This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Strong and Moving!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I watched this at a festival, which was either nice for those viewing or at least very strange. Every time a character drank or smoked, there was a warning text on the bottom of the screen, telling the viewer of the hazards of those things and a sort of "don't try/do this at home". Actually we did see a shorter version than the one that was released in India. They had a disclaimer at the beginning and if I'm not mistaken during the movie, where some politician was talking about how dangerous some of the things are shown in the movie.And all this about a movie, that is obviously a comedy! And with zombies (who are the target for a lot of jokes) and criminals amongst other things. The jokes work mostly (depending on your sense of humor obviously), but there are a few missteps here and there. There is obviously no nudity, which does not affect the movie, but the graphic violence element is also kept at a minimum.

GO GOA GONE comes across more as an adventure flick than a conventional horror film. Sure, it has its share of violence and gore, besides some cuss words, rave party et al, but the fun quotient is smartly integrated in the screenplay and what comes across is crazy, madcap amusement. Raj and DK are enthused by Hollywood movies and there's no denying that GO GOA GONE is a film with Hollywood sensibilities. But the best part is that the film never gets dark or depressing. The wit and humor, generously interwoven in the narrative, keeps you smiling all through, despite the blood and gore. On the whole, GO GOA GONE is experimental since something like this has never been attempted earlier. But it's fun, witty, amusing and yes, thoroughly entertaining. The youngistaan is sure to love this mad, mad, mad ride!

It is extremely astonishing that Indian film-makers are now making movies with entirely different story-lines, hoping to appeal to the audiences with varying tastes in films. This film is surely gonna be loved by many indians, even those who are aversive to such themes when a Hollywood movie is played. Zombie-theme is not a very favorable one to many, believing it to be just another add-on to the sci-fi cult. There have been plenty of such movies made in west, like Zombieland, Resident Evil series, to name but few. Anyone before watching this movie would have definitely thought that such story-themes can NEVER be made in India, by any Indian film maker. Not only Zombie-film, making any sci-fi film in India comes with great risks as audience is not yet ready for such films. Only a handful of people, mainly younger generations would love to watch a sci-fi film.Go to any theater playing the latest Star Trek movie and you would find few groups of guys sitting here n there in the theater, few loners, most of them wearing specs, and rarely a couple would be seen, and a whole family is rarest to find. Such has been the taste of Indian audience even in current times when sci-fi cult has grown hugely in west. How can one imagine to have a zombie movie then in an Indian theater? But Go Goa Gone has startled everyone's assumptions and imaginations. Purely a Zombie-based theme, a sci-fi element that a drug would damage most part of the brain making the survivors Zombies, and the rest being the similar masala from any such western counterpart. The movie could be a bit predictable to those who have watched many such movies as various scenes and screenplay seemed to be copied from various sources. Originality was lacking in the movie, the characterizations and the similar scenarios are very commonly seen in any such sci-fi movie; whether a group of young adults is stuck at an island surrounded by zombies, or surviving the attack from a monstrous-mutant animal, or survival from the spread of a virus, or escaping from an alien etc etc. But as with western movies, though scenarios are common and predictable, but what attracts the audience in them is a new story-line different from the previous ones, along with new elements of technology.Out of few sci-fi's made in India, like Koi Mil Gaya.., Ra.One, (also including few non-Hindi films like Robot etc) this definitely provides a very unique story-line and theme, never seen and expected in Bollywood. Indian audience is definitely going to get a surprise in this movie and complete entertainment included. I am sure people from all classes are going to like this movie, despite its first-time presented theme which would be novel to several Indians.This movie is definitely going to set a new trend in film-making, and may be we will get to see an Indian version of Species, Aliens, LOTR etc in the near future.The film has very nice dialogues, with beautiful cinematography, few of them are gonna become classic scenes. Saif's make-up is very apt for a movie like this, and he has shown mature acting. Kunal's dialogues and his role would become favorite of many, there has been the use of abusive language also. There are no sensuous scenes, but in a movie like this at least 1 or 2 could be added. May be the directors were intending to make it suitable for family watching, and also slang seems more acceptable than a sex-scene. And as a result the girl, Puja, was not shown in a glamorous way, though she is hot and cute. This has made the movie content-focused, and more footage has been given to the survival from zombies. All three young male actors have acted brilliantly.I have given a rating of 8/10 because of some commonalities with Western movies.A MUST WATCH, even you would love to watch it the second time.

Go Goa Gone is a zom/com flick directed by Raj & D.K. starring Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu & Vir Das.The film revolves around three guys; two of which need a break from their life which is anyways going nowhere. Bunny, a friend of theirs, tells them that he's going to Goa for a presentation, which they take as an excuse to go to Goa to party, meet girls and live life to the fullest. They go to a rave party organised by the Russian mafia on an island and soon things go wrong when zombies start appearing out of nowhere.Okay, so the minute I saw the trailer for this film, it looked quite mindless, but I couldn't help but laugh at some of the jokes and the fact that I've never seen an Indian zom/com flick, I had a feeling this would be good. Even Kunal Khemu and Vir Das were there so I was sure that they would put on a good show. The film, ultimately, was what somewhat of my expectations. It was good, yet I feel the second half couldn't sustain the comedy that the first half had. However, the acting is still great, and you can't help but laugh at the jokes Kunal Khemu's character makes.The action of this film is pretty good, with quite a lot of headshots and stabs. The acting is really counted since anyone watching this film wouldn't really care about it.Overall, Go Goa Gone is a really good time. I had a great time just sitting back watching two dope heads and a Russian/Indian guy kill 1399 zombies, which is honestly all that you should expect along with a few laughs. 7/10
