Gogola is a lost 1966 Indian Hindi-language giant monster film directed by Balwant B Dave and produced by Indra Dhanush Films. It is perhaps the first and only Hindi film whose titular character is a giant monster. Gogola is a bipedal aquatic reptile who can breathe fire.
The few remaining plot synopses suggest that Gogola borrows many elements from the original Godzilla film. The film was a knock-off of Godzilla and was seen as India’s answer to Godzilla. The film also has a song called "Nacho, nacho, Gogola". Frank Fernand provided the music for Gogola, along with Mukund Rai Trivedi who also produced the film under the name T. M. Rai (together credited as Rai & Frank), and Balkavi Bairagi wrote the lyrics.
The only remnants of its existence are a promotional poster that bills it as 'an action packed story of a Sea-monster with Thrills, Suspense and What Not?', lobby cards, its soundtrack, the cover of the lyrics leaflet, and a censor script, which have become collector's items.
