Several social media users are spreading a good word of mouth for the film.
News18 gave the film a 4-star rating and wrote in our review: “Madgaon Express is something that we’ve never seen before and thank god for that. In fact, it’s even tough to slot it into a certain genre. The film is whacky, loud and chaotic and unapologetically revels in its own eccentricities.”
“The characters are all oddballs and you wouldn’t want to encounter most of them in real life. It almost feels like Kunal chose to tell a tale without adhering to any set structures of storytelling and yet there’s a method to the madness. It’s so all over the place and such an incredible hodgepodge of so many things that you can’t help but burst out into peals of laughter every now and then, and that’s Madgaon Express’ biggest win,” the review added.
Released on March 22, Madgaon Express stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary in the lead. This is the first time that the trio is working together.
