MOVIE REVIEW-

Against the backdrop of Goa’s sun-kissed shores. Dodo (Divyenndu) leads his childhood buddies Ayush (Avinash Tiwary) and Pratik (Pratik Gandhi) on a quest for beaches and adventure, only to stumble upon a chaotic mix of small-time dealers and rival smugglers.

As the trio navigates Goa’s underworld, Kemmu’s screenplay weaves a tale straight out of a crime thriller manual. Charged performances and deftly drawn characters elevate trite scenes into unexpected moments of hilarity, blurring the lines between showboating gangsters and cross-dressing antics.

While “Madgaon Express” delivers its fair share of zaniness, some comedic attempts fall flat, leaving the 144-minute journey feeling occasionally strained. Despite its quirks, the film’s energy and wit keep audiences engaged, offering a wild ride through Goa’s underbelly.

However, amidst the chaos, “Madgaon Express” falters with unnecessary songs and underutilized talent, such as Nora Fatehi’s limited contribution. Despite these setbacks, Kemmu’s directorial debut promises a rollercoaster of laughs and thrills, making it a journey worth hopping aboard.
