Go … Goa… Gone … ENJOYED !!

Ever since i had seen the promos of Go Goa Gone i knew it will be one hell of a comic ride. A Zom-Com film as it is aptly titled Go Goa Gone had my immediate attention and interest as well. Yesterday me with my wife and a bunch of friends caught the screening of Go Goa Gone, i won’t lie but the theatre was half empty. I am sure people will be waiting for reviews before seeing the movie so that they don’t end up watching a crap movie, my assurance that you wont be disappointed.

FIRST THINGS FIRST Go Goa Gone is not a horror movie, neither it is adventure nor it is thriller … then what is it ? Go Goa Gone is a brainless comedy where you don’t need to apply any logics or justifications the only thing you have to do is laugh your guts out. What’s Go Goa Gone all about ? Hardik [Kunal Khemu] and Luv [Vir Das] tag along to Goa with their best buddy, Bunny [Anand Tiwari], on his office trip. Luv comes across Luna [Puja Gupta], who invites him to an exclusive rave party on a remote island. The party is the brainchild of Russian mafioso Boris [Saif Ali Khan] to launch the ultimate party drug. But the party goes horribly wrong… All of a sudden, they are accosted by zombies!

GO GOA GONE comes across more as an spoof flick than a conventional adventure horror film. Sure, it has its share of violence and gore, besides some.. actually a ton of cuss words, rave party et al, but the fun quotient is smartly integrated in the screenplay and what comes across is crazy, madcap amusement. The humor is smart and the factors that have resulted in an ‘A’ certificate have been done aesthetically and don’t come across as distasteful or offensive.

Saif Ali Khan plays an extended cameo of the character  Boris, a Delhiite turned Russian Mafia in the film but is looking confused between using the russian accent or not. the part where he tries to convince the the protagonists that he’s a Russian is nicely pulled off by Saif. Although his role is like Mumbai Monsoon which comes and goes away hes done a good part with a few good punchlines.

 

Kunal plays the role of  Hardik (also pronounced as Hard-Dick) a complete “Lukha” in mumbai language and “Fukrey” in Delhi language. all he always wants to do is smoke, drink and F**K ! Kunal Khemu was a born actor he has matured as an actor  very quickly but the only thing that goes against him is his voice, had he got better voice he would have scaled to  a different league altogether otherwise Kunal is just brilliant in this film.

Vir Das is another superb actor to watch out for, after showing off his comic timing and good acting skills in Delhi Belly & Badmaash Company Vir Das does it again here. Vir plays the role of Luv a heartbroken “Luv”er who is very good at moving on and forgetting the past, strictly in same order. As an actor he has a great potential waiting to be exploited.

 

Puja Gupta is very pretty and acts well too, I don’t know why she hasn’t got any good offers till now, she has done good job in both FALTU and Go Goa Gone. her next upcoming release is Shortcut Romeo with Neil Nitin Mukesh and Amisha Patel. Lets hope we get one more new talent.

Anand Tiwari, after doing a bunch of Bollywood and Hollywood films is still unnoticed and an underdog, he needs just one chance with a memorable role and he will be a star just like the case of Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Great talent Superb comic timing.

The bad part of the film is Music    Sachin Jigar who last gave a chartbuster ABCD have failed to raise the volume with this album although Khoon Chus Le and Babaji ki Booti are highly ok there is nothing more to listen to. The director duo Raj and DK are the ones who have always given us something witty funny and absolutely different like 99, Shor in the City and now Go Goa Gone. The duo is very good with their art but the only problem is that they are catering to a limited set of elite multiple audience, common man or the single screen audience will not relate to their kind of cinema, and people like me who fall in both categories will appreciate their sheer talent.

On the whole Go Goa Gone is a Mad, Senseless, Brainless Comedy, a story and plot which you cannot like but dialogues and situations you cannot stop laughing to if you like movies like Delhi Belly, Kya Kool Hai Hum, Scary Movies & any spoof films this is the movie you should watch. Dont expect to be scare, dont expect to be at the edge of your seat, dont expect to bite your nails off, Just Go Go Gone and come out laughing !!

My Rating 3.5/5 (-1 for good music -1/2 for stupid storyline)
