Great Grand Masti is about a ghost who needs sex. No, I’m not kidding. Ragini died a virgin. Her aatma won’t get shanti until she enjoys a suhaag raat. Enter our three heroes – Amar, Prem and Meet. If you’ve watched the earlier films in the franchise, you will know that they are all married but they function like dogs in heat - minimal intelligence and raging libidos. They are always, always looking for sex.
They come to the haveli where Ragini ( Urvashi Rautela) resides – she wafts around wearing cholis so tight and so tiny that I was worried one would rip off if she took a deep breath. Ragini insists that they sleep with her willingly because, ‘masti ka mazaa zabardasti mein nahin hai’. But sleeping with her means death. And so our boys must save themselves and actually say no.
Words cannot adequately convey how torturous this film is. How can I explain what it’s like to see Aftab Shivdasani pretend to play a piano with his penis? Or Vivek Oberoi imagine that his hulking brother-in-law is coming on to him. Or Riteish Deshmukh offer himself to his shrieking mother-in-law, played by Usha Nadkarni.
At one point, Prem tries to take a crap outdoors. He thinks that a cobra has bitten him on his rear end. He suggests that one of his friends suck out the poison. Amar says it’s such a relief that the cobra didn’t bite the front.
