Masti (2004)

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.

MastiAlthough 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....

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".

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.
