Leave your thoughts about Go Goa Gone.
| Georgia StraightItrath SyedThe premise of the film is far more intriguing than its actual execution. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsMost jokes don't translate very well in Go Goa Gone, a Bollywood horror comedy influenced by Shaun of the Dead. |
| User ReviewRohan DIntelligent, funny and just the right amount of gore. Finally an Indian movie that does not insult the audience's intelligence, and doesn't follow the usual Bollywood formula. Kudos to the movie makers and cast! |
| User ReviewBiju BFucking awesome zom com, bollywood. Hooray! |
| User ReviewKelly GThis movie was a cross between Shaun of the Dead and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. It was refreshing to see zombies slaughtered in Bollywood style. I also found it fascinating to here the Hindi/English hybrid language. |
| User ReviewThegodfathersonGo Goa Gone is neither a Night of the Living Dead nor a Shaun of the Dead; neither a generic horror film nor an overt parody. The moment you find out that the name of one of the protagonists (Khemu) in Go Goa Gone is Hardik, you count the minutes to the inevitable joke. It comes about 30 minutes into the film to the film’s credit, as a throwaway line in the beginning of the first song. It illustrates what the film’s comedy is all about: using the ‘A’ certificate and a Beavis-and-Butthead sensibility to go for the easy laughs, yet understanding that simply punning on the name Hardik isn’t enough to carry a film in 2013. The smart writing shows itself in the lack of obvious logical discrepancies in the film. I spent an hour before watching this film reading through some of the Vigil Idiot’s recent reviews-cum-comics of other 2013 Bollywood releases, and found myself cringing afresh at the contrived plots of the films I’ve had to review this year. Go Goa Gone, at least ostensibly, keeps it within the rails. Faced with the prospect of their rave party on a Goan island turning into some sort of apocalyptic event, Hardik, Luv and Bunny actually pause to think about what they are up against, even if, as Hardik points out, it really doesn’t make much difference to their chances of survival that it’s zombies and not vampires. Much of the humour is derived from their constant attempts at make sense of the confusion (“We know nothing and we’ve learned ghanta” is the response to Luv’s attempts at Socratic reasoning), especially when they acknowledge, unlike most other horror films, that there already exists a century’s worth of horror films. At one point, Luv uses a technique he says he saw in some movie Shaun of the Dead and tries to blend in with the zombies. At another, Bunny breaks the fourth wall and complains that as the heroes’ boring friend, he’s going to be the first to die. Sure, the film gets repetitive after the interval, and sure, much of the humour is trite stoner jokes (“We should form a Bharatiya Joint Party,” Hardik giggles in the opening scene). Also agreed: the lack of badass villains makes it a distinctly poor cousin of Delhi Belly. But Go Goa Gone works as a result of its charming lunacy, and makes a great case for similar films in the days to come. Go Goa Gone works as a result of its charming lunacy. |
| User ReviewTrouble SPretty ok, in fact surprisingly so. Good comic timing, put together by someone who's (or has hired the right people who) spent enough time on the zombie genre, and it comes up in a couple of decent, well-placed scenes - I'll add a star for the Shaun of the Dead add-in - but overall, the movie's basically fairly loosely assembled, not a very coherent storyline (not that one's really needed) and some interesting new concepts, both origin and fighting. The music is absolutely brilliant and visual gags reasonably decent - and it doesn't become too self-conscious or too OTT. |
| User ReviewVenetia DThis is technically one of the best films in recent times - Uber cool camera work, smart production designs, excellent make up & kickass music. Even though story is bit cliche but still it works for excellent comic timing of Kunal Khemu, Anand Tiwari & Saif Ali Khan. Kunal Khemu's dialogues & some quirky scenes like dancing around trees were just outright hilarious. I am bit disappointed since in promos they showed some really crazy scenes which are being edited out in final cut. But still India's first Zom-Com is truly a commendable effort. And if there is a sequel being planned bring it on guys. I will be ready to watch these guys keeling dead peepal. |
| User ReviewShruti PFunny! Crazy! And undoubtedly mad! Such a whack-a-doodle! :) Totally enjoyed it! :) |
| User ReviewArun CDisturbed, lethargic, weed-addicted youngsters Luv, Hardik and Bunny escape to Goa to take a break from their regular, monotonous lives and happen to attend a rave party hosted by Russian mafia on a near-by secluded island. Things take humorous and horrible turn when guests become Zombies after consuming a drug sold that night. It's a run-through-the-Zombie-infested-jungle for the ones who are alive. A commendable effort by Raj DK, Krishna Nidumoru and Saif Ali Khan. Go Goa Gone has everything to keep you entertained. |
