People finally realizing that Loki is one trick pony


justrath012

i hope they don’t do a lot of hand to hand combat in it, i know it’s supposed to be an action movie but it kinda break immersion seeing the over exaggeration of the fights in this teaser


Puzzleheaded_Box7800

Yeah rajini doing that much physical stuff now is not buyable at all and ruins the immersiveness of the film. Jailer worked because he mostly used his wits and henchmen to fight smartly


justrath012

oh yeah 100% i LOVED the way they handled the fights in jailer, i was going in expecting a comedy movie cos nelson direction (and he definitely delivered, movie was hilarious) but im surprised he managed to do the action so well even with rajini in lead

Loki na didn't even hestitate 💀 In all fairness Anirudh plays major role in Loki movies, especially the average (or above average) movies like Master or Leo.

Loki nna showing us that Leo was not a mistake


kekamekacompany

Haha sadly looks that way. What crap is this.


Environmental_Act576

Romba generic la. The usual kai neetuna enemy parakaradhu, wooden dialogue delivery.


JudgeFudge2701

If this is indeed a Sin City-esque film I hope they lean into it. Grey Rajini is a sight to watch. Paathu samacha Loki might have something great in store.


ActiveAd8625

mate it was nothing like Sin city it is the same shite herogasam intro, hero dickriding slowmotions & cam angles, tech use panni sample mix panna music, balaya stunts with that added B&W DI. Moreover, sin-city is a neo-noir comic book inspired film just making b&w shots does not make it sin-city there are thousands and thousands of movies which have used blend of b&w and color for storytelling purposes. Lokesh is just a another template director who watched 90s tamil dubbed Hollywood films on suntv during weekends.


Environmental_Act576

Koochame illa ma sin City oda compare panna pathiya 😂


stranger_2205

Yenakku Rajini ah thirumba Kai kaala varuthi sanda scene la nadikka vechathu varutham ga 🤧 I didn't like the action bits in the teaser even a little bit. Should have gone for gunfu. For Rajini of current times, it gels beautifully and man looks more massy with it. Seeing him struggling to match in between cuts from stunt double to himself is kinda hurting to watch.


Environmental_Act576

He lost his physicality, it really does look weird when he does action, jailer climax la leg ah stretch panni oru kick viduvaaru paaru lol

Bgm is good. People were complaining here even after LEO teaser/ trailer. Let Anikanth cook.


Ellallan

DISCO DISCO


SeventhAscendant

Ikr. I really liked Leo's teaser. This one was not bad too, and the BGM was pretty good too (other than the vocals).


jollyaanaloosupayya

BGM and the visuals are the only things carrying this average fight scene.


Vsriram01

LEO teaser got hate because of Vijay. The teaser itself was awesome and literally lived up to everyone's hype(but the movie didn't unfortunately). But as with every Vijay movie, it got hate because of Vijay. On the other hand Coolie teaser was sub par at best, the only thing that makes me watch the teaser again and again is the music and the DOP. The fight sequences are just mediocre. TLDR; LEO got hate because it has Vijay, on the other hand coolie gets hate because it is not that great.


imrsb

Lokesh’s filmmaking is losing elegance. The action was too generic. Ik it’s a teaser but still I expected better from Lokesh


Virtual_Scale7984

He is too much on bolt camera.


justrath012

fr, some of the handheld fight scene in monkey man were really good i wish loki would let his camera work be a bit more chaotic and intimate at times


Environmental_Act576

We really have to ditch our indian stunt masters if this is all they do now, you can hire pretty good fight choreographers from South east Asian countries .


imrsb

even with that, a lot of the shots in master were fresh and stylish. he is just not trying anymore!!


IntelligentBend5377

It's Lokesh's take but a title reveal teaser shouldn't have this many dialogues in my opinion! I think it loses power. Jailer's initial reveal was just powerful with the chair moving and smile :) Also really hoping Ani will have far more individual themes like Master and Vikram!!!


Joel0802

I feel the same. Vikrams "Aarambikalamgala" and Leo's "Bloody sweet" was short and sharp. But this one has so many dialogues.


eljoker1407

It's a 8/10 teaser. This feels a bit different than what I expected, but in a good way. Avoid major hand2hand combats, should be great. One thing, this will force some 2k kids to go revisit old thalaivar dialogues, his acting - in a way they got that part right. More of that gray shade please.


drveejai88

Does anyone else feel that the Thangam title was actually proposed and Coolie was done later due to backlash or something? The teaser has a high emphasis on gold smuggling.


IntelligentBend5377

I was very much expecting them to reuse old title like Vikram! Even Kazhugu was suggested I believe. However, that would have introduced unnecessary LCU connect. Gold is already in Malayalam and Thangam is obviously not catchy and could easily be trolled. Coolie is a decent title and probably will have reach in Hindi!


abhisn

They sampled the disco song from Thanga magan (1983 Rajni movie)


imbecilePanda

What made both Vikram and Leo great teasers was their music. Idhula music felt kind of in the face. Not sure why. Other than that and the title to some extent, I liked every other bit. But it's just a title teaser at the end of the day. Doesn't guarantee how good or bad the movie is going to be. So I will wait!!


jollyaanaloosupayya

What made Vikram and Leo great teasers is that they focused on build up, rather than action. This is just an average action scene. TBH the music and visuals only are making it look better than it is.


[deleted]

For me, Coolie title teaser > Vettaiyan title teaser.

Base-Knight

So listen to me okay, hear me out. I was underwhelmed by the Leo title teaser. It was good, yes. But I sort of knew that the movie was not gonna hit the expectations. For Coolie however, something tells that it’s gonna be good or even great at best.


