Chennai – Director Lokesh Kanagaraj and the team behind the much-awaited Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie have kept details of the film tightly under wraps, fueling intrigue among fans. But recent listings on movie platforms Letterboxd and Fandango have finally offered a glimpse into what the film is all about — and it promises a thrilling, high-stakes ride.
Coolie Plot Revealed
According to Letterboxd, Coolie follows the journey of Deva, a once-powerful gold smuggler, now aging, who hatches a plan to reunite his old mafia gang. The synopsis reads:
“An aging gold smuggler uses stolen tech hidden in vintage golden watches to revive his old mafia crew. But his plan to reclaim his empire spirals into something bigger, a new universe forged from crime, greed, and broken time.”
The recurring imagery of watches and gold in the film’s promotional teasers seems to tie directly into this storyline.
Meanwhile, Fandango offers a deeper emotional lens into Deva’s motivation:
“Delves into a man’s relentless quest for vengeance since youth, driven by righting past wrongs, shaping his very existence. Viewers experience the complexities of his tumultuous vendetta journey.”
Though Lokesh has remained tight-lipped in interviews, the emerging plot has only heightened fan excitement. With a mix of personal vendetta, lost time, and criminal legacy, Coolie appears poised to deliver a gritty emotional drama wrapped in action and intrigue.
