Coolie Twitter Review: Netizens say Rajinikanth delivers 'pure festival vibes' but 'story could’ve been tighter', hails Aamir Khan's cameo

Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has lit up Twitter with a mix of roaring praise, sharp critiques, and plenty of Thalaivar fandom. Early reviews are flooding in from film trackers, fan pages, and entertainment insiders, and the conversation swings from “blockbuster” to “could’ve been tighter” depending on who you ask.

Thalaivar Mania Across Borders

Overseas viewers are all in on the hype. Powerhouse Media (@The_Powerrhouse) posted, “Thalaivar Mania takes over globally! Electrifying first half, goosebump flashback, blockbuster climax. Pure festival vibes in every frame.”

Star Power and Cameo Moments

Aamir Khan’s special appearance is a clear audience favourite. SportsCraft (@SportsCraft381) wrote, “Aamir Khan’s cameo = Best of the year. Story could’ve been tighter, but Rajinikanth carries the whole show on his shoulders.” Nagarjuna’s turn as the villain is being singled out as “the backbone of the film,” a point also highlighted by South Digital Media (@SDM_official1) in their post praising the “pan-Indian cast” and “power packed comeback” of multiple stars.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Signature

The director’s gritty, violent style is stamped all over Coolie. Ravi Chaudhary (@BURN4DESIRE1) declared, “Rajinikanth is BACK — bloodier, darker & deadlier than ever! Lokesh Kanagaraj delivers a violent mass masterpiece with soul… surprise LCU twist!” But not all were convinced. Golti_Slayer (@Golti_slayer) took a more critical tone: “Extreme violence suffocates. Something didn’t blend with multistars. My #cooliereview 2.5/5 — sorry Thalaiva.”

Ratings and Mixed Reactions

The scores on Twitter are all over the map. Ravi Chaudhary (@BURN4DESIRE1) and SportsCraft (@SportsCraft381) handed out “4.5/5 stars” and “blockbuster” labels, praising the intensity, cameos, and action. South Digital Media (@SDM_official1) gave it “3.5/5,” pointing out pacing issues despite strong direction and music. Golti_Slayer (@Golti_slayer) went lowest at “2.5/5.”

Music and Technicals

Anirudh Ravichander’s work is earning consistent praise. South Digital Media (@SDM_official1) called it a “chartbuster score… major highlight.” Visually, the film also clicks, with Golti_Slayer (@Golti_slayer) saying, “Lokesh gave his 200/100, cinematography fire.”

Bottom Line

Whether you see it as Ravi Chaudhary (@BURN4DESIRE1) puts it, “not just a movie, it’s a cult revolution,” or agree with Golti_Slayer (@Golti_slayer) that “extreme violence suffocates,” Coolie has undeniably put Rajinikanth back in the thick of the pop culture conversation. And as SportsCraft (@SportsCraft381) summed it up: “Rajinikanth carries the whole show on his shoulders.”
