While the visuals have impressed many - particularly Shoubin Shahir's energetic performance, which some say overshadowed Pooja Hegde's sex appeal - the song itself hasn't struck a chord with everyone.

Similar reactions followed the release of the first single, "Chikitu", which created initial buzz but fizzled out shortly after.

That said, many still trust Anirudh to come through with the next track, and for now, the visuals alone are helping to keep the hype alive.

But the larger concern isn't just the songs.

So far, everything released from Coolie has been decent but not groundbreaking. The announcement teaser was okay, Chikitu didn't really stand out musically, and while Monica looks impressive visually, it hasn't made a lasting impact.

The only promotional content that truly clicked was the "Powerhouse Promo." Fans now feel that a powerful, well-edited trailer is absolutely crucial to take the hype to the next level.

Right now, something feels missing.

There's also growing criticism around director Lokesh Kanagaraj. When he began his career with Maanagaram and Kaithi, he brought a fresh, grounded style to Tamil action cinema. Even Master had a distinctive flavor, though flawed.

But after Vikram, many feel Lokesh's style has become more mainstream and formulaic. Though Vikram was a big hit, it marked the start of that shift.

With Leo, critics argue he fully leaned into commercial clichés, losing the originality that once made his work stand out.

Now, some fans feel Lokesh is no longer different from other mass filmmakers like Nelson. They believe he's playing it safe, aiming to cater to star-driven commercial cinema, rather than telling bold, rooted stories like before.

This is exactly why expectations from Coolie are sky-high - fans want to see if Lokesh Kanagaraj can still bring his unique touch, or if he's now fully transitioned into big-budget, formula-driven safe filmmaking.
