Superstar Rajinikanth is back in action – literally – with his latest mega movie Coolie, and the box office is already in overdrive. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj (yep, the guy who gave us Leo), the film dropped in theatres on Thursday to a massive buzz.
The reviews? Well, they’re a mixed bag — some say it’s pure fire, others think it’s not his absolute best — but one thing’s for sure: Thalaivar fans are flocking to cinemas in huge numbers.
Amazon Prime Video Bags Rights for a Record ₹120 Crore
In what’s being called one of the biggest OTT deals in Tamil cinema history, Amazon Prime Video has secured the digital streaming rights for Coolie at a jaw-dropping ₹120 crore. That ties it with Vijay’s Leo for the top spot.
For context, that’s bigger than GOAT (₹110 crore) and even Rajini’s own Jailer (₹100 crore). Clearly, Amazon knows Rajinikanth = guaranteed eyeballs.

So… When’s the Coolie OTT Release?
Here’s the thing — big-ticket films like this usually land on OTT platforms about 4–6 weeks after their theatrical release. If Coolie continues to crush it at the box office (and early trends suggest it will), fans might have to wait until mid-September 2025 to stream it on Amazon Prime Video.
Of course, the official date hasn’t been announced yet, but we all know it’s coming soon.
Sun TV Gets the Satellite Rights
While Prime Video will host the online version, Sun TV has already scooped up the satellite telecast rights. That means when the film eventually hits TV, it’s Sun TV that’ll beam it into your living room.
What’s the Buzz About the Film?
The movie kicks off with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s trademark non-linear storytelling, picking up from a thrilling pre-interval segment. The de-aged flashback sequences of Rajinikanth have wowed audiences, and the superstar’s energy — especially in the last 40 minutes — is winning applause.
And it’s not just Rajini stealing the show. Nagarjuna and Upendra deliver strong performances, while Aamir Khan’s cameo adds extra weight. Fans are walking out of theatres pumped, and early estimates suggest the movie could pull in over ₹200 crore on Day 1 (yep, you read that right).

Amazon Prime’s Growing Rajinikanth Collection
Prime Video has been building a serious Rajinikanth library over the years. It already streams Jailer, Vettaiyan, and even classics like Enthiran (Robot) and Baasha. Once Coolie joins the lineup, Rajini fans will have one epic binge session waiting for them.
