Goa

Ah yes, Goa-the movie that truly pushes the boundaries of storytelling by taking three clueless village guys and dropping them into a party destination. Genius. Who needs a strong script when you have endless beach shots, random dance numbers, and Premgi Amaren doing... whatever Premgi Amaren does?

The humor? Peak comedy. If you've ever thought, "Hey, what if we took every old Tamil comedy trope and just... threw them all into one movie?"-congratulations, Goa is your answer. There's no need for wit when you can have loud jokes and exaggerated expressions doing all the work.

The cast? Incredible. Jai, Vaibhav, and Aravind Akash give performances so natural, you'd think they actually got stranded in Goa and just let the cameras roll. And Premgi? Cinema would be incomplete without his legendary one-liners and 'cool dude' persona. (If you didn't roll your eyes at least once, did you even watch the movie?)

Let's not forget the music. Yuvan Shankar Raja decided to carry the whole film on his back, giving us bangers like "Idhu Varai" that are still played today. If only the movie itself had the same replay value.

And oh, the romance! The gay love story was a bold move for Tamil cinema at the time. Progressive? Sure. But realistic? Eh, let's just say Kollywood was still figuring things out.

Now, let's address the biggest plot twist in this film: 90% of it was shot in Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia-not Goa. Because, of course, why film in Goa when you can just rename Langkawi and hope no one notices? Nice try, Venkat Prabhu. You can cheat Tamil Nadu audiences, but Malaysia Tamilians? We see you.

Overall, Goa is a ride, not necessarily a great one, but definitely one you won't forget easily. It's the kind of film you put on when you want to relive 2010's brand of comedy or just need background noise while scrolling your phone.
