🚂 Superstar Rajinikanth teams up with Lokesh Kanagaraj in Coolie — one of the year’s most hyped Tamil releases. But did it live up to expectations?
In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Tarun break down the film’s highs and lows: Rajini’s screen presence, Anirudh’s score, underutilised stars, shaky logic, and why the second half completely derails. We also discuss Nagarjuna’s role, cameo overload, and where this leaves Lokesh after back-to-back disappointments.
