With few days left for the release of Venkat Prabhu’s ‘Goa’, we bring you the exclusive look on what the film is all about. As in reference, there were have been many presumptions about the story and now it’s something we hear straight from the closer sources of ‘Goa’ unit.‘Goa’ is a fun-filled journey of three friends traveling from their small village in south India to the international tourist-destination Goa, finding friendship, love, and a whole lot of mischief and comedy on the way.3 friends—Rama Rajan, Vinayagam and Samikannu, - are rebels in the making, going against the superstitious beliefs of their conservative village and often landing themselves in trouble with the elders of the village.

The cultural and religious practices of the village are so extreme that they prohibit the boys from even watching films, the pastime of south India! Unable to tolerate their repeated transgressions, the village elders decree that the three should no longer be able to maintain any kind of contact whatsoever.They somehow managing to meet each other in disguise during a village festival, the three friends flee the village as an act of revenge against their overly strict families.They go to Madurai, Where they get another shock whey they see that Rajan is getting married to a foreigner from the UK! At the wedding Samikannu has own electric, though unspoken, connection with one of Lisa’s friends, Jessica. After the wedding Rajan tells his story, how he and his bride Lisa met in Goa and fell in love.

As if marrying a foreigner isn’t enough, the boys are floored to hear that Rajan is going to settle in London with a cushy job to boot, courtesy of her father! The boys, Rama Rajan in particular, are amazed by the idea that a beautiful, rich, white woman could fall in love with a very average looking, lower-middle class guy from rural India. Rama Rajan plans and then convinces his friends that they should go to Goa. They could find a white girl, marry her and then settle down in a foreign country.While they enjoy themselves for a few days, experience things they have never had a chance to in their remote village, they soon realize that impressing a white girl is not as easy as they thought it’d be.Each of the boy’s falls in love, but not how or with whom they’d expect it to be! With a series of twists and turns, one part comedy and one part thrill, the boys each end up understanding the nature of love in their own ways. How the boys come to terms with their own identities in a foreign place among friends, old and new, in order to understand the meaning of life forms the crux of this cinematic journeyKeep logging to this column for more updates on this film….
