In his NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said, “Madgaon Express is one rigmarole that never seems close to overstaying its welcome, with even the post-climax scenes – they interrupt the end credits in a novel, cockeyed fashion – springing loads of surprises and forcing the audience to hang on until it is all done and dusted.”
Saibal Chatterjee continued, “Apart from a script that never stops delivering generous doses of hilarity, the comic timing that the three actors achieve gives the riotous farce its vibrancy. Each of the three principal actors successfully employs his own style to fit the character he plays. In the guise of the stoic sceptic, Avinash Tiwari exudes strength and solidity, transmitting mirth with his measured underplaying.”
Nora Fatehi, Chhaya Kadam, and Remo D’Souza also play pivotal roles in Madgaon Express.
