If you are a film buff, this Friday is a dream come true. It’s a Friday that has Bollywood fans buzzing like never before. Two massive blockbusters released today, each riding on superstar power, high-octane action, and high anticipation. This has set the stage for one of the year’s most epic box office battles. On one side, there’s Coolie, a masala entertainer with Rajinikanth in a role that his fans love to see him in. On the other, War 2 is the adrenaline-pumping spy action thriller, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. It’s day one for both the films and the verdict is already out. We look at Rajinikanth’s Coolie vs Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 review and what netizens are saying.
Both films come with their own loyal armies of fans, massive budgets for shoot and marketing and have created a major buzz for weeks. From leaked plots to trailer reactions and fan theories, the debate over which film will be the ultimate winner still continues. While several multiplexes are reporting early morning houseful shows, we compare the online reviews.
Coolie vs War 2
Coolie
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie marks Rajinikanth’s return to the action-comedy space, in what also happens to be his 50th year in the movies. With whistle-worthy dialogues, impressive stunts, and a mass appeal, fans are hailing the release of the film as a festival release in itself, with massive cutouts, early-morning shows, and elaborate fan celebrations in South India and beyond.
War 2
Siddharth Anand’s War 2 is the latest instalment in the YRF Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan comes back in his role as Kabir, while Jr NTR makes his Bollywood debut as the villain in Bollywood’s biggest action franchise. With Kiara Advani as the female lead against the backdrop of exotic global locations, the film promises to be a grand visual experience.

Nagarjuna steals d show.
Soubin okish.
Interval block : 👍👍

This film is a treat for both fans & casual viewers, blending fastpaced, engaging storytelling with great technical work. The first half sets up the story perfectly, with a screenplay… pic.twitter.com/uVR4HPEbUt

War 2 is full of action and thrill! 🔥 Hrithik is stylish as ever, NTR Jr. is full of energy, Anil Kapoor is classy, and Kiara is amazing with beauty and power. A true blockbuster from start to end! 💥🎬

#OneWordReview…#War2: DISAPPOINTING.

Rating: ⭐½
Weakest film in #YRFSpyUniverse… Has star power, scale, style, stunts – but lacks soul… Writing is the biggest culprit here… Not even #HrithikRoshan and #NTR can save this royal mess! #War2Review pic.twitter.com/4cgJEq0Ljp
Disappointed by #War2. the film falls short with worst VFX, NTR giving warning to hrithik is biggest comedy

NTR wasted in a side role again, zero screen presence, pathetic dance, worst looks, @tarak9999 is the biggest minus in movie👎#DisasterWar2#SideCharacterNTR#War2Review pic.twitter.com/AVanCnN8g4
