What is the story of the film?

In the year 1995, David Dhawan made 'Coolie No. 1' with renowned artists like Govinda, Karishma Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor and Sadashiv Amarpurkar. Once again in 2020, David Dhawan has come up with the same story. The film is a remake but neither David Dhawan nor his fellow writer Rumi Jaffrey has made the effort to change the story. The story is the same. Is a pundit. Who wants to break the pride of a rich man. He is a coolie who falls in love with a rich young lady at first sight. Pandit and Coolie go on lying together. Comedy by showing a double role of the same person. In the end, pride is broken, love is found and happy ending occurs.

Film Review

David Dhawan and his screenplay writer Rumi Jaffrey have tried to make the 1995 film Grand in 2020. Bigger house than the first movie, bigger car, banger dance, high pitch music and some dialogues as of today. Overall, the old bottle has a new liquor in 2020's 'Coolie No. 1'.

How is the work of the artists?

Varun Dhawan has tried to make Govinda's estimate through this film. However, it has not been successful. 1995's 'Coolie No. 1' is one such film. Which everyone from theater to TV must have seen. Because of this, as a viewer, you must know the story. What's going to happen next. You know that too. You can also guess whether the dialogues will speak. So the biggest challenge was to make this film even more fun than before. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

The work of other artists with the same lead

However, Varun Dhawan has had a lot of fun on his own. The film manages to entertain as well as inform. Varun mimicked everything from Amitabh Bachchan to Nana Patekar in the film. However, in the end he stops at Mithun Chakraborty. Sara Ali Khan had a lot to do. The same is true of Shikha Talsania. However, the character of Sahil Vaidya Raju's friend Deepak seems to be fine.

Gorgeous 90's story

Kadar Khan will be replaced by Paresh Rawal this time. Paresh Rawal has definitely tried to differentiate himself from the previous film in which he is very jammed. His sharpness as a businessman from Goa does not surpass that of Hoshiarchand of the previous film but runs parallel to it. 'Coolie No. 1' is a comedy film but the audience will not laugh much. The story of the 90's has become very grand in modern times. This is why everything on screen looks beautiful and cool. Rajpal Yadav is good but he could not do better than Shakti Kapoor. To some extent Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever need to succeed in laughing.

Lack of chemistry between

Govinda and Kadar Khan The Govinda and Kadar Khan duo had strong chemistry in the 90s. The same thing was seen in Coolie No.1. The chemistry between Varun Dhawan and Paresh Rawal seems to be disappearing. The story of the film goes on but it does not show the effect. The love story of Sahil Vaidya and Shikha Talsania seems to have been pushed.

How is the music of the film?

If there is talk of film music then it is worth listening. Varun Dhawan is a good dancer and he has done his job very well. The duo of Sara and Varun looks good in the song. There are many songs that will make you dance. The remake of 'Husn Hai Suhana' has been very cool but 'Mirchi Lagi' could have been made even better.

Should I watch a movie or not?

Varun Dhawan's film was released on the OTT platform during the Corona transition. However, viewers with a Premier subscription can look for a timepass. However, if the film had been released in theaters in normal times, the first two days of the festive season would have had a clear impact on earnings. All in all, if you want to spend time in a festive atmosphere, you can definitely watch the film, but if you want to have a good time with friends and family, there is another option.
