COOLIE INSIDER REVIEW - Don’t expect Vikram or Kaithi l

 All your doubts cleared by insider who watched Coolie Telugu 

• Script-wise, Coolie is very average. The film has a strong theme of friendship, but eventually, style takes over substance—especially in the second half.
• It’s a movie filled ul of episodes, and many of those have turned out well, especially the action sequences.
• Rajinikanth’s role will be a treat for his fans. But for the common audience, it might test their patience a little —similar to how GBU worked well for Ajith fans but didn’t click with everyone else this though wont be that polarised but still might irriates a little. De-aging was okay—not great, but not cringeworthy either.
• Nagarjuna’s role, which Rajinikanth referred to as “the next Anthony” in the Telugu press meet, starts off well in the first half. He looks stylish and shows his mettle in several scenes—even dominating Rajini in a few moments. However, the role fizzles out in the second half.
• The interval scene, in classic Lokesh style, has come out really well. If you’re familiar with Lokesh’s movies, you might even guess how it unfolds.
• The film received an A rating—not just for violence, but also due to cuss words. These might surprise or even shock some viewers.
• Aamir Khan’s role isn’t forced and fits into the narrative well—but he appears pale in role and also sequences because it looks patience testing by then. Not a  ROLEX worthy cameo .
• Upendra’s character is really good. As many guessed, he appears mostly in the flashback sequences and has a minor but impactful presence in the present timeline too.
• Shoubin is ruthless as the villain and leaves a strong impact. He deserves top marks.
• Overall, Coolie offers some great episodes, powerful background scores, and solid performances—but the story is Lokesh weakest though he tried very different one.
• First half > Second half in terms of engagement. Still, both halves contain good episodes. The second half is action-heavy.
• Nagarjuna shines in the first half, but his character becomes regular in the latter half.
• Shoubin’s performance is commendable.
• Upendra delivers a strong extended cameo with the best fan-service scene alongside Rajini.
• Sathyaraj and Shruti Haasan serve as the emotional threads of the story, but this is also where the writing becomes weak.
• Rajinikanth, as always, impresses with his acting and screen presence. The film is filled with Rajinisms, though Lokesh couldn't fully utilize them. That said, there are several moments that will enthrall.

Overall:

Don’t expect Vikram or Kaithi level storytelling. Lokesh tried something unique but couldn’t sustain it consistently. However, the major episodes have come out really well, and that should help at the box office.

Tip: Keep your story expectations in check to enjoy Coolie to the fullest.

Vijay Deverakonda’s latest movie Kingdom is rewriting box office records beyond the Telugu states. In a rare and remarkable feat, the film has become the first-ever Telugu film to gross Rs. 1 crore in Kerala, and surprisingly, this success comes without a Malayalam-dubbed version.

This milestone not only marks a new high for the actor but also highlights his rapidly growing popularity among Malayali audiences. What was once considered a limited market for Telugu-language releases is now proving to be fertile ground.

Meanwhile, Kingdom continues its impressive global run, grossing Rs. 67 crore so far and inching closer to the Rs. 100 crore milestone. The film is well on its way to becoming the biggest commercial success of Vijay Deverakonda’s career.

Bhagyashri Borse, Satya Dev, Venkatesh, Ayyappa Sharma, and others appear in key roles. The film is jointly produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. After three days in cinemas, the film has grossed nearly Rs. 67 crore worldwide. While Sunday’s numbers are holding steady, all eyes are on Monday, which is expected to be a crucial indicator of the film’s long-term performance.

After Valli, Rajini's Coolie gets A Certificate / Dhanush Fans happy with AI Ending

 Unusual for Rajinikanth, who boasts a fan following across age categories, his upcoming action entertainer Coolie has obtained an A certificate after clearing the censorship formalities. Valli was also certified 'A' but Superstar played only guest role in it. Is #Coolie the first full length Rajinikanth film to get 'A' certificate?

With this announcement, Coolie will be the first Rajini film in years to get an A certificate. It is worth noting that the film's director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, had said there won't be any compromises on violence and action in the film.

Produced by Kalanithi Maran under his Sun Pictures banner, Coolie boasts a star-studded ensemble consisting of Nagarjuna as Simon, Sathyaraj as Rajasekar, Upendra as Kaleesha, Shruti Haasan as Preethi, and Soubin Shahir as Dayal. Rajinikanth plays Deva in the film. Confirming speculations, it was revealed that Aamir Khan will play Dahaa in Coolie. The film is a reunion of sorts as Rajini teams up with Sathyaraj 38 years after Mr Bharath and Aamir Khan 29 years after Aatank Hi Aatank.

The controversy erupted with the August 1 re-release of the film’s Tamil version, Ambikapathy. Studio Eros International, reportedly without the director’s consent, used artificial intelligence to fundamentally change the movie’s iconic, heartbreaking conclusion.

What The New AI Raanjhanaa Ending Reveals

In the original film, audiences were left shattered as a fatally injured Kundan (Dhanush) succumbs to his injuries, leaving Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) to grieve his lifeless body. The new AI version rewrites this cinematic history. The scene cuts from Zoya caressing Kundan’s face to a shot of him breathing. His friends watch in relief before entering the room, smiling. Kundan then opens his eyes and wakes up, not to a somber score, but to celebratory music. Reports from those who have seen the re-release claim the AI effect is seamless, making it difficult for new viewers to even spot the alteration.

One fan wrote, "AI version new climax response for #Ambikapathy re-release. #IdlyKadai #Ambikapathy #Dhanush." 

The video that has been making the rounds online also shows Dhanush's character, Kundan, opening his eyes again, and he lives! Seeing his character not die, fans can be heard screaming and whistling.

Another fan mentioned, "My Kundan is alive, I'm so emotional while watching. Thank you Al #Raanjhanaa."

Someone else wrote, "#Raanjhanaa / #Ambikapathy gets a beautiful twist with a new AI-generated climax & it's so realistic, it hits right in the feels. Kundan is alive... and so is our love for this timeless story. AI just gave fans the closure they always wanted."
