Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
silvan-desouza 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 PIEThe 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
vchenoah The best scene in this movie was the pro wrestler mother-in-law!! OK and maybe the Crying Game scene...Absolutely hilarious! The rest was regrettably forgetful. Sorry Vivek, but how realistic was your OVERNIGHT fashion change! From greasy to gorgeous in no time flat? There were too many questions and loose threads with a too convenient and predictable ending. First question: Why did no one inquire after Sonia? Second question: Why did the guys not question that they fell in love with the same woman? Loved the song & dance sequences, but this movie could have been 30 minutes shorter. It took too much time to tell a too predictable story. The only person pitiable was the worshipful wife. Sorry guys.
Akira-29 This review contains possible spoilers... but frankly, this movie is completely rotten anyway, so there is possibly very little to "spoil". So read on, intrepid IMDb browser. The following paragraphs may save you 164 minutes of your life. I know there are about a thousand other things I would have rather done with the time I spent watching "Masti".Dear filmmakers: Why oh why must you insult our intelligence with ridiculous films like this? While the Bollywood comedy genre needs some serious mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, what it doesn't need is the homophobic mouth-to-zipper type humor seen in this film. Seriously, is there anything worse than this film's stereotypical treatment of gay people? Are they simply objects to laugh at and ridicule? The subtitles for this film liberally use the word "fa%*ot*" and the audience is expected to laugh along while (gasp) some fat uncle presupposes the wrong thing about two of the film's main studs. And the humor? It's subtle. Especially if your idea of subtlety is a sledgehammer between the eyes. The actors mime and contort their faces, like they get paid extra to overact. I've seen better acting in kindergarten plays. Meanwhile, the sound effects guy takes turns liberally punching the whistle and "boing!" buttons on his soundboard. The characters are vapid and not very likable. The dialogue is horrible - especially the repeated analogy between "chicken biryani" and adultery. The plot line is just plain silly... especially the "twist" at the end. (Vivek, you really ought to know better, man... maybe it's time to get a new agent.) And of course, we have the obligatory few scenes lifted straight from other movies... including an embarrassing scene involving a toilet plunger "borrowed" from "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". Believe me, folks, "Ace Ventura" - even with Jim Carrey talking through his butt - is pure unfiltered genius compared to "Masti".
evangeline 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.