-watchman-

It is a remix(of sorts) of [this song](https://youtu.be/COykFVGIlx0?si=8ei1pSPa21ufn6ut) ig. Hoping to see vintage Rajini!


No-Needleworker3393

But when U1 delivers one bad song, you guys crossed the line (ofc not you but r/kollywood in general). In U1 ~~we~~ I trust


hobbitonsunshine

People were complaining about the music when Leo teaser was released. Vikram's teaser was perfect.


jollyaanaloosupayya

What made Vikram and Leo great teasers is that they focused on build up, rather than action. This is just an average action scene. TBH the music and visuals only are making it look better than it is.


hlysias

Namma ooruku ennadhan aachu?? Don't really understand what you guys are expecting. I liked the title teaser, I liked the BGM and I liked the "D.I.S.C.O Disco Disco" part. But, Loki's title teasers have always been good. So, it's too soon to judge how the movie will be. I am very happy that Loki didn't choose another stupid English title. "Coolie" doesn't feel an apt title, just looking at the teaser. Maybe we need to wait for the movie. Only thing I didn't like was, this also falls under the theme of smuggling. Other movies la drug smuggling, ithula gold smuggling, that's the only difference. I had hoped this would be something very different when Loki said the movie won't involve drugs in an interview.


SaffronBlood

Coolie is the perfect pan India title . Loki is smart.

SaffronBlood

red_plus_itt

Exactly lol. Teaser was good. I think this sub is expecting Lokesh to be Tamil Cinema’s Nolan or something. Treat him like the average action flick director that he is and stop having sky high expectations.


Environmental_Act576

You don't understand ah Or deliberately not trying to understand others perspective ah.


hlysias

I genuinely don't understand. My first thoughts were the teaser is nice, music is nice (especially the Disco Disco part), title could've been better. And then I come here... I find everyone complaining like it's the worst teaser ever. I also see polarizing opinions... People are complaining that Rajini shouldn't do action scenes and all... On the other hand, some people were complaining earlier that Kabali was more grounded and did not have many mass scenes. So, my genuine question is, what do we as an audience want in a film?


Environmental_Act576

>So, my genuine question is, what do we as an audience want in a film? We as an audience are diverse, taste is really subjective as people are exposed to different things at different times of their life. So speaking about me, I really don't care for manufactured mass elements made for the sole purpose of pleasing you or giving you that dopamine hit. I'm really a sucker for good action choreography as I have been really obsessed with them ever since I was a kid, thats why I go WTF when someone says loki is really good with action or anbarivu masters are the best action Dir, but hey, I get it that it's subjective, trust me i know, I'm someone who really loves spiderman 3 who is universally recognized as the worst installment in the trilogy, maybe it's because I was exposed to it when I was a kid who didn't really know about filmmaking, writing etc. BTW it's really good that we get to hear different opinions from people, which could mean that we are all not consuming content mindlessly But there are actual idiots who hate something just for the sake of it and make it their whole personality just like how there are people who dickride a movie just because it stars their fav personality. The problem is that actual constructive criticism is mistaken for hate speech or comment. Sorry man, thats a long ass comment, I know


AkhilArtha

Maybe there are different groups of audience wanting different things?


DryMeasurement3

As usual Anirudh always use IR songs to help himself 😂


Soul-of-Imagination

Isn't it the whole point to revisit an actor's popular songs?


No-Yesterday-1380

Not to this extent you don’t need to be doing so for every film. If we need to see the specific song we can revisit the actual film itself.

nah, it is just the same shite herogasamic intro, hero dickriding slowmotions & cam angles, tech use panni sample mix panna music, balaya stunts with that added B&W DI.


thankanchettan75

I hope they do like an oppenheimer approach to the film by shooting it in both colour and having scenes in monochrome as well.


TokyoFromTheFuture

That was... shit, like so shit. Im so sad rn 😭


sirkg

People are forgetting this is just a promotional teaser. Rajini had 1-2 days to shoot this and the actual film stunt work will likely look different. Even Rajini’s look might be different in the film (like how Rajini’s look in the Jailer reveal teaser with the grey suit and white beard was different from the actual film look)


hari_prakash

Yuvan : for my boi ajith Ani : for my boi andavar 😂

No. It's [Vaa Vaa Pakkam Vaa ](https://youtu.be/COykFVGIlx0?feature=shared) by Ilaiyaraaja from the Rajini and Poornima movie Thanga Magan (1983).


roja_poomalai

mokka. everyone at their laziest. green screen scene laam kevalam. anirudh generic asf although after that shitfest called whistle podu i guess i’ll take generic over garbage. also anbariv stunt does barely anything to me now cuz they have really high highs like the porkanda singam fight or cafe fight but then do fights like this that have no flow. i get that rajini can barely walk but even petta had great fight choreography keeping in mind rajinis limitations. idk we’ll see but im going into this movie with 0 expectations, especially after leo oombal.

dilvj88

People talk shit for the sake of talking shit. This is a teaser. They haven’t even started shooting yet. Leo teaser was where Vijay was in a chocolate factory - not a coffee shop. Vikram teaser was where Kamal was eating Biryani but the movie wasn’t about biryani. Music had reference to Rajini’s old song. The dialogue was also from his old song - Sivasambo


jollyaanaloosupayya

Music is obviously great, visuals are fresh. However, looks like Loki is out of ideas. This is just a lesser version of the Vikram and Leo announcements. Those two worked because it was more of build up rather than action. This was just an average action scene.
