Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, was one of the most anticipated films of the year. With a powerhouse cast including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Aamir Khan, Soubin Shahir, and Upendra, expectations ran sky-high. Fans hoped for a blockbuster filled with gripping action and emotional drama. However, the film received mixed reviews after its theatrical release. While some praised Rajinikanth’s performance and the action sequences, others felt the storyline lacked depth.
Initially, reports suggested Coolie would hit OTT platforms 6 to 8 weeks after its theatrical run. But Prime Video surprised fans by announcing that the film will start streaming on September 11. That’s just 28 days after its release in theaters. This quick digital release signals a shift in how big-budget films approach distribution.
According to Prime Video, Coolie will stream in all four major South Indian languages Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The official poster, however, did not mention a Hindi release. This could indicate a delay in the Hindi version. Despite this, many viewers today prefer subtitles, so this may not significantly impact its reach.
Some industry insiders believe the earlier reports about a delayed OTT release were part of a marketing strategy. The idea might have been to keep the buzz alive and push more people into theaters. If this becomes a trend, viewers might start to question such announcements in the future. Trust in promotional messaging could take a hit.
Despite the mixed reception, Coolie continues to generate interest. The film combines Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature direction with Rajinikanth’s iconic presence. Add to that a cast packed with big names, and Coolie still draws attention.
