Movie Review

Saif Ali Khan

Kunal Khemu

Puja Gupta

Vir Das

Raj Nidimoru

Krishna D.K

Rating: 3.5/5 stars (Three And Half Stars)

Star cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Puja Gupta and Anand Tiwari

Director: Raj Nidimoru, Krishna D.K.

What's Good: The film's smart paced rhythm and sleek performances that have you rolling with laughter.

What's Bad: The last 20 minutes of the film gets repetitive and drags on failing to evoke the maddening laughter it manages to sustain all through.

Loo Break: None at all.

Watch or Not?: Packed with rude humor, building on a novel Hollywood concept, the film is a must watch for its perfect concoction of hilarity and horror. Doing justice to the idea of Zom-Com that they introduced, it is the naughty, spoofy and the uninhibited performances of Kunal Khemu and Vir Das that keeps intact the film's frenzy all through.

User Rating:

Despite a change of heart, Luv gets dumped by his girlfriend who has been cheating on him. His buddy Hardik gets caught in the middle of a make out session and ends up jobless. Climbing up on the back of their 'good boy' friend Bunny, the three embark on a feel good trip to Goa. Embarking on a journey to a rave party, a strange new drug converts its consumers into zombies. What happens once the trio wake up to a deserted island infested with zombies? Watch out for a tale of concrete humor, punched in a story of three clueless men, an island full of zombies and a zombie slayer!

Go Goa Gone Review: Script Analysis

I wouldn't be surprised if the film has practically been lifted from a Hollywood film. However, it is the desi sensibilities that are deliberately added with judicious amount of wit which binds the fabric of the story together. Borrowing from a western concept, the film has its massive share of glitches. The good thing is that the duo Nidimoru and D.K enthuses for its audiences oodles of laughter which keeps you rolling till the end. It is for the massively satiating entertainment they largely provide, are these hitches easily ignorable to naked eyesight Strictly a multiplex oriented, youth inviting film, I suggest you don't watch it if you abhor grimy language and don't have a taste for adult humor. For the younger brigade, it is a true-to-its-word 'comic caper'.

Go Goa Gone Review: Star Performances

Kunal Khemu is a show stealer. With his character buying for itself all the juvenile, sleazy humor, it is he who gives you your money's worth here!

Vir Das' straight faced, matter of fact style of comedy is bone tickling to the core. Along with Kunal Khemu, their duo holds this profanely funny film tight.

Anand Tiwari does his role calculatedly, falling slightly short of Khemu and Das' energy and vigor. Mostly adequate, he stays true to his stint and focuses his vision entirely on it alone.

Puja Gupta was sidelined for the good in the film. Though extremely hot, her screen space was unduly cut short for the larger good of the story.

Saif Ali Khan as Boris indulges you in his farcical Russian accent loftily. His kickass screen presence is flavorful despite lacking in minutes. But as Bollywood's first zombie slayer, Junior Pataudi marks the beginning of a new trend in the horror genre of Bollywood films.

Go Goa Gone Review: Direction, Music & Technical Aspects

As a Zom-Com or zombie comedy to elaborate, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K squeeze out an uproarious gag. The second part could have been tauter, especially since the first part provokes out a mercilessly cheeky comedy but overall the director duo deserves credit for introducing an innovative idea and holding it valiantly through till the end.

Kunal Khemu renders to its lines trademark Bollywood slapstick fun, but does it so refreshingly and wittily, that it scores heavy points for the film. Small instances like holding Globalization responsible for the advent of zombies in India, proclaiming it to be the next HIV, are the nattily penned down dialogues that you can't avoid noticing.

Songs could have been incorporated better with only Babaji ki Booti sticking to your tongues by the end! Though the post interval editing did get a little sloppy, it is the well churned out playful screenplay that fortifies the film.

Go Goa Gone Review: The Last Word

Go Goa Gone is a must one time watch. Stomping off a nave horror concept in India, borrowing from a hit Hollywood formula, it is an unabashedly crazy film with Vir Das and Kunal Khemu delivering super performances. Relegated into the premise, the film is an exuberantly hilarious laughter riot that shouldn't be missed. Honestly, I haven't laughed this much in a film since Delhi Belly. Take a break from all the morose things in life and catch this film, believe me there can't be any regrets! I am going with a 3.5/5 for this film. Had the laugh riot the film induces in the first half persisted obstinately, the film would easily have been invincible

Go Goa Gone Review : Forget 'GOA', Just 'GO' for this Zomedy!!!

Rating: ????

Go Goa Gone (2013) Movie Review was being awaited by the cinegoers and as the film hits the screens, the review is ready for you to grab it. Let's read on the critic review of the movie written by Film Critic Goher Iqbal Punn.

