The make-up & graphics never looked fake which adds on to the credibility. With heads getting popped-up, bloods flowing like red wine, flesh getting ripped-off the effects are realistic enough to get audience approval.Sachin-Jigar's music gels with the mood. "Khoon Chus le" has already become anthem for majority of us who hates to wake up on Monday morning & slog our body to the workplace."Babaji ki Booty" is another gem of a song that reflects the mind of a person when one is "high".The second half might give you a feeling of Dejavu but then majority of zombie survival films moves in this set pattern. Being the first zom-com in Indian cinema the director duo aptly chose the basic concept without making a convoluted plot which might have backfired. There is homage given to iconic zombie film "Night of the Living Dead" to "zombieland" in the second half. The heart of the film reminds you of Edgar Wright's masterpiece "Shaun of the dead". Coming to the end there is also a social message against usage of drugs.On the whole Ggg is the perfect torchbearer for the zom-com genre in Hindi cinema. GGG seamlessly merged the two concepts (Zombie & Slacker comedy) & made one hell of a mad ride. Go for it – you will laugh throughout & get distresses. There is a hint of a sequel & I am looking forward to some more madness in it.

I watched this at a festival, which was either nice for those viewing or at least very strange. Every time a character drank or smoked, there was a warning text on the bottom of the screen, telling the viewer of the hazards of those things and a sort of "don't try/do this at home". Actually we did see a shorter version than the one that was released in India. They had a disclaimer at the beginning and if I'm not mistaken during the movie, where some politician was talking about how dangerous some of the things are shown in the movie.And all this about a movie, that is obviously a comedy! And with zombies (who are the target for a lot of jokes) and criminals amongst other things. The jokes work mostly (depending on your sense of humor obviously), but there are a few missteps here and there. There is obviously no nudity, which does not affect the movie, but the graphic violence element is also kept at a minimum.

Go Goa Gone is truly one of the most hilarious Hindi films since Delhi Belly. It's a zombie comedy, with lots of blood and gore, so it's in no way for the squeamish, and the humor is quite mature, so it's NOT a child-friendly watch, but, hey, it's the subject matter itself which isn't really kid-suitable.Nevertheless, Go Goa Gone sets out to bring a new genre into Indian cinema with great gusto, and it fails to fail. With rib-tickling lines, great comic acting by Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari, and even Saif Ali Khan as the quirky, macho Boris (soon to be one of the greatest cult characters of all of Hindi cinema), Go Goa Gone FORCES you to laugh effortlessly.Yes, the plot gets a little dragging at the second half, and Puja Gupta's acting isn't very novel (although she looks great), but mostly, Go Goa Gone just always makes you laugh at one point or the other. I was chuckling at every other moment. The zombies are well-made, for a first in Bollywood, and nothing looks cheap. The action is pretty nice, and the songs are quirky and trippy.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good laugh-fest. Except the kids, of course...

I had some concern about watching "Go Goa Gone", with it being an Indian movie and all - dreading that it would be filled with singing, dancing and music in the best Bollywood style. But luckily my zombie aficionado instinct got the better of me and I decided to give the movie a go anyway.And with good cause I might add, because "Go Goa Gone" was really a nice surprise. And let me just say that this is not a movie full of dancing, singing and music. Quite far from it, actually. "Go Goa Gone" really took me by surprise, especially because it is right up there in the league with movies such as "Shaun of the Dead", "Lesbian Vampire Killers" and "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil". This is indeed a great zombie horror comedy movie.The story is about three friends and roommates, Hardik (played by Kunal Khemu), Luv (played by Vir Das) and Bunny (played by Anand Tiwari) who end up going to Goa for a vacation of partying and hooking up with women - well, at least such was the plan for Hardik and Luv. They end up going to a rave on a remote island, a rave hosted by members of the Russian mafia. A new drug is introduced during this party, but this drug results in the users experiencing the ultimate high and turning into zombies.There is a good amount of action and a suitable amount of comedy to the story here. And there is a constant pace to the movie which just keeps the movie going and going, without leaving any dull moments throughout the length of the feature.And on the plus side, then there is a good amount of blood and gore in the movie as well, enough to keep most gorehounds satisfied. And the zombie make-up and effects were actually surprisingly good.If you enjoy zombie movies, then "Go Goa Gone" is definitely a movie to watch, and with this addition to the zombie library, India have put themselves on the radar.
