Bombay to Goa

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

Even though I don't speak much Hindi, I got a big kick out of this movie. My mother-in-law, who was born in India, rented this title on DVD and watched it while she was visiting us.

I was busy doing something on my computer, while she watched the movie in the background. The unusual songs caught my ear, and I ended up watching much of the movie with her. The title song, "Bombay to Goa," is a note-for-note cover of the Beach Boys' "Help Me Rhonda." The lyrics have been changed, but the melody is clearly the same.

Another song is a medley of old rock-n-roll tunes, sung in English, by an Indian woman in a nightclub. She did a few bars from a song which I believe is called "Jezebel." I have a version from Herman's Hermits. It was very odd to hear this 60s garage song in a Bollywood musical. The same medley also included a portion of "Fever," also sung in English.

Great sense of humor. Mehmeood and S Ramanathan made a classic comedy film which creates a space in everyone's heart. Mehmood's Acting skills are amazing and stupendous, very expressive and very energetic. Loved watching the Bus Conductor. Amitabh Bachchan's appearance itself makes him a classic Actor, the way he stretched himself for performing such an extrovert character is highly inspiring. Aruna Irani is an all-rounder, VERSATILE, finest Actress in Indian Cinema, her looks and style were so adorable. Lalita Pawar as Kashibai did a fantabulous job.

Songs sung by Kishore Kumar are iconic and it truly makes you sing it the entire day. Lovely songs.

Costume Designer made the actors look even more dashing. The credit is all Kashinath's and his Assistants Eashan, Shivprasad, Manik Sharma.

Fighting was perfectly choreographed.

It is all about the entire team's effort.

Highly appreciate the team work.

Cheers to the team!

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!!!
