The cinematic fever surrounding Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie continues to soar with the official release of the film’s Original Background Score (OST). Produced by Sun Pictures and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the action-packed spectacle now gets an audio identity of its own, thanks to Anirudh Ravichander’s electrifying compositions.
Anirudh, who has been consistently redefining the sound of Tamil cinema, once again delivers a soundtrack that balances raw mass appeal with global orchestral finesse. The OST, which has gone live across YouTube and streaming platforms, features over 20 tracks capturing pivotal moments from the film — from adrenaline-pumping action sequences to intimate emotional beats.
A Diverse Tracklist for a Mass Entertainer
The OST opens with the gritty “Harbour Gang”, setting the tone for Rajinikanth’s power-packed entry into Lokesh Kanagaraj’s gangsterverse. Tracks like “Deva Entry”, “Powerhouse Code”, and “Coolie Disco” embody the larger-than-life mass moments that Rajinikanth is celebrated for, while pieces such as “Photograph” and “Coolie Feels” bring in poignant emotional undertones.
Notably, “Monica Transition”, which has already gone viral among fans, and “Deva’s 3 Minute Monologue” stand out as masterful blends of storytelling and sound. The final medley, “Powerhouse x Disco”, concludes the album with a fusion of themes that underline Anirudh’s experimental flair.
Behind the Sound – A Massive Collaboration
The OST is the result of meticulous work by a host of talented musicians. Strings were performed by The Sunshine Orchestra and The Chennai Strings Orchestra, with orchestration and supervision by Balasubramanian G and Abishek V. The score also features global instruments including Dobro guitar, Bouzouki, Oud, Shamisen, and Ruan, played by Tapas Roy, while celebrated musicians like Keba Jeremiah (guitars) and Sajith Satya (bass) brought their expertise to the table.
Mixing for Dolby Atmos was handled by Vinay Sridhar at Knack Studios, Chennai, ensuring a theatrical listening experience even outside the cinema halls.
A Celebration for Fans
With Coolie already marking a sensational run at the box office and its songs becoming instant chartbusters, the release of the OST serves as yet another reason for fans to celebrate. Anirudh, through his official social media handles, shared the OST link with the tagline “#CoolieOST out now 🔥💃🏽🙌”, sparking widespread excitement.
Sun Pictures, too, amplified the release with the message “Edraa Headphones-ah🔥 #Coolie OST Jukebox is out now!”, urging fans to experience the BGM in full force.
For Rajinikanth fans, this OST is more than just music — it is a chance to relive the mass moments of Coolie in their purest audio form. For Tamil cinema, it stands as another milestone in the evolving collaboration between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Anirudh Ravichander, a duo consistently raising the bar for cinematic sound.
