Coolie was one of the most anticipated films of the year and carried enormous expectations due to its ensemble cast and massive production scale. Although the movie performed well commercially, it did not fully meet sky-high box office predictions.
Critics pointed out flaws in its screenplay and pacing. Additionally, its simultaneous release with War 2 divided audience attention. Nevertheless, Rajinikanth’s draw ensured that the film crossed the Rs 500 crore mark.
