But this isn`t just a one-man show—Coolie boasts a powerhouse ensemble:

Coolie isn’t just a victory—it’s a statement. With a punchy plot, a magnetic ensemble, and a staggering box office stride, it’s now etched as Rajinikanth’s third-biggest hit ever in India—and arguably his most electrifying yet.
