Ek Villain – Film Review

Not all memories are happy, Some leave you with pain... 

Rating: ***

An action-romance film directed by Mohit Suri featuring Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor as the pivotal characters in this violent film loosely based on a Korean film. 

Guru (Sidharth Malhotra) is a quiet, tough and ruthless boy, working for a local don, Prahlad. Guru has a dark past and its disturbing, recurring memories refuse to let Guru lead a normal life day and night.

While being interrogated at the Police station, he has the first glimpse of a girl, Aisha (Shraddha Kapoor) and more than him it is Aisha who is intrigued, impressed with his persona. Aisha is the talkative, ‘ek joke sunoge’ types (which is a bit too much to bear at times).


Ek Villain is intriguiging, edge-of-the-seat drama in the first half. Then onwards there is romance in the air and some enchanting back-ground songs.

Humshakals – Film review

Rating: **

Nine Times the fun. It isn't as promised.



Ram Kapoor is the uncle aka KANS and his nephew is Ashok (Saif Ali Khan). Ashok is seen all throught with Kumar (Riteish Deshmukh), his friend and a director in the board of their family business empire. The story is about these three characters who have their look alikes, and their look alikes too have their look alikes.

Confusing? It really is! The uncle funds an illegal research team of his doctor-friend (Nawwab Shah) who develops a potion so strong that just a drop or two in the drink of the victim, would make him think and behave like a dog.

With this weapon the uncle plans to prove his nephew of unsound mind during a board meeting and get the board vest full power of attorney on his name to grab the fortune.

The premise itself is senseless, which insults the intelligence of a common men. If it were so eary to usurp someone’s wealth, then the world would have been upside down.

Grand Masti - Bollywood Film Review

Grand Masti comes from the makers of Masti (2004), and ever since its initial promos it was projected as an adult comedy film, and so it is.

It isn’t expected to be a family film. Though the comedy at times falls much below our expectations. Simply put, most of the times it is cheap humour.

Take for instance, even the first part – Masti wasn’t appreciated by the family audience or the classes. This one too would be lapped up by the masses. Especially the Indian audience, maybe because there have never been Bollywood adult comedies before which can be equated or compared with.

It is a bit surprising that Deshmukh Junior and Vivek Oberoi signed for such ‘adult comedy’ which in its conclusion, is much below the ideal or broadly adult comedy levels.

Grand Masti is about three ex-students of a college – Amar, Prem and Meet (Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi respectively) and it begins with them teaching their juniors how to have a good time at college. Like for example ‘A’ stands for – and then the camera zooms into the girls’ backside, ‘B’ stands for – and the camera zooms to woman’s chest.

Amar, Prem and Meet are married, but not satisfied with their sex life. The problem with these married men is that their wives give more attention to their family, the kids and their work.
