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.

Masti is one of the most enjoyable Indian comedies released since 'Dil Chatah Hai', and is a must see for Bollywood movie goers who enjoy comedies and are open minded.

The start of the movie is superb, with effortless acting and great comic timing shown by the main actors; the first 1/3 of the movie deserves a 10/10. Later however, the film tries to take itself too seriously and fails in some respects; Ajay Devgan showed dry acting for a very dry role, 'I hate crime, and i hate criminals'; please...

However the dialog remains enjoyable throughout, and the ending seems to tie things up well. The songs are also fun and stay within the plot of the film; i.e. no flying off to different locations around the world changing clothes every few lines.

As for the girls, Amrita Rao is the Queen of Cute; both she and Lara seem to be the only girls with acting and dancing abilities. However the rest may something to be desired in different departments.

All round, this movie is packed full of laughs and Masti, which all make up for the lack of plot, and thus Masti is a must see if you enjoy a good laugh.

Watched this movie during my engineering days and loved it. Very enjoyable and humourous. Aftab, vivek and Riteish did a great job in the movie and the whole movie is just about them. Ajay devgan adds an interesting twist in the film.

Good music, great comedy, good performances and an absolute entertainer. Masti is pure masti.

Masti – a movie that surpassed all my expectations and went on to become one of my most enjoyed movies this year. Going in to watch this movie I had all the reservations – no actors that I really did like; a director that I had written off since his Ishq days; songs that I had not heard of; and the expectation that bollywood cannot do comedy humour for the British audience. How wrong was I going to be proven!!!

The comedy was spot on as were the apparent and intended lines and joke – this movie seriously did take the comedy to a crude new level not seen in bollywood. One would have to say that this movie did indeed take one step further for bollywood as American Pie did for Hollywood. The songs certainly did grow on me, especially the 'seyya ji' item number – the others are just as tappy (except the 'one the roof' – well all can't be perfect!!!). The next surprise was that this great movie was from none other than Indra Kumar – someone I had written off since his movie ISHQ over a decade ago. The director had to be good, talented and experienced to have this great comedic timing as well as being able to juggle all the actors. Finally, the actors were good and have to say that I am beginnings to like Vivek and certainly beginning to adore Amrita Rao – this girl is hot and one to watch out for.

Having seen this movie I will have to say that I will defiantly be open to the idea that bollywood can do comedy, but will be more excited about Indra Kumars next venture. One movie that I will certainly recommend that you watch, and if you have already watched it I will recommend that you go and watch it again.

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

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.

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.

It has required amount of comical element. A bit of double meaning conversation which again adds some comical part. An average satisifying fun can be felt but not to the level as title suggests.

This was a really funny movie. I have never seen so much sexual humor in an Indian movie before. It was a funny surprise. Everyone gave an awesome performance except for Ritesh Deshmukh. What was he doing in this starcast? He lacked any expressions whatsoever, and his acting was not convincing of all. My favorite was Aftab--he was hilarious! Lara, Vivek, Ajay, and the wives were great. The dialogues and the story was terrific, even if it got just a little serious in the second half. You can tell that the cast had great chemistry. Songs were good. "On the Roof, in the Rain" was the best with the title song as a close runner-up. It was nice how the songs maintained the light atmosphere of the movie.

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 .

Yet again we have three principal characters around whom the whole movie revolves. Isn't that a bit too much inspiration since Dil Chahta Hain? Anyways, the movie justifies each of them nevertheless. Without giving away too much about the plot, its three guys who decide to have extra-marital affair and land into trouble. And then its hilarious cat-and-mouse game with cops (ie. Ajay Devgan).

Noteworthy are the wives of our heros who have distinct character one of them being extremely religious, one being dominative and one being possessive ("You miss me, na?" - Amrita Rao stands out!).

What makes this movie click? Well, the one-liners, sexual innuendos, comedy scenes, properly placed songs and the stern Police Officer.

The director was crystal-clear of the product he wanted to deliver - a fun filled sexual comedy, and has added each bit that seamlessly integrates with the main storyline. And he has been successful, I must admit.

Masti

Although I've already watched this movie and enjoyed it, went to watch it again, this time with the whole family in theater.

Medium: Antony theater, Funasia, Dallas.

What's new?

What can be new when you are watching the movie for the 2nd time? Guess what? There was! I did not notice some of the double meaning jokes very well.. but this time I caught it on big screen.

Noticeable: Repeat Viewability was great! It was a wholesome family entertainer! Haath hi mera saathi was among the notables. Also... YE BHI GHODA CHALANEY JAISA HEE HAI... ek baar chalao.. to jaathe hi reh jaatha hai! The repeat view-ability was also unexpected!

Verdict: Wonderful movie, great songs and good performances. The characters, especially for the wives were well thought of and if you are married, you can easily identify your wife with one of the three types portrayed. Maybe you will walk out with a solution to your problems ;-) I did not find any solutions though....

Thoroughly enjoyable movie. More complex than it appears. In fact it strongly reminded me of Shakespeare's comedies with its different themes of love, marriage, fidelity, parents, children, family, friends, society, communication, etc. Yet, like Shakespeare's comedies, you can laugh out loud at the slapstick comedy. Which I did many times! The scene with the three friends and Lara Dutt at the stop light was too hilarious for words! In addition, the movie was interspersed with the occasional song and dance number in the tradition of Shakespeare's comedies, unlike the requisite 5-6 songs/dances required by Bollywood films. I will definitely be on the look out for more films by this writer.

The movie cover doesn't look like much but your ordinary crappy Indian films with sappy love stories. This movie was entertaining from the start, really great humor, and aftab did a great job with his acting and facial expressions, i seriously rewound the film just to see those faces over n over again. Vivek did well, his acting showed why hes getting great roles these days. Ritesh was also pretty good for someone I haven't heard of. This movie really made me laugh and caught me off guard and kept me tied in to the very end with its many twists and turns. No blood/gore, some action to break the monotony, the suspense was really great, and was long enough and short enough to be enjoyable, the quirks were great as well. Sit down and watch this movie with an open mind and with the subtitles on if you don't understand the language because the dialogues are hilarious. Sometimes it was stupid with certain characters that you will be annoyed with, but looking past that its a great film overall.

I have to admit, I haven't gotten around to watching the movie yet, but the song Chori Chori Chhora Chhori has one of the sexiest beats I have ever heard in an Indian movie before! One of my most favourite songs, with the sensual beat, the saxophone and the ever so provocative 'Just like that...' at the beginning. I understand that, because I have not actually seen this movie, my interpretation of the song might be completely off base, but there is definitely something seductive about the beat. If you don't get around to watching the movie, DO get around to hearing the soundtrack.

Ten stars for that song alone!

I tend to enjoy Bollywood movies without shame, despite the campiness that makes my friends roll their eyes. For example, while the reviews were pretty harsh about Hum Tum, I thought it was cute and satisfying. However, this movie was just awful. The acting was incredibly bad, the story was stupid and abrasive, and the technical quality was dismal. It would not compare favorably to old Hee Haw reruns for subtlety and wit. I gave up half way through the movie. See it if you must, but don't use this movie as an introduction to Bollywood for your uninitiated friends or it will be their first and last. Of course your mileage may vary; numerous other reviewers seemed to think this movie was fabulous, just as several of my friends loved "Weekend at Bernie's" (and I've made it a point to discount their opinions ever since.)
