Apart from Rajinikanth, the movie also features Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy, Kaali Venkat, and Charle in prominent roles.

With Independence Day, followed by Janmashtami and Sunday, _Coolie_ is expected to shatter several records at the ticket windows.

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the film 3 stars and wrote, “Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his stylish and massy storytelling, once again delivered his signature entertainer with the combination of chartbuster tracks, high elevation BGM, raw action sequences and an ensemble cast oozing swag.

Talking about the performances, Rajinikanth owns the film with his unmatchable swag, charisma and aura. Right from action sequences, dance numbers, to his one-liners, Thalaivar rules the screen with his magnetic presence. Aamir Khan’s cameo as Dahaa is pure mass. The frame where he is standing with Rajinikanth and Upendra (whose cameo is a visual treat) is pure cinema. Soubin Shahir steals the show as Dayal. He is cunning, dangerous and will blow your mind with his performance. Nagarjuna’s menacing avatar as Simon is simply phenomenal as the actor continues to shock the audience with his versatility. Rachita Ram comes across as a surprise package and impresses with her terrific act. Shruti Haasan delivers a good performance and shines in emotional sequences.”
