Rajinikanth’s Coolie was one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. It also delivered strong box office numbers; however, it received a varied reception ranging from underwhelming to decent. The film was heavily criticised on social media. Now, former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film.

R Ashwin reacts to Coolie`s negative social media reviews

Speaking to Galatta Plus, Ashwin mentioned that he disagrees with the opinion that Coolie is not a good film. He shared, “There were many opinions on social media saying that Coolie was not a good movie. I have an issue with that opinion. I watched it when it came to OTT. I watched the film in one stretch without any distraction, and that’s my criterion for watching any film on OTT."
