'MASTI' has all it takes to appeal to the cinegoers.
Indra Kumar's 'Masti' is a delightful and witty farce on the subject of sex. In his directorial debut DIL, the director showed a flair for light entertainers. In DIL and ISHQ later, the director and his team of writers merged light moments and dramatic portions proportionately. But in MASTI, there's no serious moment at all. It attempts to tickle your funny bone and Indra succeeds to a large extent.
Story
Meet (Vivek Oberoi), Amar (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Prem (Aftab Shivdasani) are close friends who've had their share of fun when in college. But when married, they discover the hell behind the heaven, the bickering behind the bliss and the agony behind the ecstasy.
Frustrated with their marital experiences, the trio gear up to do some masti and decide that the only way to spice up their lives is to seek to excitement outside home. And then to meet and exchange notes.
They embark on their wacky and hilarious adventure where they search for forbidden fun. But before they could taste the delicious fruit of bigamy, their adventure comes to a screeching halt. A twist in the tale brings them face-to-face with Sikander (Ajay Devgan), a cop.
What could be worse - a cop suspecting their involvement in a crime or the danger of being exposed in front of their unsuspecting wives?
The film gathers speed as Lara Dutta enters the scene. And the interval point takes the film to a different high altogether, with the story getting into the crime mould.
Although the post-interval portions have their share of funny and entertaining moments, the pace is erratic in this half. The escapades of the three protagonists are quite hilarious, especially between Ritesh Deshmukh and Rakhi Sawant.
One expects the climax to perk up the proceedings, but the finale lets you down to an extent. The suspense/mystery factor goes out of the window the moment the mystery is solved.
Performance
Aftab is absolutely remarkable in the film, proving that his timing for comic sequences is just perfect. Ritesh Deshmukh follows next with an incredible performance. Vivek Oberoi tries hard to look the character, but is not at ease this time around. Ajay Devgan comes in the post-interval portions and does well in a role that seems tailormade. Lara Dutta looks the part she has been asked to portray and she looks convincing. Amongst the wives, Genelia is the best, followed by Amrita Rao. While Genelia looks the stern and demanding wife and is sure to be noticed, Amrita carries off the over-possessive bit well. Tara Sharma doesn't impress at all.
Music:
Anand Raaj Anand's music is impressive. 'Ek Kunwara', 'Chori Chori' and 'Chain Khuli Ki' are foot-tapping and come at the right point.
