Madgaon Express movie review

The ABP Live review of the film reads, "From the outset, ‘Madgaon Express' distinguishes itself from films like 'Dil Chahta Hai’. Dodo's character brings humour and reminds viewers of that one friend who always remains the most excited. The film features a variety of characters, each with their unique traits, such as Mendoza Bhai and Kanchan Comedy. Kunal Khemu's writing shines, injecting humour into every scene. References to 'Dil Chahta Hai' are peppered throughout, highlighting the film's inspiration. Notably, the bed fight scenes and Kanchan Comedy's antics stand out as the film's highlights. Nora Fatehi's appearance adds glamour, while Remo D'Souza's cameo fails to leave a significant impact. The film's music also feels fresh, complementing the narrative."

The film stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, Nora Fatehi and Avinash Tiwary in the lead roles. The comedy-drama also features Chhaya Kadam and Upendra Limaye. Excel Entertainment, which is owned by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, produced 'Madgaon Express', which hit theatres on March 22.
