Chennai: Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest flick ‘Coolie’ hit the silver screens across Tamil Nadu on Friday, with frenzied fans celebrating the latest entertainer from their ‘Thalaivar’.
Significantly, the release of the movie coincides with Rajinikanth completing 50 years in cinema.
Crowds, mostly ardent fans of the star, swelled across cinema theatres early to catch the first day first show of the movie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
From the crack of dawn, fans gathered outside cinema halls armed with dhols, milk cans, banners, and fireworks, ready to welcome Thalaivar back in the grandest way possible.
The release morning was pure madness—in the best sense of the word. Videos flooded social media showing crowds dancing to thunderous drum beats outside theatres, cheering wildly, and draping massive cutouts of Rajinikanth with garlands.
In several places, milk abhishekam ceremonies took place, where fans poured milk over giant posters of the superstar, a tradition reserved for only the most revered figures in Tamil cinema.
The air was electric, filled with whistles, chants, and the unmistakable sense that this was more than just a movie release—it was a cultural event.
