Great Grand Masti is the third in the financially successful Masti series directed by Indra Kumar and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani as friends Amar, Meet and Prem, three sexually frustrated married men who are desperately in search of a roll in the hay with any and every available good-looking young woman.
Ragini (Urvashi Rautela) died a virgin. Her aatma won’t get shanti until she enjoys a suhaag raat. Here enter our three heroes – Amar, Prem and Meet three married friends, each going through a dry spell with their respective wives, head out to the hinterland in the hope of seducing some gaon ki goris into their beds. They come to the haveli where Ragini resides who wears tight cholis. Ragini insists that they sleep with her willingly because, ‘masti ka mazaa zabardasti mein nahin hai’. However, sleeping with her, means death. Therefore, our boys must save themselves and actually say no.
Great Grand Masti had positioned itself as an adult comedy with an added zing of horror. Some films make you roll your eyes so much that they begin to hurt. GGM is that kind of movie. It cannot be sufficiently expressed in words how torturous this film is. And what you get from this cheap and loud sex comedy!!! here is a list :
• Disgusting rape jokes
• Sexism directed at women
• Old women are described as “baasi paav” (stale bread),
• A fascination for mammary glands, represented by a busty bai from a town named Doodhwadi, which leads to an abundance of jokes about milk.
• Degrading objectification of women, including a song called Lipstick laga ke in which a male star drums a woman’s bum and sings about “apple jaisi booty teri”.
• Filthy portrayal of men as being slaves of their peculiar sexual urges.
• Cheesy shots
• Cheap rhyming dialogues
• A mockery of disability
At the end, all the crudeness is expediently rounded off with talk of karwa chauth, tradition and culture and ultimately Great Grand Masti comes across as nothing more than a joke on the viewers.
Nothing to say about acting, because it is as awful as the film. I think director Indra Kumar’s only instruction was - make faces. Aftab, Riteish and Vivek did that widely. Personally, I believe Riteish Deshmukh is a good actor and has nice comic timing. But then again.. I felt sad for him. And now comes the leading lady. In an interview, Rautela described Great Grand Masti as a ‘family film’. She said it was a ‘horror comedy on the naughtier side’. That one line is more memorable than her work here.
In spite of everything, if you really want to watch Great Grand Masti! Watch it on your own risk.
