Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 17 (ANI): After having a successful theatrical run, Kunal Kemmu’s directorial debut ‘Madgaon Express’ is now streaming on OTT.

The film, which is headlined by Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary, kick-started its digital journey on Prime Video from Friday onwards.

Expressing happiness over the film’s OTT release, Kunal said, “Madgaon Express holds a special place in my heart as it’s my first project as a director and also a writer. It was the most liberating experience for me. Every member of the cast and crew poured their hearts, love, sweat, and tears into this film to guarantee that viewers would have a blast watching the hilarious antics of our three leads. The overwhelming adulation the film received during its theatrical run has been humbling. I am thrilled that it will now be available to a global audience through Prime Video.”

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, ‘Madgaon Express’ revolves around three childhood friends, Dodo, Pinku, and Ayush, whose quintessential teenage dream of going to Goa together has never been fulfilled. Years later, they reunite to finally embark upon their dream trip, only for their unforgettable vacation to go off-track.
