BOMBAY TO GOA - A Comedy Classic From Bollywood !

If you managed to watch COMEDIES like the Naked Gun and Police Academy from Hollywood, then you might be brave enough to tolerate this movie as well.

Some would call it as crude as the actor / producer Mehmood's language. I think it is a funny movie using the format popular at the time in Mumbai's film world. The movie uses ingenious way of exposing us to the milieu of the poor (and couple of middle class people) in that part of the country by placing them in a bus going to the city of Goa from big Mumbai. You have an educated girl running away from a crime ring (which lures pretty girls by promising them a bright future in Bollywood), you have a schizophrenic woman from the village who thinks she is a goddess and scares people by cursing them, then there is a team of driver and conductor named 'Rajesh' and 'Khanna' - which is synonymous with a popular actor of the Bollywood screen; you have the special appearance from the famous singer of Bollywood Kishore Kumar. There is a thumb sucking half naked severely obese south Indian kid who is larger than his dad and goes crazy at the sight of food. There are even a cobra and a hen !! 

Lastly, you have the tall and energetic Amitabh B. lip syncing to the song 'Dekha na' in one of his earliest movies ! What more could one ask for.


So....
