in every scene. Nagarjuna's role as the bad guy, on the other hand, has been called the "backbone of the story," and his complex evilness adds complexity to the story.

    The review also talks of a special appearance by Aamir Khan, which hints to a scene that could make people go crazy in theaters.

    A Big Surprise Is Coming

    Insiders say that Coolie has a big surprise for fans that the makers have been able to keep secret.

    This news has had people all throughout the country excitedly waiting for ticket sales to start.

    The movie's numbers before it comes out show that it will be a hit.

    Filmibeat reported that bookings from other countries reached $2 million (Rs 90+ crore) in just three days after the teaser was out. North America alone gave $1.2 million, which shows how popular Coolie is around the world.

    Even though the CBFC gave it an "A" rating, industry experts think it will make Rs 100 crore globally on its first day. The movie will compete at the box office with War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, but current pre-sales patterns predict that Rajinikanth's movie will easily beat its competitors.

    Rajinikanth's Next Big Win?

    For supporters, Coolie is another big step forward for Rajinikanth after Vettaiyan. With powerful performances, a captivating story by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and early reviews declaring it a must-see, the stage is set for an Independence Day weekend that will break records.

    It is going to clash with another big Bollywood movie War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani on Augut 14.
