Bombay to Goa

If you enjoy comedy, I mean REALLY enjoy comedy, this is the movie for you! There are so many comedians in this movie that it is very easy to lose count. And also, I believe this is superstar Amitabh Bachchan's very first movie. It is also one of Shatrughan Sinha's first movies. But the BEST stars are Mehmood and his gang of cut-ups. Even the names of the bus driver and the conductor when put together are a tongue-in-cheek reference to one of the biggest superstars of that era - Rajesh Khanna. Why don't people make real comedies like this anymore??? My personal favorite scene is when the bus stops at a roadside snack stand and a hungry kid goes berserk when he sees a complete stranger eating some pakoras (fritters) that he suddenly decides he wants as well. The facial expressions of everyone involved had me in stitches long after the scene was over. You have to see this movie if you want to die laughing!!! Two thumbs, eight fingers, and ten toes up!!!

First of all, this is among my dad's favorite movies, Amitabh and Mahmood being his favorites. I, being a late 90s guy, didn't have much thrill to watch this one considering it's way too old. However, I gave it a try after convinced by dad. The story and the comedy kept me entertained from the first minute. Never have I ever enjoyed an old Bollywood movie the way I enjoyed this one. The role of the female actress was exceptional. It remembered me an era of of our culture where women were used to remain in the houses given the mentality of everyone (not only men) those days unlike the feminism evolving these days. They didn't have much freedom, which was very sad. However, I believe, men are not to be blamed for that act. I feel both should be given equal priorities and right although I see feminism evolving at a greater pace these days. Coming back to the story, many movies have some moments which keep audience entertained. In this one, i noticed lots and lots of moments that took place. Kishore Kumar was wonderful! He made the story take pace and give it meaning. Most of the comedy movies we watch do not concentrate much on the story part, but only comedy. This one has both. A great great story. After that, the comedy that is added with those lots of moments most of them involving the ride and Mahmood were awe-inspiring. Mahmood was sensational, so was Amitabh. These days you won't see such slim actors, but stunning six-pack, broad-chested, highly muscular bodies. However, I'm sure you do compromise for Acting. As the movie takes pace, the comedy and entertainment mounts. and you see more of Mahmood and Amitabh. With stunning comedy and adventure, the movie has a terrific climax too. In short, the movie is a complete package of fun and adventure. The Best: The bus Ride! The Worst: Shatrughn Sinha

At best and that too after judging it extremely liberally,this movie is an average movie with terrible performances and worse direction The USP NOW(and not 50 years ago when it was released in 1972)is watching an extremely ordinary looking actor called Amitabh Bachchan giving a very poor performance and wondering at how he made the miraculous transformation the next year in ZANJEER!

I found nothing at all in Amitabh Bachchan's performance,personality and voice to suggest that the very next year in 1973 and to date he would have continued to astound us with his amazing performances voice and personality.

ALL I WILL SAY IS THAT NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER Aruna Irani was his heroine in this film and 3 years later she was was an ordinary dancer doing a mujra in DEEWAAR. Such is the dynamics of Showbiz.

5/10,only because of Amitabh Bachchan. Otherwise 1/10.

A fun ride with some hilarious moments during the bus journey, a special appearance by Kishore Kumar and a vintage Usha Uthup & Amitabh Bacchans first movie as a hero. This movie will always be remembered for giving us the hit song "Dekha na".

I first saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and have loved it ever since! Past the areas of suspense and family values, the part of this film that makes it a cut above the rest is the bus journey from Bombay to Goa with the passengers being a cast of some of the funniest looking characters you will ever see together in one film. Some of the funny goings on during the journey is pure genius.

This is one film where no credit can be given to Amitabh Bachchan as his role was something even an extra could have pulled off.

Fast Forward all the suspense then sit back and enjoy the comedy. If you have a silly sense of humour, and don't mind watching old films...I guarantee this film will make you laugh!
