This year’s most anticipated Tamil film, Coolie, headlined by Rajinikanth, has finally hit the screens. According to early reviews, the gangster action drama directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj hasn’t lived up to the hype. Many feel Lokesh prioritized star power over substance, which ultimately affected the film.
While Coolie is Kollywood’s most-hyped film of 2025, Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming gangster action drama OG holds that spot for Tollywood. When expectations soar this high, the content must be nothing less than extraordinary to satisfy majority of the audiences. Otherwise, social media backlash is inevitable.
That’s exactly what’s happening with Rajini and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie right now, making movie buffs and Pawan fans anxious about OG. So far, the promotional material has amplified the buzz, but the real test will be whether director Sujeeth can hit the bull’s eye.
