Masti

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
