Kunal Kemmu‘s highly-anticipated directorial debut, Madgaon Express, hit theatres on March 22, 2024, but failed to entertain the audience.

Madgaon Express revolves around three childhood friends who embark on a trip to Goa that goes completely off-track. It stars Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, and Chhaya Kadam. Check out the trailer for the movie:
