Ek Villain Returns

This movie is perfect example where Indian cinema is heading now because of favoritism.. arjun kapoor doesn't know how to act, disha patani doesn't know anything else other than nudity..why mohit suri couldn't cast some good actors... this movie could have been way better if mohit suri wouldn't have casted disha patani, arjun kapoor and Tara sutaria.. it pissed me off.

This is a disaster no proper screen play Mohit Suri seems to have lost his charm too another flop from Bollywood, this movie only has illogical scenes and over body show from actresses, it will feel like you are watching crime patrol or CID. Please stop it guys you can't just keep on fooling the audience everytime.

The first Ek Villian was never my favourite but it worked quite a lot because of the cute chemistry between Siddharth and Shraddha and the terrific performance by Riteish Deshmukh who in 2014 was known mostly for comic role but not a role like killer one. Not to forget the masterpiece music album that will rule playlists for many decades .

Cut to 2022, Ek Villian returns . Mohit Suri decided to remove all cuteness , emotions and acting out of it and made Ek Villian returns, a sequel noone ever wanted.

The film starts off pretty well with lots of intriguing parts that left me wondering what is going on but soon in 2nd half, things gets pieced together, and by the end , you realise you watched a bizzare illogical film with a bizzare yet seen before climax (in an Amir Khan film, spoilers for those who can guess it).

The only thing that held my attention with all the weird stuff going on was the interesting screenplay that was interesting enough to hold my attention till the end.

Had the screenplay been boring, i would have been *issed off by the cringe moments that the film has along with some really really terrible dialogues. What's this using "hashtag" while conversing ? "I became hashtag famous"! , then there are constantly dialogues like "Mai Tera Hero, tu meri villian" repeated a million times throughout the film and it irritated me. Ha Bhai pata hai Ek Villian dekh rahe hai you don't have to say that dialogue to make us remind what we are watching.

Songs. Big disappointment 😥😥. I thought even if the film was bad or good, atleast the music album would be chartbuster but sadly other than "Dil", no other song clicked. And my god did they ruin Galliyan!! The original Galliyan had such a cute sweet video of Shraddha and Siddharth in it but now they replaced it with a terrible lusty video that forces you to cringe.

There is no emotions nothing in this sequel. You don't feel for any actor. Their performance is equally average. None were good. Arjun was casted only because he possess that stoic look for a goon like person like him. He possesses no charm like Siddharth did. John is the same. Actresses need not be discussed. They are equally bad, not to forget that Qiran girl who was super cringy in her accent.

Overall, just a one time watch. Oh and one more thing. Right at the end there is an exciting cameo of someone, that persons 10 sec cameo was better than the whole films acting department.

Ek Villain Returns (2022) Movie Review -

Mohit Suri managed to get an exciting cast of John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria together for Ek Villain Returns. Did any of them excite you for an acting-driven show? Ask this question to yourself and please keep the answer to yourself only. Well, not many people know this, or maybe some social media fanatics know, that Mohit Suri is one of those Bollywood directors who has done more remakes and adaptations than the original works. Forget other films for now, let's talk about Ek Villain (2014). Many of today's youth cinema lovers have seen the South Korean action thriller "I Saw The Devil" (2010), so they know how much its plot contributes to Ek Villain. With Ek Villain Returns, he tries a new erotic film with those gone-dated thriller formulas we saw in Hollywood classics like "Fight Club," "The Sixth Sense," and "Shutter Island." This mess of an erotic thriller and psychic notions spoils good-looking logic for you and, moreover, terrible performances and unnecessary loud moments burn down every single expectation of yours.

Ek Villain Returns is a story about love, betrayal, and revenge, all mixed into a boring musical potboiler. Bhairav (John Abraham), a cab driver in love with a salesgirl Rasika (Disha Patani), is now a serial killer-cum-messiah for the one-sided lovers. On the other hand, Gautam (Arjun Kapoor), the spoiled son of a rich businessman, falls in love with an emerging rockstar singer, Aarvi (Tara Sutaria). With opposite thoughts about love, these two male lovers cross each other as their motives clash to decide who's the villain and who's the hero, and who wins at the end. The involvement of the police is as useless as traffic signals in car racing games, so you can assume how assuring the writing is.

