Coolie No. 1

I thought this movie will have elements of the old one and add some new angle to the storyline, but the entry of coolie no. 1, and unnecessary glorification, made me switch. sometimes I feel these people are done with their creativity and stuck in their glory days, which won't come back, they think these movies will still be a hit, yeah lets face it, the original was absurd but it was absurd with some acting which made it watchable. I cannot imagine Govinda-Kader Khan replaced, it is not possible. I switched to Ak vs Ak, a much better movie to watch

David Dhawan once again proved that everything has it's expiry and he himself is no exception. Although with highly capable and talented ensemble cast including his son Varun who has no lack of energy, comic acting capability and star material, the movie is a pain to watch. Does this basic norm David is not aware of... Comedy cannot be forced? From the very first scene where Paresh Rawal, originally played by Kader Khan with his formidable one liner, delivered his first line with chewing accent, you start feeling the stink. This is the 2nd occasion when an acting mastreo like Rawal fall flat in front of Kader khan after Himmatwala remake. And this torture follows with Rachpal (Shakti Kapoor), javed jafri (Sadashiv), Johni lever (Anupam kher) and last but not the least Varun (numero uno comedy king Govinda). Every scene was attempted to outdo the original version, keeping the dialogues /screenplay almost same but without the free flow of comedy spontaneity. So if one loved cooli no 1 (Govinda), he will be compelled to switch of the movie after half an hour max. Shame David, shame

This story was best suited for the 90's and should have been left alone. Watching this movie automatically put me in the comparison mode with the original where Govinda, Karisma and all the other supporting cast were effortless and supreme in their acting skills. In this movie, all the seasoned and veterans have lowered their skills and just lost the plot. The leading cast are pure disappointment. The movie is far from entertaining and can aptly be called pure torture. Watch it if you have no expectations and plenty of time to kill.

Was not having expectations whatsoever from the movie as I was knowing the magic of Govinda-David Dhawan cannot be created again. However, I liked Varun in Judwa remake somewhat. Decided to watch this movie but now regretting.

This is the remake of 1995 hit Coolie No 1 but fails to entertain as much as the original movie does, even now.

David dhawan sticks to the original story but many changes can be seen in the movie. Obviously this movie has been shot in 2020 so the set looks more modern and vivid but it misses the touch of old hit.

Speaking of the performances, none of the actors seem to be entertaining the audience. Govinda's charisma and performance was misseed sorely throughout the movie. Varun comic timing in this movie is the worst. I have seen Varun's performance and he is a good actor but here he falls flat.

Kadar Khan's character was the soul of the movie apart from govinda's character. Here Paresh Rawal tries but he fails in delivering a memorable role. He is a great actor no doubt but he fails here big time.

Sara Ali Khan doesn't impressed me a bit.

This film should not have been made in the first place. No need for a remake if you can't offer something new to the audience. Moreover you are insulting the old classic and here, the old classic is made by you, David Dhawan.

Sad and totally disappointing end to the year.

The title is enough to describe the movie in one word. Back in 90's there was a different Bollywood. There were typical recipe masala movies, which sole purpose was to provide, typical song filled, funny (in a way) with a little drama and action based movies, in other words a good time pass movies with no sense at all. But Bollywood has changed now, with movies coming with a subject, message and some serious acting. David Dhawan back in 90's was the typical paisa wasool type director / producer, but that formula is long gone. Varun Dhawan, a good actor, but still finding his name in the industry, going for such movie will not help with its cause. Judwa re-make perhaps an idea which should have remained till that only, making re-makes, word by word, scene by scene but with more horrible overacting could be a disaster and this is what this movie is all about. Sara Ali Khan, an item figure and nothing more, she has to learn a lot and do a serious film, otherwise, wont be here for too long. Shikha Talsania, wasted, completely wasted in the movie. The movie has nothing new to offer, over acting by Varun in each and every scene, might be entertainment in cinema for few but over all a horrible thing to watch online.
