Some films are unique in the sense that they make u look the other side of the picture. Bejoy has made quite a great effort in making such an unarthodox attempt in film making. David stirs ur mind to re-think and re-analyze the world around u. Somewhere, inside every other human being, one shade or another of David lives.
David comprises of 3 altogether different stories, set in different eras in different places, that run parallel. It tells how 3 Davids live their lives and go through different phenomenas. This thriller does not use the traditional cut to cut frames to pump up adrenaline, rather it relies on its strong story (read stories) lines and hard hitting, power packed performances by all actors.
One important thing, it looks like a bit stretched in second half, where a good 10 to 15 min portion of the film could have easily been edited. But apart from this, I didnt found any notable glitche.
I would especially like to mention the great work done by the art director and the cinematographer. They have portrayed the events and places by great command, be it London of 70s or scenic goa. Same goes for stunning background score, that beautifully blends with the ongoing scenarios.
Overall, its a beautiful film, that truely depicts the fresh techniques of film making.

We have seen so much diversity in horror genre'. Supernatural thrillers, ghosts, dayans, spirits etc etc. Go Goa Gone brings an entirely new specie for haunting us... Well, beg ur pardon, they are not meant to haunt us in real sense...
Zombies are very fresh addition in bollywood and GGG treats it as an introductory lesson... 3 friends heading towards goa and finds a party in an isolated island and then starts a Tom and Jerry chase among normal human beings and eating... And in the end, sab set ho jata hai.
Apart from creapy zombies, there was nothing fresh in the movies...
On the whole, Go Goa Gone is a bad bad attempt on film making... Not reached upto the expectations...
2.5 out of 5 Stars.
Gippi is a very simple tale of a girl, depicting major generic problems faced by the early teenagers... U get to see various kid-young emotions here... From the first love curiosity to the tension of a competition, from the selfless friendship to hate... Almost every emotion, the kids go through in one way or another... K Jo's last directorial venture SOTY was having three debutants in the lead, similarly here most of the cast is fresh... Riya vij, and divya duta's performance really deserves applaud... Over all, its just another kid story, that barely leaves a strong impact...
