Varma may've seen the biggest of flops, but you could
never raise a finger at him for making an outdated,
ghisa-pita, hackneyed, 1980s masala film. But with GO,
directed by Manish Srivastava, RGV hits an all-time
low.
Really, what were the director and his team of writers
thinking when they made this apology of a film? Most
importantly, how did RGV okay this script? Wait… is
there a script in the first place?
Write your own movie review of Go
You're numb and speechless as you come out of the
screening of GO. Was it real? Or was it a bad dream?
Nothing works, except, to an extent, new-find Gautam.
Come to think of it, GO looks like it has been created
by an amateur, who was suddenly given a camera and
told to shoot whatever he sees in his lens. The
plotline is so outdated and the screenplay so
directionless, it makes you sad that the once
innovative RGV has fallen to such lows.
In a nutshell, here's another turkey from Factory!
Lovers Abhay [Gautam] and Vasu [Nisha Kothari] elope
from their homes in Mumbai, not realizing that they
will run into a whole bunch of colorful characters,
including a rogue cop [Kay Kay Menon], a mean killer [Sherveer
Vakil], a crafty conman [Rajpal Yadav] and a chief
minister [Ravi Kale], who kills his own deputy [Govind
Namdeo].
 The
writers of this film deserve the Razzie for coming up
with this tacky script. The idea must've been, let's
pack 4 songs, 10 fights, 4 chases, 5 hot scenes, 5
confrontations and of course, 2 people on the run, 1
corrupt minister, 1 dishonest cop, 1 henchman and 2
sidekicks. Picture tayyar hain, the writers must've
screamed!
Although the songs seem forced, the sound of a few
numbers stays in your memory. Cinematography lacks
finesse.
Gautam sparkles in a couple of scenes. His expressions
are right, his dialogue delivery is fine, his stunts
are first-rate and he has a well-toned physique as
advantage. Nisha Kothari is terrible. And what did Kay
Kay see in this role? As for Rajpal Yadav, why has he
hammed so much? Ravi Kale, Govind Namdeo and Sherveer
Vakil display one set of expressions all through.
On the whole, GO is a bad product. As simple as that!
