In the film, Rajinikanth plays the role of a cunning smuggler named Deva, who uses new techniques to smuggle gold watches. He faces villains like Nagarjuna (Simon Xavier), Upendra (Kalisha), Sathyaraj (Rajashekhar), and Aamir Khan (Daha), whom he overcomes with his cleverness.

The story of the film revolves around Rajinikanth's character Deva, who wins the hearts of the audience with his powerful action and dialogue delivery. Nagarjuna has given a brilliant performance in the role of the villain, while Aamir Khan has created a stir in South cinema with his cameo.

The music of the film is given by Anirudh, whose background score fills the audience with thrill. Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin also attended the special screening of the film and called it "powerful and entertaining."

Amazing opening run at the box office

'Coolie' had earned Rs 100 crore globally even before its release. The first-day ticket sales were more than 12 lakh, and trade experts estimate that the film can cross the 50 crore mark on the first day. Due to the Independence Day weekend, it can also touch the 200 crore mark in its first week.

Will 'Coolie' become a blockbuster?

The magic of Rajinikanth's films seems to be working once again.
