Since the release of Rajinikanth’s Coolie, social media has been filled with trolls and criticism. Many viewers have even called it the weakest film in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s career.
After its theatrical run, Coolie began streaming on Amazon Prime on September 11. Soon after, fresh trolls and memes took over social media platforms.
Amid these posts, one netizen made a comparison between directors Nelson Dilipkumar and Lokesh Kanagaraj. This post quickly went viral and sparked wide debate.
The post claimed Nelson Dilipkumar always works with a complete shooting script. This gives him clarity and avoids confusion on set. In contrast, it said Lokesh Kanagaraj skips detailed scripts, leading to confusion that he fixes later in editing.
It further stated that Nelson borrows single-line ideas inspired by Breaking Bad and adapts them in his own style. Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj was accused of taking references from many sources but failing to execute them properly.
The viral post also added that Nelson acts casual in interviews but delivers entertaining films, while Lokesh acts intelligent yet makes weaker films. Many netizens highlighted this as the sharpest point in the comparison.
These debates have fuelled arguments online, with some fans claiming Nelson Dilipkumar deserves more recognition. Others feel Lokesh Kanagaraj is overrated after two average films.
The Nelson vs Lokesh comparison continues to go viral on social media, drawing mixed opinions from cinema lovers.
