Review of Go Goa Gone

Release date –  10'th May  2013

One Line which describes the film – 
The Comedy of Errors

Best  Dialogue – 

'Ye India main bhoot - pret hote hai , Zombies kaha se aa gaye?'
'Globalisation , Ye phirangio ne waat laga di '

Genre – Zombie/Comedy
   
Music – Sachin-Jigar

Producer -  Saif Ali Khan ,Dinesh Vijan ,Sunil Lulla

Story & Direction - Raj Nidimoru , Krishna D.K.

Cast – Saif Ali Khan , Kunal Khemu , Anand Tiwari , Puja Gupta

Budget – 20 crores (approximately)

Raj and D.K. are engineers turned film-makers whose last film Shor in the City was one of the most acclaimed films of 2011 that earned terrific reviews from almost every critic in the country.


This time they have come up with a zom-com film which even when it makes you laugh ,gives a strong message that smoking ,drugs and alcohol kill.

The story revolves around three friends Kunal Khemu, the guy who flirts with any woman /zombie,  Vir Das  who updates every detail of his life on Facebook and wants to fall in love and the hard working, simple Anand Tewari who is constantly financially exploited by his friends. The trio go to a rave party organised by the Russian mafia in an island off the shore of Goa and their dark adventure begins. 

Most of the first half of the film is hilarious and even though the second half is predictable the film doesn't bore. 


Kunal Khemu, (who has even written  the dialogues along with Raja Sen  ) has given a wonderful performance and easily outshines Veer Das and Anand Tewari . 


Pooja Gupta adds to the glamour quotient in the film. She represents the female generation who party hard but are responsible and can take care of themselves too.


Saif Ali's accented, blonde haired, heavily-tattooed look may not appeal to the audience in the promos but with his perfect comic timing he manages to leave an impact.


The songs of the film ‘Slowly slowly’ , ‘Khoon choos le’ and   ‘Babaji ki booty’ have already become chart busters and will be played in discs for months.


In the film the characters use this line several times 'What do you know,What have you learnt?' and what I learnt after 2 hours is that 'Drugs turn you into Zombies.'

In a line even if the zombie element is not as good as shown in Hollywood films  Zombieland  or Shaun of the Dead the chemistry between the three friends is what makes this film entertaining and paisa wasool.'

Must watch for the younger generation addicted to Facebook ,Twitter or Whatsapp .
Good one time theater watch.
