Coolie review

Film business analyst Sumit Kadel, who gave 3.5 star rating to the action thriller, in his review stated,“The film is packed with non-stop twists and turns every 15–20 minutes. Coolie tells the story of how Deva goes to unimaginable lengths to avenge the death of his friend Rajshekhar and protect his daughters....Overall, while Coolie may not reach the exact heights of Vikram or Kaithi, it is still a very good film.”
