If you have seen ZOMBIELAND or SHAUN OF THE DEAD, you must know what does the genre ZOM-COM stand for? But if you haven’t and are only restricted to Bollywood Cinema, Raj & DK’s GO GOA GONE is your guide to the world of Zombies on screen. Though, against the Hollywood movies I mentioned above, it looks a little premature ground level effort to introduce a completely new genus in Indian cinema but it’s seriously good & impressive.3 friends forever bored/thrown/bashed up/beaten up emotionally, professionally & in personal life decide to find the lost pulse & pleasure of getting high on drugs, drinks & girls in Goa- the host to fluorescently lit trippy-trancy-smoky rave parties…but soon after the phase of addiction is faded down, they are enforced to encounter their not-so-familiar horror of lifetime Zombies all over the place. And then begins the roller-coaster journey of survival filled with witty dialogues, absurdly funny one-liners and creepy humor with sheer non-nonsensical comic portions.
Yes, you heard it right! GO GOA GONE’s merit lies in its honest approach that never promises to be serious for once in the whole 119 mins of duration, so you may find some not so hilarious moments and some repetitive sequences too but it does not fall short of bringing a constant smile on your face and a lot of loud laughs in second part specially…that too, without losing the thrills as what will come next.
Kunal makes a mark with his sharp comic timing, Vir is regular, Anand Tiwari is efficient and Saif is competent but all the praises to Raj & DK for opening a new territory in Indian film industry! We have got our first Zombie film and it is bloody good. ENGAGING-IMPRESSIVE-FUNNY ***[3/5]
