Ek Villain Returns

The first Ek Villian was never my favourite but it worked quite a lot because of the cute chemistry between Siddharth and Shraddha and the terrific performance by Riteish Deshmukh who in 2014 was known mostly for comic role but not a role like killer one. Not to forget the masterpiece music album that will rule playlists for many decades .

Cut to 2022, Ek Villian returns . Mohit Suri decided to remove all cuteness , emotions and acting out of it and made Ek Villian returns, a sequel noone ever wanted.

The film starts off pretty well with lots of intriguing parts that left me wondering what is going on but soon in 2nd half, things gets pieced together, and by the end , you realise you watched a bizzare illogical film with a bizzare yet seen before climax (in an Amir Khan film, spoilers for those who can guess it).

The only thing that held my attention with all the weird stuff going on was the interesting screenplay that was interesting enough to hold my attention till the end.

Had the screenplay been boring, i would have been *issed off by the cringe moments that the film has along with some really really terrible dialogues. What's this using "hashtag" while conversing ? "I became hashtag famous"! , then there are constantly dialogues like "Mai Tera Hero, tu meri villian" repeated a million times throughout the film and it irritated me. Ha Bhai pata hai Ek Villian dekh rahe hai you don't have to say that dialogue to make us remind what we are watching.

Songs. Big disappointment 😥😥. I thought even if the film was bad or good, atleast the music album would be chartbuster but sadly other than "Dil", no other song clicked. And my god did they ruin Galliyan!! The original Galliyan had such a cute sweet video of Shraddha and Siddharth in it but now they replaced it with a terrible lusty video that forces you to cringe.

There is no emotions nothing in this sequel. You don't feel for any actor. Their performance is equally average. None were good. Arjun was casted only because he possess that stoic look for a goon like person like him. He possesses no charm like Siddharth did. John is the same. Actresses need not be discussed. They are equally bad, not to forget that Qiran girl who was super cringy in her accent.

Overall, just a one time watch. Oh and one more thing. Right at the end there is an exciting cameo of someone, that persons 10 sec cameo was better than the whole films acting department.

This Bollywood product brings together beautiful specimens: Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria for the girls. And John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor for the cattle, i.e. The heaps of muscles and clenched jaws. Both male actors are good at being inexpressive, or expressing blissful love, depending on the scene. The two actresses have key roles in the plot, while being devoid of subtlety as well, but their delicious plastics pass very well to the camera.

For an extremely complex plot (not to say complicated) that mixes moments of romantic comedy, horror in the spirit of slasher movie (here with a hammer with a steamroller editing), action (many fights with bare hands, chase too) and suspense, because it is about a serial killer, or several, two love stories, with in the background the police or the families of our boys and muscles. It's a kind of macédoine that links small sequences of very different tones. Which causes a certain confusion at first, then things start to become clearer in the last third. But this confusion is perfect to maintain the interest.

The film is devoid of subtlety and lightness while being love stories, the whole was treated with a steamroller.

The musical passages (ridiculous love songs, while shortly before we have the killer hitting his victims with a hammer) are not even choreographed (did the film lack the means, or was the tension of the subject deemed not compatible with choreography).

This is a disaster no proper screen play Mohit Suri seems to have lost his charm too another flop from Bollywood, this movie only has illogical scenes and over body show from actresses, it will feel like you are watching crime patrol or CID. Please stop it guys you can't just keep on fooling the audience everytime.

Director : how bad actors we want Casting director : yes My god arjun kapoor and john abraham face expressions ,they have only 1 expression . The dialogue delivery is so bad ..some of the cringy dialogues: Ladka sex kre toh hero ,ladki sex kre toh zero .

There are so many cringy dialogues .arjun kapoor says to tara 34 size is not bad and tara blush ...wtf ...

This movie is perfect example where Indian cinema is heading now because of favoritism.. arjun kapoor doesn't know how to act, disha patani doesn't know anything else other than nudity..why mohit suri couldn't cast some good actors... this movie could have been way better if mohit suri wouldn't have casted disha patani, arjun kapoor and Tara sutaria.. it pissed me off.
