released
on

last
week

to
go
the
digital
way
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Coolie
No.

is
a
remake
of
Govinda-Karisma
Kapoor's
1995
by
the
same.
The
film
helmed
by
David
Dhawan,
received
mixed
reviews.
While
some
enjoyed
Varun-Sara's
chemistry,
there
were
others
who
bashed
the
film
for
its
dated
humour.
Many
Govinda
fans
also
criticized
Varun
for
remaking
the
actor's
cult
film.
After
all
the
trolls
and
negative
reviews,
Coolie
No.
1
has
now
become
one
of
the
lowest
ranking
films
on

Besides
the
backlash,

also
invited
many

and

on

One
of
the
scenes
in
the
film,
a
train
sequence
in
which
Varun
saves
a
kid
sitting
on

tracks,
was
heavily
criticized
for
its
poor

Meanwhile,
Shikha
Talsania
Defended
The
Film
Against
Poor
Reviews
The
actress
who
essays
the
role
of
Sara
Ali
Khan's
sister
in
the
film, said
that
humour
is
subjective,
and
that
a
handful
of
negative
reactions
doesn't
offer
a
full
picture.
She
further
said
that
the
viewers
can
choose
to
watch
what
they
enjoy.
