Madgaon Express

First of all, it feels like some one told Kunal Khemmu sir that do whatever the hell u want to , people should laugh, and he played his magic , the dialogues, the cinematography, the editing of the movie is at its peak, how the story goes ahead , the second half made us hold our breaths as the scenes went past , and made us brace ourselves to our seats for the climax, one thing I would like to mention is first part could have been more exciting and intriguing like the second interval but post the break , it's just a rollercoaster, the scenes the lines the action , he never missed to add the comic to every scene , like in one scene if something is happening to the subjects the background is something which our eyes will go and we will like what is happening, this is a must view for the people who missed comedy (I am sure everyone did and we got our old comedy back ) no cuss words nothing pure comedy , just wow.

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.

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.

This movie is enjoyable enough for a single viewing, but it doesn't offer the kind of experience that would make you want to watch it again.

The plot follows a familiar formula seen in many Indian comedy films. It revolves around a group of friends who set out to have a fun time but end up entangled with local gangs, putting their lives in danger. This leads to a series of comedic mishaps as they try to save themselves. While the storyline has its entertaining moments, it doesn't bring anything new to the table and follows a predictable trajectory typical of Bollywood comedies.

The film's reliance on a tried-and-true formula means it lacks the freshness and originality that could make it stand out in the crowded landscape of Indian cinema. The comedic situations, while amusing, are somewhat clichéd and expected.

In my opinion, Bollywood should explore more innovative and creative approaches to comedy. A great example of this is the film "The Terminal," which showcases a unique blend of humor and heart. It's a reminder that experimenting with different storytelling techniques and comedic styles can lead to more memorable and impactful films.

In conclusion, this movie is a good choice if you're looking for some light entertainment and don't mind the repetitive plot elements. However, if you're seeking something new and refreshing, it might fall short of your expectations.
