Coolie is a 1983 Indian action-drama film directed by Manmohan Desai and starring Amitabh Bachchan, Waheeda Rehman, and Rishi Kapoor.

He is a hardworking and honest person who dreams of making a better life for himself and his family.

The plot of the movie revolves around Iqbal's life and his struggles to make ends meet. While working at the railway station, Iqbal meets a wealthy businessman named Ram (Rishi Kapoor). The two become good friends, and Ram helps Iqbal financially by giving him a loan to start his own business.

However, their friendship is short-lived as Ram's father (Kader Khan), who is a powerful businessman, opposes their friendship. He wants his son to marry a woman of his choice and become a successful businessman like him. Furthermore, Ram's father holds a grudge against Iqbal because he had filed a case against him in the past, and he was unhappy with the outcome.

One day, Iqbal gets caught in a scuffle between two gangs at the railway station, and he gets severely injured. As a result, he falls into a coma, and the doctors declare that he might not recover. This incident, along with the opposition from Ram's father, changes the course of the story.

The movie takes a dramatic turn when Iqbal's mother (Waheeda Rehman) is informed of her son's condition.

As the story progresses, the movie takes many twists and turns, and the audience is taken on an emotional rollercoaster. The movie has everything from action sequences to heart-wrenching scenes that leave the viewers in tears.

Furthermore, the chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Waheeda Rehman is heartwarming, and the story of a mother's unconditional love for her son adds depth to the movie.
