As the fight for justice collides with the ghosts of his past, Deva’s journey becomes a relentless battle of justice, loyalty, survival, and rebellion. The movie is produced by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures.

The Hindu review of the movie said, “Coolie, on paper, must have had the promised potential. It’s a grounded crime action drama with Rajini moments to keep it going. But if Lokesh’s previous films — like Kaithi, Master, and Vikram — say something, it is that a strong emotional core is the necessary ingredient to make even a realistically shot action drama feel real and present, and this core is what is missing in Coolie.”
