Madgaon Express

Dodo, Pinku, and Ayush are in the 10th standard in Mumbai and dream of going to Goa after their board exams. Their parents’ reluctance keeps that plan out of reach, binding them with a common goal. The trio's bond is formed around a shared longing for a carefree adventure.

The friends again plan a Goa trip after graduation, but their journey is cut short when the car meets with an accident as soon as they start. The crash derails their plans and leaves them frustrated about ever making the trip. The dream is postponed once more.

A few years later, Pinku moves to Cape Town and Ayush to New York City. Both find professional success, while Dodo struggles to hold a steady job. He compiles a luxurious online image through editing and social media to hide his insecurities.

Dodo’s carefully crafted online persona continues to grow, but behind the polished posts lies a man who feels like a nobody. He keeps in touch with Pinku and Ayush, watching their success from a distance and feeling increasingly alienated.

Pinku and Ayush decide to fly down to Mumbai in 2015 and inform Dodo that they will stay at his supposed penthouse. To fund the reunion, Dodo arranges three tickets on the Madgaon Express and suggests Goa as the destination. The trio agrees, hoping for a long-delayed getaway.

Before boarding the train, Pinku’s bag is swapped with a similar-looking bag belonging to another man. The bag contains cash, a gun, and a hotel-room key, creating a dangerous new dilemma. They argue about what to do, then decide to discard the bag altogether.

The trio reaches Goa and heads straight to the beach. A drug dealer named Khemu offers them psychedelic pills, and they spend the night with prostitutes. The next morning, Ayush is upset with Dodo for bringing the prostitutes, and Dodo reveals he had kept the hotel-room key and the swapped bag’s cash.

Kanchan Kombdi, a lady gangster, arrives with her gang and mistakes Ayush for Ganapath. The group discovers a stash of cocaine hidden under the bed, escalating the danger and complicating their plans. Pinku’s condition deteriorates as the drug's effects take hold.

It’s revealed that the cocaine belonged to Mendoza Bhai, a ruthless gangster. They seek help from Dr. Danny, who provides treatment, but upon returning to the hotel they find the cocaine missing and the police arrive, forcing another scramble to escape.

Ganapath is exposed as a Mendoza Bhai loyalist who secretly collaborates with Kanchan Kombdi. The backstory of Mendoza and Kanchan’s past romance and rivalry deepens the gang dynamics in Goa. The trio realizes they’ve stepped into a larger criminal web.

The trio blames Dodo for dragging them into danger, and Dodo finally confesses that his wealth was fake and his social posts were deception. Despite the hurt, Pinku and Ayush reaffirm their friendship and offer forgiveness.

Dodo receives a call from Tasha, who appears to help but is part of a setup. Mendoza Bhai captures them at the rendezvous, but Danny, revealed as an undercover cop, leads a raid that helps the group escape.

On the Madgaon Express, Ganapath arrives with Mariam, and Mendoza Bhai and Kanchan Kombdi also appear, demanding the cocaine. They discover the cocaine has been handed to the police after Danny’s setup, leading to arrests and the group finally leaving Goa with Mariam.

Before Ayush boards his flight back to New York, Dodo reveals that his online girlfriend 'Nisha' was actually himself in a prank. The revelation stings, but Ayush accepts it with a hug, signaling a fragile reconciliation.

A year after Goa, Pinku marries Mariam and Dodo wins a lottery, becoming briefly wealthy again. Ayush deletes the fake 'Nisha' from his social circle, and Dodo arrives at Ayush’s home with a makeover, proposing a new plan to travel to Las Vegas together.
