Coolie No 2 (2020) movie review
What is a sure shot formula for a movie's success? A good script, direction, acting or is it screenplay or none of the above. It is but rehash- and that's right, as this seems to be the current flavour for success. Refurbish one's own movies and serving it afresh with new production values, a new star cast and new settings. This is what David Dhavan has done with his own Coolie No 1  (this is his second one after Judwaa). Is it a dearth of new scripts, or did the director find some flaws in his original which he wanted to rectify (if that is the case, then he fails miserably) or was it a tribute to the original that was released in 1995 and now celebrating its Silver Jubilee year? The original Coolie No 1 with Govinda and Karishma was an entertainer and delight to watch. This time around he has taken his son Varun Dhavan to reprise the role of Raju coolie and Sara Ali Khan appears ....

Dhamaal movie review
As the name suggests, this is fun filled caper about four friends - Roy (Riteish Deshmukh), who believes that he is the best detective in the world; Manav (Javed Jaffery), who actually happens to be the biggest idiot in the world, but is blissfully unaware about it, Aditya aka Adi (Arshad Warsi), "Mr. know it all" and the fourth one is "Mr. scared of everything…" - Boman played by Ashish Choudhary in Dhamaal. They live and "work" together doing small time con jobs. They have never heard the proverb of earning an honest living. They get a break when trying to save a dying gangster Bose (Prem Chopra) shares a secret to these four chaps about his life's savings Rs 10 crores - which are hidden in a graveyard in Goa. Incidentally and unfortunately for these guys, it seems that the cop Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt) has been chasing Bose for the last ten years. He finally finds him when he ....
