Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj released his weakest film to date, titled Coolie. Despite this, the movie achieved a global box office revenue of 500 crore, driven by the star power involved and the anticipation surrounding it.

Lokesh Kanagaraj recently addressed the criticism Coolie received directly and clearly. He acknowledged that the film drew considerable negative feedback and confirmed he has considered those opinions carefully.

Lokesh mentioned he plans to actively address the flaws audiences and critics pointed out in his upcoming project. He sees this feedback as a chance to learn and improve, not as a setback.

He also stressed that, despite the varied reactions, the movie saw huge attendance primarily because of Rajinikanth sir. Lokesh openly recognized the superstar’s significant box office appeal, sharing that the producer told him Coolie had grossed approximately ₹500 crores.

He believes the audience’s affection and regard for Rajinikanth sir were crucial in making the film a commercial success, regardless of any negative comments. His decision to call the movie a “hit” reflects his perspective on the project.

Lokesh also extended his thanks to YouTubers, meme creators, digital platforms, the media, and the audience for consistently discussing Coolie. He observed that reviews, memes, online discussions, and even trolling helped the film remain relevant and visible for an extended period. All forms of interaction boosted its overall reach.

These discussions highlight the ongoing interest in Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial approach, Rajinikanth’s enduring box office power, and the broader landscape of Tamil cinema.
