Coolie (2025) – Rajinikanth’s Powerhouse Action Thriller That’s Set to Dominate Theatres This August!

The wait is nearly over! Superstar Rajinikanth is back with Coolie (2025), one of the most anticipated Tamil films of the decade. Directed by the blockbuster maker Lokesh Kanagaraj and powered by Anirudh Ravichander’s electrifying music, this gangster drama is all set to storm theatres on 14 August 2025 in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi (titled Coolie: The Powerhouse in Hindi).

An A-Rated Rajini Experience After 36 Years

In a rare move, Coolie has been certified A (Adults Only) by the CBFC. This promises intense action sequences, darker themes, and a grittier Rajinikanth than fans have seen in decades. Lokesh Kanagaraj has made it clear that Coolie will showcase Thalaivar in a raw, powerful avatar.

Music That’s Already a Chartbuster

Anirudh Ravichander has once again delivered a high-energy soundtrack with songs like “Monica”, “Powerhouse”, and “Chikitu” already trending. The background score is also said to be a major highlight, adding adrenaline to every fight scene.

With an estimated budget of ₹280–400 crore, Coolie has been filmed across Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Bangkok. The production has also included a special 25-second title card honoring Rajinikanth’s 50 years in cinema, a moment that fans will cherish on the big screen.

Hype and Box Office Buzz

The film’s advance bookings have already crossed ₹51 crore globally, and the fever is so high that some companies in India and Singapore are giving paid leave and free tickets to employees so they can watch Coolie on opening day. Early reviews call it “Rajinikanth’s best since Kabali” with Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna leaving a strong impression, and Aamir Khan’s cameo being a standout surprise.
