Bombay to Goa: Too many comedians
|
|
Kids did not have much to rejoice as My Friend Ganesha turned out to be a dud. The attempt to cash on to Hanuman's success by combining old fashioned mythology with animation failed miserably.
Meanwhile, comedians too failed to elicit any laughter as Mahmood inspired classic of the same name, Bombay To Goa is an utter disappointment.
