silvan-desouza Being a Goan myself Ill have to say that he film is fictitious though it doesn't really put a bad name to Goans yet somehow Zombies have never been ever talked about in relation to Goa.The film tries to be different but could be much better The film starts off well, some scenes involving Kunal and Vir Das are funny In typical style we have songs and jokes made on booze and girls Till the focus shifts to Zombies which are treated like retards yet at times the scenes are good like Saif going to attack Kunal, But the end leaves lot of questions, how come their friend gets saved?Direction is decent Music is okaySaif Ali Khan lends a different approach to his character and makes it good Kunal Khemmu is funny while Vir Das is good too Anand Tiwari is good too, Puja Gupta is okay Soha makes a cute appearance though it was not needed.

Indradip Sinha Roy Comparing Bollywood movies having previously executed foreign concepts have lately become a critical norm. As soon as the first trailer came through, critics compared Go Goa Gone with popular Hollywood zombie flicks; more resonantly, Zombieland. While watching the dual directorial effort, the movie did not resemble Zombieland at all, though some scenes seemed a tad bit familiar to Shaun of the Dead (which itself was a comedic take on Romero's Zombie titles). The movie was a breeze to watch and some scenes actually reeked originality with context to humor and wit, along with a previously unseen Grindhouse approach (restricted to zombies) in Indian cinemas. The three leads where effective with Kunal Khemu walking away with the best lines. Vir Das was OK. Anand Tiwari as Bunny was a revelation. Tagging along with the trio, Saif Ali Khan stood on firm ground as Borris (the trailers teased resemblance to Tallahassee of Zombieland).The Zombie concept remained status-quo but some scenes spurned comical twists which seemed fresh and out of the box.Overall, my preconceptions about this movie being derivative and unoriginal were pleasantly overthrown. Good direction and plenty of laughs more than made up for the reluctance of the script to break new grounds.8/10 for me.

tarunverma911 It is extremely astonishing that Indian film-makers are now making movies with entirely different story-lines, hoping to appeal to the audiences with varying tastes in films. This film is surely gonna be loved by many indians, even those who are aversive to such themes when a Hollywood movie is played. Zombie-theme is not a very favorable one to many, believing it to be just another add-on to the sci-fi cult. There have been plenty of such movies made in west, like Zombieland, Resident Evil series, to name but few. Anyone before watching this movie would have definitely thought that such story-themes can NEVER be made in India, by any Indian film maker. Not only Zombie-film, making any sci-fi film in India comes with great risks as audience is not yet ready for such films. Only a handful of people, mainly younger generations would love to watch a sci-fi film.Go to any theater playing the latest Star Trek movie and you would find few groups of guys sitting here n there in the theater, few loners, most of them wearing specs, and rarely a couple would be seen, and a whole family is rarest to find. Such has been the taste of Indian audience even in current times when sci-fi cult has grown hugely in west. How can one imagine to have a zombie movie then in an Indian theater? But Go Goa Gone has startled everyone's assumptions and imaginations. Purely a Zombie-based theme, a sci-fi element that a drug would damage most part of the brain making the survivors Zombies, and the rest being the similar masala from any such western counterpart. The movie could be a bit predictable to those who have watched many such movies as various scenes and screenplay seemed to be copied from various sources. Originality was lacking in the movie, the characterizations and the similar scenarios are very commonly seen in any such sci-fi movie; whether a group of young adults is stuck at an island surrounded by zombies, or surviving the attack from a monstrous-mutant animal, or survival from the spread of a virus, or escaping from an alien etc etc. But as with western movies, though scenarios are common and predictable, but what attracts the audience in them is a new story-line different from the previous ones, along with new elements of technology.Out of few sci-fi's made in India, like Koi Mil Gaya.., Ra.One, (also including few non-Hindi films like Robot etc) this definitely provides a very unique story-line and theme, never seen and expected in Bollywood. Indian audience is definitely going to get a surprise in this movie and complete entertainment included. I am sure people from all classes are going to like this movie, despite its first-time presented theme which would be novel to several Indians.This movie is definitely going to set a new trend in film-making, and may be we will get to see an Indian version of Species, Aliens, LOTR etc in the near future.The film has very nice dialogues, with beautiful cinematography, few of them are gonna become classic scenes. Saif's make-up is very apt for a movie like this, and he has shown mature acting. Kunal's dialogues and his role would become favorite of many, there has been the use of abusive language also. There are no sensuous scenes, but in a movie like this at least 1 or 2 could be added. May be the directors were intending to make it suitable for family watching, and also slang seems more acceptable than a sex-scene. And as a result the girl, Puja, was not shown in a glamorous way, though she is hot and cute. This has made the movie content-focused, and more footage has been given to the survival from zombies. All three young male actors have acted brilliantly.I have given a rating of 8/10 because of some commonalities with Western movies.A MUST WATCH, even you would love to watch it the second time.

creedreaper For those of you who are big fans of Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil Series, The Walking Dead will surely enjoy this. I was really skeptic to how Bollywood will transition into Zombie Apocalypse, although they approached it in Shaun of the Dead style, the transition was good and it worked.This is not for average audiences, so those of you who like romantic crap, or cheesy sadak chap action, then this is completely not for you. Therefore, just turn it off now before going any further.The best way to rate a zombie movie is to rate the Zombies itself. I was afraid they'll use some cheesy CGI graphics but instead they used real visual effects, the make-ups on Zombies were done perfectly to give the nice terrifying look. And the storyline was interesting on how the Virus spread on a remote Island.I say Kudos to the director, producers, and actors. I really hope to see more versions of this or even a sequel now that the virus has spread beyond the Island. Hopefully it will be more darker and gloomier this time. For a actor like Saif Ali Khan to take such a bold step for a movie like this really shows how versatile he really is and how open minded he is towards his audience.Well Done Bollywood, I am impressed, now time to take this concept further!
