Varun
Dhawan
and
Sara
Ali
Khan's
recent
release
Coolie
No.
1
which
premiered
on
Amazon
Prime
on
Christmas,
opened
to
negative
reviews.
The
film
was
bashed
for
its
dated
humour,
and
it
failed
to
impress
the
critics
as
well.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
Mid-day,
actress
Shikha
Talsania
who
plays
a
pivotal
role
in
Coolie
No.
1
defended
the
Varun-Sara
starrer
against
the
negative
reactions.
The
actress
said
that
humour
is
subjective,
and
that
a
handful
of
negative
reactions
doesn't
offer
a
full
picture.
Shikha
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Entertainment
can
be
different
for
different
people.
A
certain
kind
of
humour
works
for
me,
while
another
doesn't.
But,
I
can
choose
to
watch
what
I
enjoy."
Further,
Shikha
was
all
praise
for
director
David
Dhawan
and
told
the
tabloid,
"He
ensured
that
the
ambience
on
set
was
fun-filled,
and
he
gave
us
space
to
own
our
scenes."
On
being
asked
if
the
film
would
have
benefited
had
it
got
a
theatrical
release,
the
actress
said,
"We
can't
ignore
how
accessible
entertainment
has
become
today.
We
must
celebrate
the
fact
that
it
has.
The
magic
of
watching
a
film
in
a
theatre
is
unparalleled,
but,
OTT
has
been
a
saviour
in
this
scenario."
Earlier,
the
film's
leading
lady
Sara
Ali
Khan
had
opened
up
about
replicating
the
problematic
aspect
of
the
original
film
which
had
Govinda's
character
duping
Karisma
Kapoor's
character
into
falling
for
him.
Sara
had
said
that
if
one
views
everything
through
a
politically
correct
lens,
'any
scope
of
humour
in
our
lives
will
be
lost'.
Varun
Dhawan-Sara
Ali
Khan's
Coolie
No.
1
is
a
remake
of
Govinda-Karisma
Kapoor's
1995
film
by
the
same
name.
