Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan's Coolie No. 1 has been receiving negative reviews after it released on Amazon Prime Video on December 25. The film is a remake of the 1995 film of the same name starring Govinda and Karisma Kapoor. Both films have been directed by David Dhawan.
On IMDB, where users can rate a film, it has a dismal rating of 1.4. With this, Coolie No. 1 has the second lowest ratings, just marginally better than Sadak 2 that has a rating of 1.1. The Varun and Sara-starrer is below films such as Race 3 and Himmatwala on IMDb.
"2020 has been a difficult year and I don’t want to talk more about it, we all have experienced it. With ‘Coolie No 1’ our only intention is to make you laugh through our film.
"Hopefully, on December 25 you all will laugh with your family in a safe environment and then we move in 2021 on a happy note," Varun had said at the film's trailer launch event.
Coolie No 1 is the 45th film from David Dhawan, known for blockbusters such as Saajan Chale Sasural, Judwaa, Aankhen, Biwi No.1, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Partner.
