Divyenndu, Avinash Tiwary and Pratik Gandhi is a threesome which can lift any scene, but the lacklustre writing lets them down.

There are repeated references to the men to ‘adjust their oranges’ with the background score harking back to the ‘90s Govinda movies. Kemmu’s collaborators – Raj & DK – would never go for such low hanging fruits (the pun is unfortunate).

Destined to become a cult classic — the movie has just the right amount of soul to temper its silliness — Madgaon Express succeeds on the strength of finely tuned performances and a breezy pace.

To treat Madgaon Express as a senseless comedy (as impressive as it is) or a counter-narrative to other films of its genre (as effective as it is) will be doing it a disservice.
