Justice has been served. There is finally a comedy running in theatres that deserves to be called one. One that honours the audience’s largely neglected funny bone and doesn’t want them to leave their brains at home. And has zero interest in schooling the viewers. Actor Kunal Kemmu makes a gloriously hilarious directorial debut with Madgaon Express, where Dil Chahta Hai’s (2001) dream meets Go Goa Gone’s (2013) reality.

Three childhood friends, played by Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary, have tried and failed at taking a trip to Goa, after completing their graduation. Life happens, and Pinku (Gandhi) and Ayush (Tiwary) move to foreign shores to make a brighter future. But Dodo (Divyenndu), who is left behind, stays loyal to their shared dream. Years later, the dream gets a new lease of life when the trio decides to embark on a trip to Goa, albeit on a middle-class budget. What follows is a series of disasters, making them regret even wanting a trip in the first place. Kemmu, who has also written the story, screenplay, and dialogue for the film, crafts a comedy that doesn’t rely on gags but on the distinct characterisation of its protagonists to drive the humour.
