First Hawas then murder and now mas ti 2004 much better than 2013 and 2016 film it was only grand and great why the director have make sequel of this movie great grand mast I was better but grand mast I was so much vulgar this movie was not vulgar there were some scenes that were vulgar not every scenes was vulgar this movie is the best franchise from this series it is very old movie and old is gold acting is very good . screenplay is also good editing is also good direction was also good music is very good good job Anand raj Anand . action was good. Romance was very good. emotional scenes were average. Comedy was best . there is very naughty scenes but not vulgar . Lara dutta was looking very beautiful because she is beauty queen . very good movie you can watch this movie with your family. Bye good night sweet dreams .

I really liked this film it was so funny and had me in stitches, I am a fan of Vivek and i think he is a great actor, Aftab was good and Ritesh was very, very funny, he really suites the comedy roles.Amrita is so cute in this film, she played her role very well and looked beautiful in the red outfit she wore in the movie, even Lara Dutta was pretty good in the film, it just goes to show that you can have both beauty and the talent in bollywood.

Basically the story is about 3 guys who are happily married and are a little bored with their lives so they all decide to have a affair? kinda pathetic really but that is what happens, as the film progresses on they meet the same woman and all 3 of them start seeing the same woman at the same time, the ending was pretty crap but the music was really good, i loved that song "ek kuwara", it is a really nice shaadi tune, go and check it out.

I kinda dig the idea of Bollywood films- you know saturated colours, lush decor, amazing outfits and so on- but I never really rent them, since I am quite afraid of the song and dance numbers and the story lines are too highly dramatic.

I have seen about 4 Indian films- Agnivarsha, Kama Sutra and Monsoon Wedding and Masti, and I suppose the last one is the only Bollywood one and I really enjoyed it. Kama Sutra wasn't much to talk about, Agnivarsha was excellent, but more esoteric, so between Monsoon Wedding and Masti- I think Masti takes the cake.

Monsoon Wedding got quite big here and it was such a trivial story- it started with a promise for something and wound up in nowhere bland land +offered no eye candy. Masti on the other hand doesn't attempt to run for an Oscar and is absolutely fabulously enjoyable and stoked with pretty people and pretty decor and even the music numbers are cool- I watched them.

Indra Kumar known for dramatic films mixed with over the top comedy(mostly in first half)e.g. DIL, BETA, ISHQ, AASHIQ tried to make a complete comedy on the lines of American PIE

The film is about adultery, sex treated in a funny way and the jokes are very funny at times especially the problems depicting their marriage and the decision of affair is also treated well The whole angle makes you laugh at times though illogical but you shouldn't ask questions The tempo looses till Lara reveals the plan and then the twist in the tale The Ajay track is very well handled The entire track of Ajay-Viveik- Aftab- Ritiesh is hilarious but some gags are treated badly one is the overdose of the gay jokes which is funny at first and then done to death Also the Rakhi Sawant portion Plus the melodrama towards the finale The climax too isn't that great

Direction by Indra Kumar is good in most parts Music is okay Amongst actors Aftab Shivdasani sharpens his comic skills though he is too loud at places but he does a great job in most places Ritiesh steals the show with his brilliant performance He looks the character and plays it with brilliance, his expressions only make you laugh mostly, He is natural Viveik tries a bit hard and does well in some portions but looks out of place in some Lara Dutta is good Ajay Devgan fits his part very well and deadpan humour suits him well Amongst wives Genelia is very good, Amrita does her part well though she is too much at times Tara Sharma bores Archana is hilarious

Let me start with what a number of reviewers have said already. Masti took Bollywood sexual comedy to a new level. It was a pioneer in foraying into subjects which Hindi movies were really afraid to venture into. There are lots and lots of double-meaning jokes. Another movie which released later and took a similar initiative was "Kya Kool Hain Hum".

Three friends, having gotten frustrated by their mundane marriage lives and badgering wives decide to go in the search of women for extra- marital affairs and meet after a month to compare notes. Their misjudgement hurls them onto the path of blackmail, murder and mental torment; where in the end they realize that "ghar ki daal" (home cooked curry) is better than "bahar ki biryani" (out-cooked chicken rice).

As for the movie itself, if judged overall, yes - it has a lot of plot holes; yes - the basic premise is far fetched; yes - it can be termed as LGBT-phobic by modern audience, especially if the audience in question is western; and not to mention the sometimes over-the-top and not-so- subtle acting. But it really really works for you if viewed in the context of India in 2004. I was smiling half the movie and a lot of scenes had me in splits.

The acting majorly rests on the shoulders of the three leads who have done their job admirably well. They appeared at real ease in most of the scenes and were energetic with the body language and facial expressions. Vivek Oberoi, as a reformed playboy married to a clingy wife, is the unofficial lead of the leads and is a bit constrained than his sidekicks which the usually the case. Ritiesh Deshmukh, as the clueless dentist is awesome in parts especially in the fight scene with his Mother-in-law. But the intermittent visions he has with a fluttering eyelid kind of annoyed me. But, the man who takes the cake and is treat to watch in every scene is undoubtedly Aftab Shivdasani. You can predict each and every expression he is going to have, but still laugh at his antics. The writers could have come up with something better than the "Lele" story line to use his abilities.

Ajay Devgan has a one dimensional role and does a one dimensional job. Among the wives, Amrita "the satellite" Rao is the only one who can really act. The other two girls have to improve on a lot of things. Lara Dutta is sensual, but perhaps a little bit tame, as a seductress. They nailed it with the music. "Dil de diya hain" is the song of 2004 for me.

All-in-all a fun fare for sure. If you want a 2.5 hour laugh ride to escape a bad day, go for it! In case you are not comfortable with Hindi, make sure you have good subtitles, because a lot of jokes are cultural and slang-based.
