Gogola (गोगोला is a Gogola)1966 Hindi language[1] Indian giant monster film produced and distributed by Indra Dhanush Films. The country's sole entry in the genre, it is now considered a lost film, with only stills, a censor script, and the soundtrack still available.
Plot
A group of teenagers holding a beach party witness a giant reptilian monster, Gogola, emerge from the ocean. They inform the Mumbai police, who refuse to believe them until more eyewitnesses come forward. Gogola soon makes landfall and attacks Mumbai, prompting a military response. Tanks and planes drive him back into the sea, then break off the attack out of concern that they lack jurisdiction. Undaunted, the monster soon returns.
The scientist father of Asha, one of the teenagers who first sighted Gogola, prepares a poison to destroy the menace. Kumar, another witness, volunteers to administer the poison underwater, while his rival Lacchoo plots to kill him, claim Asha for his own, and take credit for Gogola's destruction.
