Madgaon Express

Proud of kunal khemu that he finally did something big with his comic talent. Movie is good.

Some jokes were very very good, they landed beautifully and made me laugh loudly. Many other ones made me smile.

Acting wise for me best was obviosly munna bhaya first then pratik gandhi and then tiwari ji. Nora was also nice. Both villains were good and comedic.

Production was good, and story takes ample time to settle, no rush on that front.

Goa was also good though nothing much happened outside. Not funny song was good.

Overall it is a good bollywood comedy movie after a long time. Please watch and apprecisate it. We want more from khemu now.

Bulletpoint review:

• This comedy of errors by writer-director Kunal Khemu is good fun while it lasts. His 2-minute cameo is fun too.

• Pratik Gandhi is the clear standout here. The man holds immense potential as a performer. Divyendu is good when he sticks to comedy (which is about 80% of his screentime). Avinash Tiwary is serviceable.

• Seeing Nora Fatehi in a non-item-dancer capacity is a pleasant surprise.

• The songs are all of the "loo break" variety.

• The antagonists (played by Upendra Limaye & Chhaya Kadam) are hilariously solid. The actors contribute more than what the screenplay has for them.

• Did NOT enjoy the whole "dress up as women" angle for the leads to infiltrate the Kombdi hideout.

• Most of the situational humour (keeping the previous point aside) and the dudes' bromistry work.

The best way to enjoy this movie is to go in without having watched the trailer (which contains a lot of spoilers and showcased most of it's best moments), or any promotional content and watch it with absolutely zero expectations. The rave reviews raise the bar too high and subconsciously expects this to be on par with a Dil Chahta Hai, Go Goa Gone and Hera Pheri, which this certainly isn't.

The actors are flawless however the screenplay and dialogues was a big let down.

Madgaon Express would probably be recieved better once it releases on the OTT platform. In my opinion, it doesn't merit a definitive theatrical experience for your money's worth.

The movie is not like a lot of laughter comedy scenes but still the pace, screenplay and some really good comedy moments are great which makes it overall a good movie to watch.

Allnactors have done the great job for their roles.

Some twists are also good to see.

Music is fine but don't why there are songs which really does not required is been fit in the story. It some how slows down the pace a bit of the movie.

But overall screenplay looks good with a nice story and some comedy punches too.

After a long time good clean comedy is there.

Background score is good and lifts up the scenes at many places.

Went to watch the movie with minimal expectations and must say that the movie surprised me positively.

Story idea about 3 boys finally going to Goa after years of failed planning in itself is good enough. The execution of the idea is also at par. Dialogues, situations created definitely evoke laughter every now and then. Even in serious situations, we the audience, enjoy. The movie definitely has certain World cinema Neo Noir touch.

The characters speak in a very natural and daily routine kind of dialogues which sound funny and logical as well.

3 of the actors have done fantastic job starting from Pratik Gandhi who steals the show with his pre and post drugs antiques. Divyendu acts very well and has funny one liners too that generates laughter. Avinash Tiwary plays his part of a no non sense guy quite well. Chhaya Kadam and Upendra limaye are the icing on the cake. Norah Fatehi plays her part of an eye candy pretty well. Rest of the supporting actors especially the one playing the can driver have played their part superbly.

Direction is very good, however placement of songs is very bad at almost every place. Screenplay could have been more crisp, to give much better pace to the movie.

No unnecessary adult scenes or double meaning jokes have been added, which makes the effort of writing and direction by Kunal Keu very commendable.

Must watch with your friends and family at theatre near you.
