The month of August is here and the discharge of Coolie is lower than two weeks away. The thrill for it’s sky-high because it marks superstar Rajinikanth’s first film with blockbuster filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. Meanwhile, in a big development, the film has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). This was confirmed by the producers, Sun Pictures, on their official social media accounts today at 6:00 pm.
BREAKING: Coolie is Rajinikanth’s FIRST film in 36 years to be awarded an ‘A’ certificate by CBFC; will it affect its prospects within the Hindi speaking markets?
Interestingly, in greater than 3 ½ many years, Rajinikanth’s movies haven’t received ‘A’ rating. His movies have essentially been lapped up by the audience of all ages but Coolie will clearly be an exception. Within the 80s, several of his movies got an adult rating, like Puthukavithai (1982), Ranga (1982), Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985), Netrikkan (1981), etc. Oorkavalan (1987) can be said to be ‘A’ rated, as per his fans, but Bollywood Hungama couldn’t confirm it. Siva (1989) was the last film of the mega star to be awarded an ‘A’ certificate. In other words, Coolie is Rajinikanth’s first adult film in 36 years. Interestingly, Coolie can be Lokesh Kanagaraj’s first adult film ever.
Coolie is all set to clash with one other gigantic film, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, on August 14. With the film being given an adult rating, it stays to be seen whether its prospects will probably be affected, especially within the Hindi-speaking markets, more so when it faces tough competition from the YRF Spy Universe saga. But then, the success of movies like Animal (2023), Kabir Singh (2019) etc. have proved that A-rated movies can even excel big time on the ticket window, in the event that they get widespread acceptance from the audience.
Coolie’s much-awaited trailer will probably be out tomorrow, that’s, August 2. It’s keenly awaited as that might finally give an idea of how well it may possibly work within the Northern belt. The film also stars Aamir Khan and Nagarjuna in supporting roles.