Go Goa Gone is not the typical Bollywood formula film at all. The movie carries the content which has never been attempted in Hindi film industry before. It is a zom-com that has been brought onto the Bollywood screen for the first time. The effort is appreciable and the credit goes to the directors of the movie – Krishna D K and Raj Nidimoru. We have witnessed one thing that for last few years or so, Bollywood filmmakers have been on way to experiment new concepts and few of them have really succeeded and worked big time. Among those few is undoubtedly the horror content which has been working high among the Hindi cine lovers.

The zombie comedy Go Goa Gone too is a unique concept which has been presented on celluloid and hopefully it will be liked and applauded by the moviegoers. Romantic, comedies, action and musical movies are what are called the time and tested formulas in Bollywood film industry. The producers felt safe on spending money on these kinds of subjects. But they felt reluctant on investing money on the subjects of other natures. But when few showed courage and their films turned out to be hit, the big wheels and all then followed.

Go Goa Gone too will be a path breaking concept and it seems post the success (as it seems that it might get good business at the box office) of the film, others will begin following the concept.

In Hollywood, we often see and have been watching zombie comedies. The movies on zombie and zom-com are churned out in plenty over there. And the same would hopefully start happening in Bollywood industry soon.

Go Goa Gone talks about the three friends who gatecrash a rave party happening in an island in Goa. Later they find themselves being attacked by zombies by next morning when they wake up.

The trio of fun seeking pals – Hardik (Kunal Khemu), Bunny (Anand Tiwari) and Luv (Vir Das) joins in Luna (Puja Gupta) and they all slip into a race party in an Island in Goa. The host of the party is a Russian Don Boris (Saif Ali Khan). The magic of the night, drinks and drugs all enthrall the friends and when they get up next morning, they find themselves being attacked by the zombies. Boris comes in to save them but all seems wasted since the zombies are quite hard to eliminate them.

The film's concept – part hilarious and part scary is what gets the viewers eyes fixed on the screen. The humor quotient too has been injected with gusto and conviction. The scary moments too are nail-biting. The story is novel and these kinds of subjects have to be used in Hindi film industry. The script written by the trio of – Krishna D K, Sita Menon and Raj Nidimoru is really attention-fetching and mind boggling. There are few dull moments in the second half, but the overall taste of the film is delicious. Direction by – Krishna D K and Raj Nidimoru is first rate and the interesting this about the execution of the script on the celluloid is that the viewer hardly gets bored.

Music by Sachin-Jigar is catchy and few of the songs are really good to hear. Cinematography is wonderful. Editing is accurate. Action has been dolled up nicely.

Saif Ali Khan's avatar of a bleached look – a blonde man works with the audiences. He carries the movie on his shoulders though other cast members' performances too are marvelous. Kunal Khemu does a fine job. Anand Tiwari is good to watch. Vir Das is nice. Puja Gupta is stunning and acts well. Others too display their histrionics.

Final Verdict:

On the whole, Go Goa Gone is a through entertainer from all aspects. It is an experiment that needs to be appreciated and applauded. A brilliantly executed zom-com, the film could work great at the box office.

Story:

The story of Go Goa Gone revolves around the two dope heads Hardik (Kunal Khemu) and Luv (Vir Das), who are off for a business trip at Goa. This is when Luv comes across a free-spirited girl, Luna (Puja Gupta) who casually invites them to an exclusive underground rave party on a remote island. The party's host, a Russian Don-Saif Ali Khan(Boris), is a self-proclaimed zombie-hunter. And there begins the adventure, after the party goes horribly wrong... All of a sudden, they are accosted by zombies!

Trapped in the zombie island, the guys find a saviour in Boris. What happens once the trio wake up to a deserted island infested with zombies? Let the suspense be, watch out this zombie saga to know more.

Go Gone Gone has it's share of violence and gore, and mildly scary. But, the best part of the movies is that the filmmakers enthuses for its audiences oodles of laughter which keeps you rolling till the end. There are times you find yourself laughing aloud with the three boys and their wisecracks

.Performances By Kunal And Vir: You will be surprised to see Kunal Khemu this time. Khemu excels in his fun-packed performance and sure a show stealer in this flick. You'll just love Vir Das's funny expressions and comic timing. The man is a laughter riot.

Saif Ali Khan- The Zombie Hunter Saif Ali Khan's Russian-accented, burnt-haired, heavily-tattooed zombie hunter avatar Boris is a likeable one. Khan lays into the character of the Russian gangster with apparent relish. Puja Gupta, the Miss Indian hottie, doesn't get much opportunity to flaunt her skills this time.

Go Goa Gone Music The film's music is already a chart-buster. Especially the songs "Slowly Slowly", "Baba Ki Booty" and "Khoon Choos Le" which is presently the Youth-Favorite.

Verdict : Go Goa Gone is funny, witty, amusing, crazy and thoroughly engaging. And yes, it's definitely an one-time watch.
