Movie Review
Masti is a comedy treating serious issues like adultery,
homosexuality in a light manner.
Meeth (Vivek Oberoi), Amar (Ritesh Deshmukh)
and Prem (Aftab Shivdasani) were close buddies in college.
They meet after some years. Now all three of them are
married and hating every moment of it. They share their
woes with each other.
Meeth has to deal with a wife who contacts him every
half and hour or so because she misses him, Amar has
to deal with not only his wife but also his mother in
law who always hassles him and Prem's wife is so religious
that she has no time for him.
Exasperated with their martial lives, the three of them
decide to have fun outside their marriage. The escapades
they embark on, are quite hilarious. Monica (Lara Dutta)
enter their lives and she entails them in her web and
tries to blackmail them. The friends adventurous journey
takes a turn for the worse when Monika gets killed and
they are suspected for murder. The tough cop Sikander
( Ajay Devgan) is on their trail.
The movie looks at serious issues like
adultery in an entirely different manner.. the dialogues
by Milap Zaveri and Tushar Hiranandani are especially
whacky with ample doses of sex without being crude or
vulgar. The director has dealt the otherwise taboo theme
deftly. But the climax does not keep up with the pace
of the movie. Cinematography is good and the music is
ok.
The cast also has rendered a competing performance.
Of the three, Aftab Shivdasani steals the show, even
enacting a Jim Carrey like role convincingly. Ritesh
Desmukh also makes an impact with his wonderful performance
especially his encounter with Rakhi Sawant. Vivek Oberoi
is not up to the mark this time, after his much talked
about roles in Road and Saathiya. The rest of the cast
gives adequate support. Satish Shah as the doctor who
suspects the trio to be homosexual, is hilarious, Lara
Dutta in her short role is convincing and Ajay Devgan
too does his part well. Of the wives, Amrita Rao and
Genelia are good.
A sexual comedy with spicy dialogues..
can be a hit with audience who like this genre. |
