Coolie No. 1

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.

Another terrible remake. If they want to do a remake why this? this is a really poor script. A lot of meaningless dialogues and those dialogues are supposed to be funny. About acting, is director wants actors to perform like that. They are overacting none of them were good to me. I was disappointed with Varun's performance. One of Sara Ali Khan's previous movie Simmba has these kinds of silliness. There is a director just for credits that's it. Even without this director, this movie could be made. Even you are a fan of the original movie or cast I do not recommend this to you.

I have seen you in October and I know you can act and probably want to do more movies like October.

Please go ahead and make movies such as Coolie No.1 for the masses and be proud of it. But also consider your viewers who do access OTT platforms. With no judgement, you know that the viewers of theaters and the OTT and very very different, so you ought to take opportunities in OTT shows/series/movies wherein you need to do serious stuff like October.

I wish a very happy new year, you are better than this.

I wished this film had released so the producers could feel the disappointment with the film's earnings as I was disappointed with its content.

The bad remixes, over-acting of Varun Dhawan, the constant attempt by director and actor of Dhawans to copy everything Govinda did.

Varun should stick to dancing in ABCD films. Clearly he cannot do something of his own!

One cannot copy Govind. Sure it worked (financially) with Salman's Judwaa remake but it doesnt mean it ail keep working with all the remakes. Judwaa 2 was still too lavishly made but no content.

Johnny Levers comedy is misused. Javed Jaffrey is wasted talent. Poor Sara Ali Khan that kept waiting in the balcony for someone to save the film because the writers didnt give her a chance to do anything else but be eye candy.

Stay away and keep the original Coolie no.1 film's memory intact.
