First things first! The title, GREAT GRAND MASTI, is a clear indicator of what to expect from the film. A film like GRAND MASTI isn’t plot-driven. Not at all. And don’t even expect a story here. It’s more about double entendres, [sexual] puns and gags and the writers go bananas to woo the spectator. There’s nothing left for imagination here, nor does it hinge on puerile or kiddish jokes, since the characters indulge in some really naughty play of words. The humor, let me add, may sound provocative, disgusting and offensive, but come on, what are you expecting from a film like GRAND MASTI?
It’s evident that Indra Kumar is at home directing comedies. In fact, his films are not subtle or subdued at all. The director knows his target audience and crams the film with just about everything that would make the hoi polloi grin from ear to ear. The writers, Tushar Hiranandani and Milap Zaveri, inject humor in every situation and the wit catches you by complete surprise [shock] on several occasions. In fact, the film boasts of several funny sequences, which should be a riot with youngsters.
There’s so much cleavage and skin show, besides jokes, that its target audience — the youth and the masses in general — might overlook it all.
The actors go all out to woo the entertainment-seeking viewers. Riteish has mastered the art of making people laugh and the confidence with which he goes about with his character catches your attention. Vivek is wonderful, shedding his gangster/negative on-screen image and enjoying the fun. Aftab is absolutely in sync with what his character demands. He’s loosened up quite a bit and the comic scenes bear testimony to the fact.
On the whole, GREAT GRAND MASTI will crosses all limits and boundaries vis-a-vis adult humor. This one’sstrictly for those who relish naughty jokes, outrageous lines and scandalous visuals.
