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 through.
'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 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 VFX 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!
