Coolie plot leaked: Rajinikanth's action thriller operates through a bunch of golden watches? Here's what we know
Coolie to follow the storyline of a mafia crew connected with watches?
According to Letterboxd, the plotline of Coolie is supposed to follow the rise of an old mafia gang led by Rajinikanth 's character, Deva. He is portrayed as an aging gold smuggler who devises a unique plan to reunite and revive his old gang.
Deva utilises stolen technology hidden in vintage gold watches, which brings together his former crew and colleagues in one place. However, his plan to reclaim the once-fallen smuggler empire begins to spiral out of control and become something greater.
It ultimately forms a larger and new universe, one created from forged crime, greed, and a sense of broken time.
However, this is an unconfirmed synopsis, and it remains to be seen whether the film's actual storyline aligns with this.
Lokesh Kanagaraj confirmed bagging Rs. 50 crore as fees for Coolie
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj opened up about reports of him bagging a whopping Rs. 50 crore as fees for Coolie. The filmmaker mentioned that his last big film, Leo, earned about Rs. 600 crore at the box office, and it is only befitting that his fees now get doubled.
In his words, 'You might ask me about my Rs. 50 crore remuneration, but it stems from the fact that my last film, Leo, did very well at the box office and collected in the range of Rs. 600 crore. So it is only natural that my remuneration also got doubled. This is a demand and supply field, and I am working hard for every penny.'
Rajinikanth's reaction on watching Coolie
In another excerpt of the same interview, Lokesh Kanagaraj opened up about Rajinikanth's first reaction on watching Coolie altogether. The director mentioned receiving a special comment on this matter from the senior actor.
He said, 'After watching the film in the dubbing studio, he [Rajinikanth] hugged me and said, 'It looked like Thalapathi for me!' That made my day, and that was the night I slept very peacefully after many months.'

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' Box Office collection day 27: Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh starrer slows down further; mints only Rs 50 lakh on 4th Wednesday
Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh 's movie 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has been the talk of the town right from the word go. And if we examine the box office numbers, it can be safely said that the film lived up to its expectations. Released on June 20, 2025, this sports drama with the perfect blend of heartwarming emotions, laughter, and freshness has been able to attract an audience for a significant period. However, as the movie has entered its fourth week, the number graph is now witnessing a dip. Sitaare Zameen Par Box office update day 27 According to the Sacnilk report, the early estimates show that 'Sitaare Zameen Par' earned around Rs 50 lakh on its fourth Wednesday. With this, after 27 days of theatrical run, the tally has gone to an impressive Rs 162.50 crore. However, it is worth noting that the collection dropped from Rs 80 lakh to Rs 50 lakh on day 27. Though the weekend numbers were strong, weekdays witnessed a significant drop. Breaking down the Sitaare Zameen Par's weekly collection Week 1: ₹ 88.9 Cr [Hindi: 88 Cr; Tamil: 0.55 Cr; Telugu: 0.35 Cr] Week 2: ₹ 46.5 Cr [Hindi: 46.24 Cr; Tamil: 0.17 Cr; Telugu: 0.09 Cr] Week 3: ₹ 18.95 Cr [Hindi: 18.88 Cr; Tamil: 0.07 Cr] Day 22 [4th Friday]: ₹ 0.9 Cr [Hindi: 0.9 Cr ] Day 23 [4th Saturday]: ₹ 2.5 Cr [Hindi: 2.5 Cr ] Day 24 [4th Sunday]: ₹ 2.85 Cr [Hindi: 2.85 Cr ] Day 25 [4th Monday]: ₹ 0.6 Cr [Hindi: 0.6 Cr ] Day 26 [4th Tuesday]: ₹ 0.80 Cr [Hindi: 0.80 Cr ] Day 27 [4th Wednesday]: ₹ 0.50 Cr * early estimates Total: ₹ 162.50 Cr Sitaare Zameen Par - More than just a sports drama Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stands out for its story and emotions. It seamlessly blends elements of sports, humor, and touching moments. The plot centers around Aamir Khan, who plays a basketball coach who faces suspension and is subsequently assigned community service. This situation leads him to coach a team of athletes with disabilities for an upcoming tournament. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' review 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging,' reads the Times of India review of the movie, with an impressive rating of 3.5 stars. However, the review also highlights flaws in the film, as it further mentions, 'That said, the story does wander. Subplots involving his mother, Preeto (Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari), and their butler Daulatji (Bijendra Kala) contribute little to the core story. A few other sequences feel stretched, and pacing suffers in parts. The climax gets overly sentimental in parts. Some scenes, like the team managing airfare and accommodation for the final match, come across as convenient and trite. '
