Coolie: how we promoted it
A Kannada film campaign case study: 18 posts and 95.09 lakh views, with the month-by-month results and what worked.
The campaign
Coolie is a film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, starring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, released 14 Aug 2025. SouthSide Studio promoted it across Karnataka's largest Kannada meme and film network from 24 Sep 2024 to 22 Sep 2025: 18 posts, each measured post by post from the Meta API.
What the numbers show
- The audience peaked in Sep 2025, with 47.27 lakh views (50% of the campaign) from 1 post.
- 2% of the audience was built before the release month (Aug 2025), so the film arrived with an audience already watching.

- 18 posts over 4 months, averaging 5.28 lakh views per post.