In the press conference, Ekta Kapoor said that Rohit Shetty called it a blockbuster script and passed it to Mohit Suri. I can understand why Rohit passed the script, but I cannot understand why he called it a "blockbuster one." The last two films where Mohit was involved in the writing were Crook (2010) and Raaz 2 (2009). He returns as a writer again. Why? Aseem Arora is doing a mix bag nowadays, so basically the duo has written a mix bag for the viewers, which confers audiences with known formulas with illogical characters. That suspense with John and Disha's characters is clearly visible by the time you reach the interval point, because you see them behaving weirdly all of a sudden, without any concrete reasons. One can easily predict the suspense there, while Arjun and Tara's characters are sidelined already. Those crooked one-sided lovers have nothing to learn from here, like they had in "Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2".

Talking about performances, I think two minutes of silence should be followed here. John Abraham's choices of films and roles are getting worse day by day. The same man who has worked in films like "Parmanu" and "Batla House" has done five duds in a row-"Pagalpanti," "Mumbai Saga," "Satyameva Jayate 2," "Attack Part 1," and "EVR". He always says, "Good films work and the bad ones don't." Well, he is damn honest and right. Hopefully, we'll see the result again with Ek Villian Returns. Arjun Kapoor looks like a handsome playboy and has acted well in a few scenes. Disha Patani spills glamour with grey shades, and that's the best she could do. For Tara Sutaria, the selection is even worse than John. SOTY 2, Marjaavaan, Tadap, Heropanti 2 and now this. Come on, Tara, please justify your name by doing something starry. I hope that happens with your next one, "Apurva," as you have called it that one content-driven film and the role you were looking for. The rest of the actors in Ek Villain Returns are barely noticeable, so better not talk about them. And yes, Riteish Deshmukh fans are in for an illogical surprise here. Those who have seen Ek Villain (2014) will know why it's illogical.

The Ek Villain franchise is known for music, and even Mohit Suri's films are known for their music albums more than the content. Ek Villain Returns had a huge pressure of that thing but somehow managed to carry the load safely. However, the video songs have made this film damn slow and boring. The audios of "Dil," "Galiyaan Returns," "Shaamat," and "Naa Tere Bin" are groovy enough, though. Can't say well done, but well attempted by Ankit Tiwari, Tanishk Bagchi and Kaushik-Guddu. The dialogues are bearable and the action sequences are passable. Technically, Ek Villain Returns is a much better product than what it is as a whole. The editing has made things simple for you because all the trauma passes quickly in two hours so that it doesn't become a headache, and the background score is scary enough to awaken you in case you have fallen asleep during the watch.

Mohit Suri's last outing Malang introduced us to cliches in his own dark and erotic form, yet failed to make a good cinematic experience. Comparatively, Malang looks a better film than Ek Villain Returns now. The pandemic has made viewers more mature, and this will surely make things difficult for Ek Villain Returns. Suri's draft is weak, but his direction looks helpless as you see the paperwork being converted into on-screen spectacle with no improvisation. The framework is so bad in some scenes, and who said cut to those extra loud moments that have no feelings? It was Mohit only. At least in the writing, Ek Villain deserved a better successor. I hate remakes, but if Mohit is trying to rip off things like this in so-called original films, then it's better he remakes or adopts Korean films. As a whole, Ek Villain Returns is a huge disappointment in almost every department, be it acting, writing, screenwriting, or direction. Will we see addition of box office to this list soon?

RATING - 4/10*

Director : how bad actors we want Casting director : yes My god arjun kapoor and john abraham face expressions ,they have only 1 expression . The dialogue delivery is so bad ..some of the cringy dialogues: Ladka sex kre toh hero ,ladki sex kre toh zero .
