David Dhawan is back again
The undisputed baap of entertainment is back with his 45th film, along with his son, in a remake of the 1995 cult classic. Returning after a three-year gap, expect nothing but hilarious scenes, songs that will have you singing all day long along in what is set to be a laughter riot. Having already made five fantastic films in the No.1 series, David's set to smash the ball of entertainment out of the stands for a six and in some style. If Christmas was all about being in high spirits, David Dhawan has got the perfect tonic for the soul with this heavy dose of comedy.
Old wine in a new bottle
Well, if you don't like the fact that there's a remake of this film being made, all we can say is `Tujhe problem hua toh mein kya karu?`. The 1995 film Coolie No. 1 is one of those few comedy films in Bollywood that takes absolutely no time in raising our spirits. Could we ask for anything better this Christmas, we guess not. With the original having given us a host of memorable dialogues and songs that we fondly remember, we can't wait to see one of our favourite movies from the 90s in a new avatar.
Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan
Stepping into the shoes of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor is inarguably one of the toughest characters one could possibly choose to do. But if one had to see two stars pack a punch in a remake, Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan would certainly top that list. When it comes to Varun's comic timing and dancing skills, few actors in Bollywood match up to Dhawan junior. On the other hand, Sara's smile is infectious to say the least and we're pretty sure she will shake a leg making us miss Karisma all over again. If they ever star in other remakes down the years, remember that it all started with Coolie No. 1.
Two iconic songs remixed
Love them or hate them, but you can't ignore them. Yes, we're talking about remixes. Could you possibly imagine the craziness that would have followed had `Husn Hai Suhana` and `Tujhe Mirchi Lagi Toh` released if they had social media at that time? Just imagine the memes and GIFS. Well, come 25th December, every 90s kid is set to go down memory lane. A lane where we can hog on some roadside Bhelpuri and take a girl out. As far as Husn Hai Suhana goes, we can't wait to dance to the hook step and get trending on Tik-Tok. Brace yourself, for two songs are all set to break the internet this Christmas.
The Kings of Comedy as part of the ensemble cast
When it comes to David Dhawan and his movies, rest assured that in addition to the script and dialogues, the film will feature a host of characters who will leave you in splits. The same hold true for Coolie No. 1 for it features a fantastic four in the form of Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever. It certainly doesn't get any bigger and better than this quartet when it comes to comedy. While the trailer has given us a glimpse of what each one of them has in store, we're pretty sure that we'll be rolling on the floor in laughter come this Christmas.
