Plot[edit]

Hardik (Kunal Khemu) and Luv (Vir Das) are two dope-heads, living with their roommate/friend Bunny (Anand Tiwari). After Hardik loses his job and Luv gets dumped by his girlfriend, both decide to tag along with Bunny to Goa to relax. In Goa, Luv falls for Luna (Puja Gupta), and she invites the guys to a rave party, organised by the Russian mafia, which is being held on a secluded island. At the party a new drug, D2RF, is launched. The next morning, the three roommates find that the island has been infected by the "living dead" (zombies), and the three men and Luna decide to stay together in hopes of surviving. A Russian mafioso, Boris (Saif Ali Khan, originally from Delhi/Dilli), arrives and reveals himself as a zombie slayer. The three roommates and Luna plan to use the boat they had used to travel to the island to escape from it. Finally, after escaping the island, they discover that the mainland has also been infested by the zombies, forcing them to find another way to survive.

Reception[edit]

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie 3.5/5 stars and has stated that "On the whole, Go Goa Gone is experimental since something like this has never been attempted earlier".[5] Meena Iyer from the Times of India gave the movie 3/5 stars mentioning that "Go Goa Gone is positively different from anything you might have seen before".[6] Shubir Rishi for Rediff.com has given the film 2.5/5 stars and says "Go Goa Gone is a fun watch with plenty of innocent-sounding, slow-exploding one-liners, which make you laugh".[6]

Possible sequel[edit]

In the climax of Go Goa Gone, it's revealed that it wasn't only the island off the coast of Goa that was infected by zombies, but mainland Goa as well. A message before the credits saying "The end is near" could possibly be hinting at the "zombie apocalypse", or maybe even a sequel to the movie.[citation needed]
