Masti 4 sticks to the franchiseβs formula of adult comedy, loud humor, and over-the-top situations.
Some jokes land, but many feel repetitive and dated.
Performances are energetic, yet the story is thin and predictable.
Good for mindless fun if you enjoy the series, otherwise skippable.
Introduction(MASTI 4 REVIEW)
Masti 4 is the fourth film in the popular Masti adult-comedy franchise. Once known for its bold humour and entertaining chaos, this installment tries to recreate the magic of the earlier films but struggles to do so. Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, the film again brings together the trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani.
Story
The story revolves around three middle-aged friends who feel bored and trapped in their married lives. In an attempt to relive their carefree youth, they come up with a strange arrangement that allows them temporary freedom from marital responsibilities. What follows is a series of misunderstandings, exaggerated situations, and chaotic events.
While the idea sounds promising on paper, the execution lacks freshness. The plot moves predictably, and many scenes feel stretched only to accommodate jokes rather than story progression.
Performances
Riteish Deshmukh once again proves why he is considered one of the strongest comedy actors in Bollywood. His timing and expressions manage to generate a few laughs even when the script fails.
Aftab Shivdasani appears energetic but is limited by repetitive character traits. Vivek Oberoiβs performance feels inconsistent, often crossing into overacting.
The supporting cast is largely underutilized, and most female characters are written superficially, serving more as visual elements than meaningful contributors to the story.
Direction and Screenplay
The direction heavily depends on loud humour, sexual jokes, and slapstick comedy. Unfortunately, much of the humour feels outdated and repetitive. The screenplay lacks sharpness, and scenes often drag without delivering genuine laughs.
Instead of smart adult comedy, the film relies too much on shock value and double-meaning dialogues, which reduces its overall impact.
Humour and Dialogues
Masti 4 is clearly targeted at an adult audience, but adult humour alone does not guarantee entertainment. Many jokes feel forced, predictable, and sometimes uncomfortable rather than funny. Only a handful of moments succeed due to the actorsβ comic abilities rather than the writing itself.
Music and Technical Aspects
The music is average and forgettable. Songs interrupt the flow of the film instead of enhancing it. Technically, the film looks polished, but good visuals cannot compensate for weak content.
Overall Impact
Compared to the earlier Masti films, especially the first part, this installment feels like a diluted version of the franchise. What once felt naughty but fun now comes across as noisy and tired.
Final Verdict
Masti 4 may appeal to die-hard fans of the franchise who enjoy over-the-top adult comedy without expecting much depth. However, for general audiences, the film offers limited entertainment and fails to bring anything new to the table.
Rating: 2/5
