@PrimeVideo #coolieno1 @Varun_dvn @SaraaliKKhan surprised even copying frame to frame , falls flat on screenplay, dialogues, acting, expressions. Songs total garbage remix, editing is blunder. @govindaahuja21 all time great. Please never remake govinda sir movie again.

Not at all impressive #CoolieNo1 can't even think to compare with 90s Cult Classic Coolie. Highly disappointing . @Varun_dvn #SaraAliKhan #DavidDhawan @PrimeVideoIN

Now v need to watch some fresh content .

However, not all who were tweeting about Coolie No. 1 had negative things to say. Some even liked the movie.

And yes what I forgot to say is that @Varun_dvn and #SaraAliKhan look absolutely ravishing together . They made up a good pair in this film ! I really loved their chemistry and would be looking for them in future too .. Merry CHRISTMAS to everyone... #coolieno1

#CoolieNo1 - 3.5/5

Varun actually did a decent job. He mimicked mithun very well. This movie is made for theatres & mass audience. would have been hit if it was released in theatres. i liked first half more than second half. Songs are lit ?? pic.twitter.com/PaZCDN1ld2

Coolie No. 1 was originally expected to release on May 1, 2020, but it got delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, it was announced that the film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on December 25. 

This the second time that the father-son duo of Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan have remade a comedy from the 1990s. In 2017, they had made Judwaa 2 which was a reboot of the 1997 Salman Khan starrer Judwaa, which was also directed by David Dhawan.
