Rajinikanth’s Coolie finally arrived on Prime Video, but for many Telugu-speaking fans the excitement quickly turned into disappointment. While the film is available in Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada without issues, the Telugu version refuses to play on TV apps. On mobile devices the stream works fine, but those who prefer watching on larger screens are left frustrated.
Several users tried the usual fixes, from reinstalling the app to updating their devices, yet the problem still persists. For a film of this scale, with so much anticipation, this feels like a letdown. Fans who waited to enjoy Rajinikanth’s performance in Telugu on their home screens now find themselves forced to settle for smaller screens or switch languages, which defeats the purpose of a multilingual release.
Prime Video has been facing a streak of technical glitches in recent times, and this issue only adds to the growing list. Streaming platforms are supposed to make content accessible and seamless, but such lapses damage trust and weaken the joy of a premiere. When a movie that has already made waves at the box office comes to OTT, expectations are naturally high. A technical fault at such a moment feels careless.
It is sad that what should have been a celebration for Telugu audiences has turned into a struggle with technology. Fans deserve better, and Prime Video must address these glitches quickly before they affect future releases.
