Kunal Kemmu is a high-quality comedian actor and together with his debut automobile, he has proven us that he can deftly direct comedies as nicely. Kunal has additionally written the movie and Hollywood hits resembling Pineapple Categorical (2008) and The Hangover (2009) appear to have served as his muse. He hasn’t copied something body to border however has borrowed sure conditions and Indianised them. The result’s a wacky comedy that makes you chuckle until your jaws damage.
The movie is full of one loopy scenario after one other. To start with, the place we see the kid avatars of the trio, they’re awkward youngsters who suck at dancing, speaking to ladies and customarily behave immaturely. Nothing appears to have modified within the intervening years, as they’re as juvenile and clumsy as ever, even of their 30s. The scene the place they whole a automotive inebriated, their encounter with totally different units of goons or the climax combat scene showcase their ineptness at dealing with issues maturely.

His scenes the place he overdoses on cocaine and modifications his character or when he loses certainly one of his fingers are enjoyable to look at. Avinash TIiwary too is thought for his dramatic roles however right here is introduced as a well-groomed Bollywood hero. He is the whole good wanting bundle and he too surprises together with his yen for comedy.

Nora Fatehi has been employed because the glam quotient and fits the invoice.
Credit score have to be given to Kunal Kemmu, who has made a hell of a stoner comedy as his debut. Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi and Avinash Tiwary have by no means labored collectively earlier than however the director has made certain of their camaraderie. They do come throughout as childhood associates, who quarrel lots however are there for one another when it counts.
Watch the movie for its sequence of gags designed to tickle your humorous bone and for the impressed comedic performing by all the ensemble forged.

Even when a scenario turns severe or harmful, the actors discover a approach to infuse humour shortly and organically. Moreover the performers, the credit score for this goes to Kemmu’s grip on writing. The film additionally provides a nod to different outings of its ilk — Dil Chahta Hai, Go Goa Gone, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and many others, with out seeming too compelled.
On the flip facet, protagonists escaping mafioso is not a novel premise. Typical of a slapstick comedy, Madgaon Categorical additionally has some over-the-top characters, such because the gun-toting and goggles-wearing mafia fisherwomen led by Kanchan Kombdi (Chhaya Kadam). The narrative loses tempo and sometimes feels filled with long-drawn tracks or jarring conditions.

With its sharp dialogue and spot-on performances, Madgaon Categorical is a comedy price watching. The mad trip will depart you laughing out loud!
