I just keep feeling that this movie could have really been much better. The Go Goa Gone writer Krishna D K has definitely tried his best to keep the script exciting and funny, but unfortunately for the poor casting the movie does not deliver the best it could have. The parallel flashback in the first half is very unique, and the audience is kept in suspense until the interval. Also, there is some slapstick comedy (cum Action) and a few comic scenes that keep you entertained and pass your time but nothing really concrete to say - oh wow! this was a remarkable film
Sidharth Malhotra & Jacqueline Fernandez do not really make a good couple onscreen, the chemistry is missing and perhaps Siddharth Malhotra does look like a Millennial and Jacqueline from Gex X. Also the fact that Jacqueline still feels like an Expat onscreen does not work for her , she didn't match the character of Kavya who is actually supposed to be the opposite an "Indian born and raised girl" working in the US. The other mismatch is Sunil Shetty, who actually plays the Villain but his dialogue delivery is poor and weak for a comic villain, he is really inexpressive and boring to watch
The plot is about a Goon- Rishi (Sidharth Malhotra), who turns his back from the bad life and escapes from the crutches of his God father, Colonel (Sunil Shetty) to Miami to have a life of a common man . What is logically inconsistent is the fact a Goon can become a Business Head of a company in just 5 years and build himself so much wealth. With a new life comes a new name and a love interest who is not even remotely Indian or lovable, the characterization of Kavya (Jacqueline Fernandez) comes across as being shallow. I wish they could have given more screen time and dialogues to Rajit Kapoor and Supriya Pilgaonkar who play the parents of Kavya. These two actors really have an impact in just 2 scenes.
Sidharth Malhotra has shown a lot of potential in his past movies, in that he can play different roles in and not limit himself to one genre, but he seems to be a bit unlucky for not getting that one awesome opportunity. I have also written previously about how he does have an impression on the younger audiences (Hasee Toh Phasee Review), especially the females, but this just has to go beyond this now and I wish this lad luck with that.
Got a Sunday afternoon to kill some time and gather a few laughs, go ahead!
