Rajinikanth’s Coolie: Sun Pictures Moves Madras High Court Over CBFC’s ‘A’ Certificate

0

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, continues to dominate headlines after a massive start at the box office. The gangster action drama earned an impressive ₹400 crores in its first weekend, but collections witnessed a sharp dip in the following days due to mixed word of mouth.

Adding to the buzz, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) surprised everyone by granting Coolie an ‘A’ certificate — the first time in over three decades that a Rajinikanth film received this rating. The decision directly impacted box office numbers, as multiplexes restricted entry for children. Interestingly, audiences noted that the film didn’t feature extreme violence or objectionable content, which left many puzzled about the certification.

In a fresh development, Sun Pictures has approached the Madras High Court challenging the CBFC’s decision. The makers are seeking a directive to downgrade the film’s certification from ‘A’ to ‘U/A’, which could allow wider family audiences. However, netizens are questioning the timing of this move, pointing out that the delay might have already caused significant damage to the film’s commercial run.

Whether the High Court will rule in favor of the makers remains to be seen, but the controversy has added yet another layer to Coolie’s already eventful journey.
