Ek Villain Returns

When I thought nothing could stoop lower than a tripun tilak guy terrorizing Indians, Ek Villian goes even lower. John and Arjun are examples of the most talentless actors right now and they were pitted against each other for a bland and nauseous meal. It is predictable with cringe expressions. The direction was meh and editing was laughable.

These kind of movies are better for OTTs, not Multi.

Also, most positive reviews written here are by production house workers, just click on their profile and you'll see all joined in July. I therefore, will take from bollywood from now on. They're toxic and energy sucking entities.

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.

I don't know why people are hating this movie so much. While people are looking out for massy south films, they are trying to dump this one which has entertainment value of most massy entertainers. The story was great, the plot was engaging. I have seen worse films. KGF for example, was too annoying and I have no idea why people love it so much. I couldn't sit throught it for more than 10 minutes. The screenplay, the plot of this movie was good enough. If they could have afforded better actors and dialogue writers, then maybe this movie would have done better as a whole. This movie has its flaws but it isn't as bad as people make it to be. I enjoyed it. I think instead of going for stylised masala pot boiler, had this been made specifically for OTT with more erotic R-rated scenes and gore, this movie would have achieved a cult status. I guess film makers should evolve theselves for OTT and give up this obsession for theatre audience. Let the theatre be for theatrical movies. Mystry thrillers deserve to be made with more grounded performance. The audience has evolved and so has our tastes. But anyways, this movie was a decent watch.

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.
