Here is what Taran Adarsh post:
A few weeks ago, Mumbai Police used a scene from Madgaon Express to spread awareness regarding the importance of seat belts. In the video shared on Instagram, the leading trio of the film - Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, and Avinash Tiwary — can be seen sitting in a car with seat belts unfastened. The clip ends with the message, “Seatbelt is important,” flashing on the screen.
“An express trip without seat belt will land you straight in the hospital,” read the text attached to the video.

In NDTV's review of Madgaon Express, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “The film could well have been titled Madcap Express. Actor Kunal Kemmu's directorial debut, Madgaon Express, is a wild and wacky comedy of errors that rarely, if ever, pauses for a breather. The film is deliriously funny as it moves effortlessly and incessantly between slapstick and sparkling silver-tongued wit.”
