Coolie, the multi-starrer led by Superstar Rajinikanth, has turned into a box office storm. Featuring big names like Akkineni Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, and Upendra, the film arrived with massive expectations, and it�s delivering on them. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie opened to packed houses not just in India but across global markets. In Canada, the film smashed all-time opening records, proving yet again the unstoppable pull of Rajinikanth. The response has been so overwhelming that theatres overseas are adding extra shows to meet the demand.

The craze isn�t limited to one region. In Telugu and Tamil markets, Coolie is enjoying strong collections, boosted by special weekend premieres in Canada, America, Europe, and beyond. Even where mixed talk exists, it hasn�t stopped audiences from lining up for Thalaivar�s latest. Trade experts say Rajini�s loyal fan base is treating the film as a celebration, creating a festival-like vibe in theatres.

Music by Anirudh Ravichander has played a big part in the film�s energy. The songs have racked up millions of views online, and his high-powered background score is lifting the theatre experience to another level. Combined with Lokesh Kanagaraj�s slick direction and big-scale action, the film has all the ingredients of a mass entertainer.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie showcases Rajinikanth as Deva, a gold smuggler with style and swagger. The supporting cast, including Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Reba Monica John, adds further weight to the story. With the first weekend still underway, all eyes are on how far this frenzy can push Coolie at the worldwide box office.
