Two decades ago, Masti came as a light-hearted, slightly naughty comedy that became an audience favorite due to its timing and chemistry. Actors Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani built an entire franchise on that formula, and took it further with Grand Masti (2013) and Great Grand Masti (2014). In such a situation, everyone was eagerly waiting for its next sequel i.e. Masti 4. In such a situation, Masti 4 has been released today i.e. on 21 November. Now that the movie is out, read this review first if you are planning to watch the movie.
The story of the film is very simple
In the UK, three married friends Amar, Meet and Prem (Ritesh, Vivek Aftab) get stuck in their dysfunctional domestic routine. After this, he eventually borrows a strange idea called ‘Love Visa’ from his special friend Kamaraj i.e. Arshad, whose wife Nora gives him a week’s freedom every year to do whatever he wants. All three are very upset with their wives. In such a situation, they also demand the same, due to which suspicions, finger-pointing and misunderstandings begin.
review
As the audience was waiting for the release of Masti 4, it did not live up to the expectations of the people. The film may be a multi-starrer, but Riteish Deshmukh alone seemed to command it. Ritesh has played the role of Amar in the film with complete sincerity. At the same time, Aftab Shivdasani has always understood the tone of this franchise, and when he goes overboard, it feels like it was intentional. Although Vivek Oberoi crosses the line from over-the-top to tiresome more than once, he’s not the worst thing about this installment. Among the supporting cast, Tusshar Kapoor’s Don Pablo Putineva had the potential to deliver the kind of absurdity that this franchise thrives on, but the writing never seems to let him get there. Genelia Deshmukh’s cameo was well liked.
