    One roller-coaster ride of JOKES

    Coolie No. 1 is one of the funniest film of the decade. Govinda became possibly known for being a comedy King after this Movie. His earlier work Raja Babu was another Entertainer. Shakti Kapoor won the best comedian for this movie and truly deserved it. The movie has action, romance, family drama and lots of comedy. The weakness in this movie has to be Karishma Kapoor. Karishma Kapoor is one of Bollywood worst actresses. Most of her films are either Flops or Hits because of the actor. Every Karishma Movie I've seen had a deja vu of her always acting childishly immature. Perhaps the director know's this before casting or she just suits the dim witted character like her sister Kareena. Anyway the movie still is a Pure Entertainer. Thanks to Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor the famous comedy duo. Above all Govinda.

    Awesome comedy

    When I watched this movie as a kid honestly I loved and I've no second thought that I loved Govinda's comic timing with a flavors of legends like Kadar Khan Sir and Shakti Kapoor... Btw Varun's Coolie remake has been made just for us to realize how good the original movie was...

    Rip off of Tamil "Chinna Maaplai"

    RATED 7/10 Language: Hindi Source: Hotstar

    I started to watch because this is blockbuster. After 10 minutes realised that it is remake (rip off) of "Chinna Maapillai". Lost interest on that point. Just for Govinda and songs completed this one.

    No one can match with Crazy Mohan dialogs in the original one. As I liked the Tamil version more, this one not stick in my mind.

    One time watchable for the story that explores the comedy in each and every scene.

    I would suggest to watch the original one than this one.

    Watch It for Govinda & Kader Khan!

    'Coolie No. 1' deserves a watch for the sheer magic of Govinda & Kader Khan. The Supremely Talented Actors, pitch in incredible performances, that stand out.

    'Coolie No. 1' directed by David Dhawan, was a Box-Office Smash Hit back in 1995. It's an entertaining film, that is worth your time. A Story about complications within a few people, unfolds on screen, with some really entertaining moments.

    The Writing Material is up-to the mark, while the Dialogue are excellent. Dhawan's Direction is nice. Cinematography & Editing are decent. Music by Anand-Milind & Shyam-Surender, is foot-tapping. Performance-Wise: Govinda & Kader Khan, as told, deliver incredible performances. And even their on-screen chemistry, is top-notch. Sadashiv Amrapurkar & Shakti Kapoor are funny, as well. Karisma Kapoor is passable. Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Harish, Kanchan & Mahesh Anand lend good support.

    On the whole, A Must See for Govinda & Kader Khan devotees!
