August 14, 2025, and the buzz is big around Rajinikanth’s latest movie, Coolie , directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film hits theaters today, but early reviews from overseas audiences are already out, and they’re not all happy. Some fans love it, while others feel let down.

What’s Coolie About?

Coolie is an action-packed movie where Rajinikanth plays a tough character. It’s directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is known for exciting films. The movie also stars Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, and has a special appearance by Aamir Khan. It was released on August 14, 2025, which is Independence Day, making it a big event for fans.

What Are Overseas Fans Saying?

People watching Coolie outside India have shared their thoughts early. Here’s what they think:
  • Not Exciting Enough: Many say the story feels slow and boring at times. They call it “monotonous,” meaning it doesn’t keep them thrilled all the way.
  • Letdown Feeling: Some fans expected a big, action-packed hit like Rajinikanth’s old movies, but they feel it didn’t meet their hopes.
  • Good Ending: Even with complaints, the climax (the big finish) is getting praise for being exciting and full of action.
  • Strong Acting: Rajinikanth’s performance and the work by other actors like Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna are being liked by some.

Why the Mixed Reviews?

Overseas audiences might have high expectations because Rajinikanth is a superstar, and Lokesh Kanagaraj is famous for hits like Leo. Some hoped for non-stop action or a fresh story, but the slow pace in parts disappointed them. Still, the movie’s big moments and star power are keeping some fans happy.

What’s the Movie Like?

  • Action and Drama: There are lots of fights and emotional scenes.
  • Star Power: Aamir Khan’s cameo (a short role) adds a special touch.
  • Length: Some say it feels long because the story doesn’t move fast enough.

What Fans Are Doing

People are talking a lot on social media. Some are upset and calling it a “letdown,” while others are defending it, saying the ending saves the movie. The early reviews are creating a big debate as more people get ready to watch it today.
