In his WhatsNew2Day review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said: “Madgaon Express is a romp that never seems to outstay its welcome, with even the post-climactic scenes – they interrupt the credits in a new, lopsided way – delivering loads of surprises and forcing the audience to keep waiting until it’s all done and dusted .”
Saibal Chatterjee continued, “Apart from a script that never stops delivering generous doses of hilarity, the comic timing achieved by the three actors gives the riotous farce its vibrancy. Each of the three protagonists successfully uses his own style, appropriate for the character he plays. In the guise of the stoic skeptic, Avinash Tiwari radiates strength and solidity and conveys cheerfulness with his measured underplay.”
Nora Fatehi, Chhaya Kadam and Remo D’Souza also play pivotal roles Madgaon Express.
