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.

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
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 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.

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.
