Both the films released this week, ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ and ‘Madgaon Express’ are completely different films from each other in terms of genre. One is a historical biopic and the other is a comedy ride, but one thing is common in both the films that both the films have been directed by actor turned director. ‘Veer Savarkar’ has been directed by Randeep Hooda, while ‘Madgaon Express’ has been directed by Kunal Khemu. Although Randeep himself has played the title role in his film, Kunal is seen in only two scenes in ‘Madgaon Express’.

Direction of ‘Madgaon Express’ movie
As a director, Kunal Khemu chooses the path of comedy instead of saying anything deep and he also proves successful in making the audience laugh and tickle. Although there is not much newness in his story. We have already seen innocent characters trapped between police and gangsters in drug smuggling, but Kunal has treated this see-and-see story in a very entertaining manner. In the name of friendship between three friends, he has also taken a dig at today’s social media. The film is full of funny dialogues like ‘Ab sirf hamari maut ka lucky draw nikalna baaki hai’ and slapstick comedy, which maintains the impact of a strong dose of entertainment. The gangster lady gang’s getup of fishermen with glasses and Navvari saree looks fun. Yes, there are some scenes which increase the length of the film, otherwise Adil Afsar’s cinematography is excellent. If we talk about songs and music, there are many composers, but those two-three songs filmed in Tasavur have become suitable for the story.
‘Madgaon Express’ Movie Cast
Talking about acting, everyone’s comic timing is amazing, but Divyendu as Dodo creates the greatest impact with his comic style. He has made us laugh a lot through the punches of his character. Prateek Gandhi also gave him excellent support by becoming Pinku. Prateek has got a double role in the film, which adds to the comedy. Avinash Tiwari has done justice to his role in the role of Kadaran Dheer-Gambhir as Ayush. Their chemistry as three friends also reminds us of friendship films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara’. Nora Fatehi was hired to add glamor to the film. His character had nothing special to do. Like him, Remo D’Souza has also been wasted, but Upendra Limaye and Chhaya Kadam as Mendoza and Kanchan Komdi have entertained a lot through their strange characters.
Why watch: Lovers of comic and light-hearted films can watch this film.
