Review of Masti

Masti (2004)
3/10
Pathetic acting, weak plot, bad movie

Warning: Spoilers
I usually try to keep an open mind on movies and find at least one redeeming factor. In this case, I failed miserably.

Masti is about three husbands who are frustrated with married life for various silly reasons. One wife (Amrita Rao) doesn't give any space, another one (Genelia D'Souza )wants her husband to be the Indian version of Arnold and the third one (Tara Sharma) is so absorbed with religion that her husband doesnt get any. So what do they do? They plan to have extra-marital affairs. Needless to say, things go wrong with all them and they end up in trouble.

The second half of the movie is about how they get out of trouble. I wont subject you to a description. Its not because of the spoilers, but because its simply not worth my time to write it and your time to read it.

Oh, the second half is when Ajay Devgan turns up, over and over again, in unexpected and unnecessary places. Its also when Lara Dutta puts in a reasonable performance. Reasonable because everyone else is so bad.

Problems with the movie: 1) Lack of subtlety. The jokes are loud, the acting is loud, the scenes are loud. The movie is not funny. 2) Bad acting. You have to see it to believe it. The ladies can't act, cant dance and are not very pretty. The men simply scream out their lines and again, cant act very well. 3) Weak plot. Thats an understatement. Of the decade.

In summary, don't waste your time. Go fish or play golf. Those activities will be much more entertaining.
