The performances are all so rudimentary and by the numbers that it would be futile to rate them. There is something seriously wrong with a film that wants to be a laugh riot but does not have the wherewithal to cash in on Javed Jaffery’s presence in the cast. He, like the rest, goes through the motions, summing up a comedy that would have been laughed out of the theatres had it made it to the big screen.
The film’s music is catchy and the songs are well-shot with all the shenanigans of a grand Bollywood potboiler in place. It makes for a good watch, but the ‘Mirchi lagi’ song deserved a much better remake. Oh, and that’s true for the film as well. So the only trick to get entertained by this insanity is to admit how loud and pointless it is without comparing it with the original.
The time for constructed-on-paper-plots has long gone. It’s painful to see passable actors go through jerky scenes and terrible laugh tracks. Varun and Sara dancing to the still popular songs (“Tujhko mirchi lagi toh main kya karoon”) take you straight back to the OG. The only one who makes a meal of his character, played by the inimitable Kader Khan in the original, is Paresh Rawal. His heavy-handed papa uses a light touch, which is exactly what’s needed in this kind of brainless comedy. Dhawan Jr has done much better under his papa’s baton. And sadly, the sprightly Sara Ali Khan is as vacuous as the script.
We can do with laughter in these dark times, but not like this, with zero wit, no flair.
This is a time when Hindi cinema is putting forth out-of-the-box content that’s far from being mindless. The world that makes up the new Coolie no 1 doesn’t manage to suspend disbelief and buy into the comedy. Lines such as ‘what ego ego, you go man’, ‘of the train, by the train and for the train’ and ‘1p.m. one-time baat with the PM’ aren’t even funny. And in 2020, a rich hotelier from Goa who wants to visit his daughter and son-in-law in Mumbai is likely to fly down rather than take the train.
There’s no harm in remaking an old blockbuster for a newer audience but it may have benefited from a more contemporary absurd comedy.

“Heaven on the docks man. This new coolie sucks, man”.
Rephrasing this only value add in dialogue if you discount those nonsense swears like Maa ka Ghosla and Juhu Scheme ki something, Coolie No 1, released on Amazon Prime on Christmas day, appears like an amateur spoof of the original.
Not that the 1995 blockbuster was a classic material on paper, Coolie No 1 was elevated significantly only by its lead actor Govinda who was in top form then. Here, Varun Dhawan ends up mimicking him in each and every scene reminding you of what great an actor Govinda is. Even the otherwise dependable Paresh Rawal falls woefully short of the legendary Kader Khan’s comic timing.
Sara Ali Khan appears lost throughout the film. The lady seriously needs to join an acting academy pronto in case she is still interested in her career. As for the supporting cast, they are so godamn bad that you really miss Kanchan, Harish and Mahesh Anand from the original.
David Dhawan has just indulged in a blatant copy paste job of his past success with zero upgrade in terms of creativity or technique. Farhad Samji’s dialogues are in rhyming couplets stooping to Kanti Shah’s notorious level. The sets are even more garish than the original.
As for that Mithun da mimicry, I’ve said it earlier in my Ludo (2020) review; repeating it again, let these naya bachchas achieve 10% of what the thrice National award winner Mithun Chakraborty did in his life before mocking him like this. Pathetic!!
Coolie No 1 is a bad – very bad – remake of the original. It is also a highly forgettable fare. Bhooli no 1, then!!!

Sumeet Nadkarni.
