The third installment in the Masti film series after Masti (2004) and Grand Masti (2013, 'Great Grand Masti' too turns out to be a funny, although very crass sex-comedy, that brings an interesting horror element in the haywire narrative. Its vulgar, loud & even ridiculous at times, but I was enjoying myself almost throughout.
'Great Grand Masti' Synopsis: Amar, Meet and Prem go into a small town where they encounter a 'femme fatale' in the form of Ragini. Ragini is everything they had dreamed of, but she slowly turns into their worst nightmare!
'Great Grand Masti' is fun, because its very sure of itself. This 3rd installment is comfortably vulgar, suggestive & loud. It doesn't aim to be anything else, but to remain simply crazy. While the first-hour is about the 3 protagonist's again struggling to get some "Masti" form their wives, but fail flat on their faces. Its the second-hour more-so, where the film scores. The horror element of the " vengeful bhootni" so to say, is finely set-up & the series of events that follow, are at times hilarious & at times ridiculous. However, 'Great Grand Masti' made laugh more, than bored.
Tushar Hiranandani's Story crosses all boundaries of vulgarity & even crassness, but it aptly captures the zany feel of the film. The Writing is funny, although there are some dull moments in the second-hour. The "vengeful bhootni" harassing its protagonist's, gets repetitive after a point. Nonetheless, there are several hilarious sequences, that do the trick. The Dialouge, however, range from funny to ridiculous. Inder Kumar's Direction is decent. Cinematography & Editing are alright. Art & Costume Design are fair. Make-Up is finely done, but the CG Effects are tacky. Music by Various Artists, is foot-tapping.
Performance-Wise: Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh & Aftab Shivdasani are back as the horny men, who end up in deep trouble here. They all deliver well & carry a very likable on-screen chemistry throughout. Urvashi Rautela springs a pleasant surprise. As the "vengeful bhootni", she delivers confidently & also looks seductive. Of the rest of the cast, Pooja Bose is decent, while Usha Nadkarni & Sanjay Mishra are terrific, as always. Shreyas Talpade & Sudesh Lehri are good in cameos.
On the whole, 'Great Grand Masti' is fun, but only if you have the knack for sex-comedies, with a twist!
