Shaadiram Gharjode ([[Sadashiv Amrapurkar]]), a matchmaker, is once humiliated by Hoshiyar Chand Choudhry ([[Kader Khan]]) when Shaadiram goes to inform him about a family wanting to marry their son to Hoshiyar's daughter. Hoshiyar Chand insults them as he wants both his daughters to marry into the richest family. Shaadiram decides to teach Hoshiyar Chand a lesson. He meets Raju Coolie ([[Govinda (actor)|Govinda]]), a bus stop [[porter (carrier)|porter]] who wants to get married. They go to Hoshiyar Chand's village pretending to be a rich family. Raju is dressed as Kunwar Mahendra Pratap Mehta, Shaadiram is dressed as his secretary and Raju's best friend, Deepak Mechanic ([[Harish Kumar (actor)|Harish Kumar]]) is dressed as his [[Chauffeur|driver]]. Hoshiyar Chand is impressed and he wants his daughter Malti Choudhry ([[Karisma Kapoor]]) to marry Raju, leading to humorous situations.

== Music ==
The music of Coolie No. 1 was popular when it released. Although producer of Tips films [[Vashu Bhagnani]] and director [[David Dhawan]] were extremely confident that "Husn Hain Suhana", rendered by [[Abhijeet Bhattacharya|Abhijeet]] and [[Chandana Dixit]] would be the selling factor of the album, it was the song "Main To Raste Se Ja Raha Tha" that did the trick. The music of Coolie No. 1 strengthened [[Anand-Milind]] and Govinda/David Dhawan's track record of coming up with super hit music with each outing.

The film's soundtrack album sold around 3.5{{nbsp}}million units,<ref name="Outlook">{{Cite journal |date=13 March 1996 |title=Making Music Like Ne'er Before |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/making-music-like-neer-before/200987 |journal=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]}}</ref> making it one of the best-selling [[Bollywood soundtrack]]s of the year.<ref name="boi90s">{{Cite web |date=2 January 2010 |title=Music Hits 1990–1999 (Figures in Units) |url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=284&catName=MTk5MC0xOTk5 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100205042906/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=284&catName=MTk5MC0xOTk5 |archive-date=5 February 2010 |website=[[Box Office India]] |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
