Great Grand Masti review
From the makers of the horrex Ragini MMS 2 and drug drama Udta Punjab, comes a horrcom (horror plus comedy) - Great Grand Masti. Only this one has next to no laughs. What Great Grand Masti does, knowingly or unknowingly, is subvert the sex comedy genre by having the horny husbands meet their match in an equally horny female ghost who wants to satisfy her own unmet carnal needs and thereby attain nirvana. It also pokes fun at Ekta Kapoor-dominated small screen's latest obsession with shape-shifting female leads (Naagin, Sasural Simar Ka). That's the extent of originality you'll see here. Rest is all brain freeze.
Amar (Riteish Deshmukh), Prem (Aftab Shivdasani) and Meet (Vivek Oberoi) are three friends whose marital life is devoid of sex thanks to the intrusion of unwanted relatives. Amar has a loud, demanding mother-in-law; Prem is distracted by his zealous sister-in-law and Meet is hosting a beefy brother-in-law who inexplicably is aroused whenever Meet tries to get in bed with his wife. The trio heads to Amar's mansion in a village to get laid because our wild guess is that Bangkok was already covered in Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 or Mastizaade. Here they encounter a haveli haunted by Ragini (Urvashi Rautela) who refuses to let them go. Did we mention that she is dressed like an apsara from a bygone era though supposedly she has waited for 50 odd years to get her hands on a man? Suddenly the sex-starved, lecherous men are running scared for their lives. As the men's friendship is tested so is the audiences' capacity to endure a crass film.
There's not much else to say other than that it has a host of gags revolving around a man's member (it can play the piano, no really), lewd and insensitive jokes (old women are so unattractive), barely-clad female characters (there's a maid called Shiney wearing the tiniest blouse seen on screen) and nonsensical songs. The many revolting faces that the heroes make doesn't make this an easier watch. Sanjay Mishra, who has made a habit of making us forget he was amazing in Ankhon Dekhi by playing buffoons, here is a fraud sage that delivers sermons by way of quoting Hindi film songs. Shreyas Talpade is a gigolo named Babu Rangeela who is turned into a chicken and then served as tandoori chicken. Our sympathies go to Usha Nadkarni who at one point has to contend with a sexual assault for supposed laughs. Simply put, no character walks out of GGM with a modicum of respect.
Tushar Hiranandani has writers Aakash Kaushik and Madhur Sharma as his partners in this abominable crime. When one character says, "Maine aap ke saath bahut bura kiya", you're ready to take it as an apology from the filmmakers.
