We all had seen Masti & had definitely loved it, it one of the very first movies in Indian Cinema with adult humour, and we can say that it opened up new gates to the audience with the modern sensibilities & taste for adult humour. Then there was a line up of such films like Kya Kool Hain Hum, Mirchi, Desi Boyz, Delhi Belly, Kya Super Kool Hain Hum, KLPD, and so on !
Grand Masti is a sequel of it’s first installment Masti, it starts of from the college days of Amar(Aftab), Prem(Riteish) & Meet(Vivek) who are crazy or should i use the word HORNY lovers who believe that life is better when their wives do Kamasutra than wearing Mangal Sutra. The story starts when they are invited for a college re-union after 6 years and they are eager to go expecting to see hot girls and have lots of MASTI ! But unfortunately the complete scenario of the college has changed after the principal Robert (Pradeep Rawat) has been very strict with student and does not allow any romantics in the college. What happens to Amar, Prem & Meet ? Do they have fun ? or Do they get stuck in the web by Principal Robert ? Thats what Grand Masti is all about.
Aftab, Ritesh & Vivek remind of Masti and their chemistry as the close buddies, its is a treat to watch all three of them together on the screen. though in this review i wouldn’t like to divulge into individual performances, i would like to make a point that its rather a team game in this movie than individual talent. All three actors have given a hilarious performance and have gelled into the character completely, if we had to rate the performance it would be Ritesh, Aftab & Vivek in that order.
In the female leads Karishma Tanna is a well known face with the TV industry, Manjari Fadnis has done a couple of small roles in a few movies & Bruna Abdullah was seen in a few item songs and blink and miss roles. Besides these three we don’t know any of the remaining 3 actresses and there is nothing extraordinary to speak about them.
The songs of the movie are pathetic, we don’t even feel like sitting in the cinema hall and listen to it leave aside listneing to them anywhere else. Story is a dud and could have been much better, the jokes are all repetitive and most of us must have read it or heard it through some or the other social network platform.
On the whole Grand Masti is a disappointment in all fronts, no where close to its predecessor MASTI its a let down for the fans of the previous film. Although there a few jokes here and there which are capable of you to crack up and laugh out loud but thats about it. The humour is pushy and sometimes goes overboard and tries to make it hilarious but fails. If you have nothing else to do this weekend and don’t mind seeing a senseless comedy at the risk of getting into and embarrassing situation with your wife/husband or your girlfriend/boyfriend then go and see Grand Masti, if you don’t want to spend your time and money you can always wait for its satellite premiere on a movie channel in a few months to come.
My Rating : 2/5 (1 For Good Performances by Aftab, Ritesh & Vivek and 1 for few jokes that are hilarious and keeps you in splits)
