Mastiii 4 movie review: Masti se sar phod!

Director Milap ZaveriActors Vivek Oberoi Aftab Shivdasani Riteish DeshmukhRating 15Herersquos the lifelong commitment terms that fullon film buffs use in order to properly rate their professed love for movies mdash since they love everything they watch in general anywayOnetime watch and repeatwatch The latter since history bears evidence remains exclusive to madcap comedies almost alwaysThatrsquos what the first Masti 2004 directed by Indra Kumar was mdash to my mind an absolute lsquomastwatchrsquo This is supposedly the fourth edition of that IP after Grand Masti 2013 Great Grand Masti 2016In case you arenrsquot aware given this filmrsquos title the characters say so themselves looking straight into the lens every few minutes throughout this pictureThe last time on while literally pointing their five fingers to the camera announcing its next instalmentreturn in the final shotWhatrsquos it about this genrefranchise that deserves such lifetime fidelity I guess it comes from the idea of marriage itself That in India itrsquos somehow seen as something someone has somewhat been forced intoHence the desi middleage jokes that follow all our lives mainly about wives and henpecked husbands And inevitably a mention herein about Thai massages and happy endings after allHerersquos whatrsquos different about Mastiii 4 which is a sign of changing times that one must sufficiently credit the filmmakers forItrsquos the women in the second half of this pic who get to cheat on their husbands while the men must deal with it after all Progressive much Hell yeahAnd so the lsquomastrsquo men of Masti as in perennially in heat like wild lsquosaandrsquobulls flashing condom packs when their wives arenrsquot around mdash Vivek Oberoi Aftab Shivdasani Riteish Deshmukhmdash go around figuring how they can sabotage their spouses from sexual pleasures when they attain the same free passes to be temporarily singleThat free pass is called Love Visa once a year to ldquoboogie woogierdquo the secret to happy marriage as Arshad Warsirsquos character puts it mdash having similarly lived his life summarily fulfilling his sexual fantasies Perfect testimonyHerersquos the rub though While Oberoi Shivdasani Deshmukh mdashsupremely fine actors no doubt how else to pull off such senseless shindig mdash have naturally aged as they must ever since the first Masti their thoroughly interchangeable anonymous wives seem young enough for me as an audience to ID them if theyrsquore legally adultsSomehow this retirementpensionMNREGA scheme to continue inhabiting a popular cinematic universe doesnrsquot apply to female actors they first starred opposite over two decades agoI did notice Genelia Deshmukh in a cameo Also the wellpaid Jacqueline Fernandez shows up for the filmrsquos opening scene and disappears altogether afterCanrsquot recall if she was in any other Masti mdash Irsquove seen all including Mastizaade 2016 just donrsquot remember any and canrsquot bother to go back and read their reviews eitherSince the characters brought it up referencing Mastirsquos first part I barely remember the line suggesting that the way to a manrsquos heart is not through the stomach but right below it Evidently theyrsquore proud of this wisecrackBe that as it may glad to see the tables turn beyond the sexstarved middleaged heroes aiming to net gorgeous bodies from multiple nationalities mdash allowing for newer men into the scene likewise aiming for their wives insteadOnly that once this starts Irsquove endured half the film already scripted by the OG franchise writerdirector Milap Zaveri and the British literary author and VS Naipaul acolyte Farrukh Dhondy Whatrsquos there to look forward toYou know what Tusshar Kapooor as halfBihari halfRussian Pablo Putinwa naturally adlibbing expressions as the completely clueless bloke horsing aroundWhich is what makes him a rather underrated comic fella better known for the similarly mad but far more successful Golmaal seriesThis whole lot as a genre mdash Masti Dhamaal Golmaal Malamaal Weekly Garam Masala No Entry et al mdash belong to the turn of the century when rando funny flicks hit the spot with audiences as a welcome break from cerebrum of the human brainNot that anybody asked for an advice In the long run the movies mentioned above I notice now continue to work if they had appealed to the kids then first mdash Welcome 2007 being mysteriously the Andaz Apna Apna of the 2020sMasti as a series is a sex comedy sadly for the filmmakers Itrsquos hard to sit through its plot throughout yesBut what if you broke up its funniest snippets as separate Instagram reels mdash Oberoi as actor Mehmood or playing the hilarious miabhai from Hyderabad that scene about phone ghoomana or the bit wherethe characters literally eat shithellipI can imagine children cracking up like cray The film is anyway fragmented enough like YouTube shortsThatrsquos where this picture belongs I think in my head stepping out of the theatre mdash rightly contemplating breaking my head against the wall instead sar phod for Mastiii 4 So much for the FOMO
