Featured reviews
People born in the late 1990s, particularly those who grew up watching comedies from the 2000s, may experience nostalgia for their younger years.
Credit goes to none other than Mr. Kemmu, the writer-director, for reinvigorating "comedy of errors" genre, which had been lacking its trademark in recent years.
"Madgaon Express" might not have reached its peak but it offered enough quirk and entertainment for its viewers.
The characters were eccentric, the punchlines hit the mark, and most importantly, the actors appeared to be enjoying themselves, especially, Pratik Gandhi in his 'Rowdy' persona, so ridiculous yet so much fun.

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.
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.

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.

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.
