Rajinikanth’s Rs. 500 crore grosser Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, recently arrived on Prime Video on September 11 in South Indian languages. Lokesh is being criticised by netizens as he couldn’t meet expectations. A day after Coolie’s OTT release, the Bollywood blockbuster Saiyaara, which also earned Rs. 500 crores, arrived on Netflix.
The romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri has now overtaken Coolie to become the most-watched film last week in India on OTT. According to Ormax Media, Saiyaara garnered 5.5 million views, whereas Coolie amassed 4.7 million views between September 8 and September 14. Despite being released only in a single Indian language, Saiyaara has dominated the star-studded Coolie.
Saiyaara marked the silver screen debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who became overnight stars. On the other Coolie also featured Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Rachita Ram.
