The fever surrounding Coolie has reached unprecedented heights as fans scramble to secure tickets for the earliest possible screenings. In some theatres, prices for the coveted “first show” seats have skyrocketed to ₹4,500, yet demand shows no sign of slowing.
The Rajinikanth-starrer, which blends high-octane action with the superstar’s trademark style, has created a frenzy across South India and beyond. Enthusiasts from Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh are crossing state borders to Tamil Nadu to catch the earliest screenings, with many booking travel weeks in advance. “Watching Thalaivar first day, first show is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill,” said one fan who travelled overnight from Hyderabad to Chennai.

Reports from cinema chains reveal that early morning shows — some starting as early as 4 a.m. — were sold out within minutes of release. Social media is flooded with videos of ticket counters swarmed by crowds, and fan clubs are organising special celebrations, from dhol beats to massive cutouts draped in garlands.
Industry analysts say the “Coolie craze” could push opening day collections into record territory. “Rajinikanth’s brand power is unmatched, and this is proof that theatrical magic still works,” noted trade expert Ramesh Bala.
With such hype, Coolie is set to be more than just a movie release — it’s a cultural event, complete with devotion, drama, and the kind of mania only Rajinikanth can command.
If you’d like, I can also make a more dramatic version with fan quotes, street celebrations, and even black-market ticket stories. That would really capture the chaos.
