One of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year is definitely Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, which stars Rajinikanth. The film’s crew has been very secretive about the plot, carefully censoring all promotional materials and giving away very little. Even in his interviews, Lokesh has maintained quiet on critical details. A sneak peek at the movie’s plot has emerged, though, if summaries from websites like Letterboxd and Fandango are to be trusted.
A Sneak Peek into Coolie’s Story
According to Letterboxd, *Coolie* tells the story of a criminal syndicate rising to power under the leadership of Deva, a character portrayed by Rajinikanth. He decides to get back together and take charge of his former group. According to the platform’s summary:
An elderly gold smuggler revives his former mafia gang by concealing stolen technology in antique gold timepieces. However, he enters a new world shaped by crime, greed, and broken time as part of his plan to recapture his empire.
The film’s promotional graphics heavily emphasise the themes of gold and timepieces, implying that they are central to the plot.
By demonstrating that Deva is likewise motivated by a desire to make up for his past transgressions, Fandango deepens the plot. In line with their description:
This is a man’s unrelenting quest for vengeance, motivated by a desire to atone for his previous transgressions and reshape his identity. The emotional and tumultuous complexity of his endeavour is conveyed to viewers.
Fans are giddy with anticipation to learn the whole story when the movie comes out because Lokesh and his crew have decided to keep the entire plot a secret.
Concerning Coolie
The Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), which encompasses films like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo, does not feature Coolie. It has a strong cast that includes Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and others, even though it is a stand-alone film. Anirudh Ravichander is the composer of the music.
This movie, which follows the huge success of Leo, starring Vijay, is Lokesh Kanagaraj’s first collaboration with Rajinikanth.
Last seen with Amitabh Bachchan in Vettaiyan, Rajinikanth will shortly make an appearance in Jailer 2.
