Coolie No.1

I am fan of David Dhawan-Govinda movies...but this movie is an insult to his talent and name... First of all Sara Ali Khan should find some other career option, she can't act. Secondly, Varun shouldn't be considered a second Govinda...Govinda is a legend. We don't want a second Govinda. Third but not the least, talents like Paresh Rawal, Jawed Jaffery and Rajpal Yadav were misused...

Pls don't spoil the fun of 90s classics, by making such nuisance movies. I didn't have less than 1 star to give...so 1.

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

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.

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

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.
