One Line Review: A bite of cheesy treat which seems a fresh piece merely later turns out to be stale when compared to the first serve.

Positive Points: Undoubted comic timing, good piece of cinematography, excellent art direction.

Negative Points: Excess inclusion of explicit content to add more spice to the second edition of the sensible saga of dark comedy.

Plot: After a hell lot of fun in 'Masti', the masti boys Amar (Riteish Deshmukh), Prem (Aftab Shivdasani) and Meet (Vivek Oberoi) are back for august fun in 'Grand Masti'.Though being a sequel to the 2004 release, 'Grand Masti' just carry forwards the lead characters to the second edition with a different story to tell. The film opens up with the leads enjoying their last of college time. All goes well until the nightmare, the new principle Robert Pereira (Pradeep Rawat) walks in and sends a cold vibe through the spice by performing hideous with their pal Harddik. Soon the nightmare ends and the film takes a six years leap to disclose the other side of the coin.

Now the boys have a different tale to tell. Amar is happily married and has a son who is the core reason for his sadness post his marriage. Prem has no such issue, but still his whole family is prepared to screw up his married life. Meet on the other hand has a bigger question mark on his wedlock, being a workaholic Meet's better-half hardly finds a spare time to flung up the spice. His wife is his boss who finds enough pleasure working then that in the bedroom. But soon this time too, doesn't last long for the poor champs, as they get an invite to walk in their past again with a reunion week to be held in their college.

Here is where the actual fun lies and as per the basic concept, Prem gets stuck with another wicked idea which is all set to land them all in a whole new soup of brunette fun, brawl creating an inferno of chaos.

Direction and other technical aspects: After delivering hits like 'Dil', 'Beta' or even 'Masti' for that instance, director Indra Kumar had attempted his hands yet another time in the adulterous-comedy genre. The director has tried to express the same old funda for married angels to get devil by cheating on their wives. But this time around the director has sheerly disappointed with superfluous addition of hell lot of below the belt humor. The director too lacks in showcasing the emotional aspect which is the real twist that turns the bad to become good again.

The editing has lost its rhythm making the shot sequences flow in an opposite direction. The viewers are kept on the quest to think what the scene has to narrate until and unless it catches up speed. This surely breaks the flow and keep the audiences awaiting just to see the next feed of 'A' rated humor, no matter what happens to the plot.

The movie surely proves a mass entertainer, merely for the other side of the crest. The locations are quite refreshing with brightness spread all over the screen, even showcasing its light in the characters attire. Whereas cinematography is concerned, it's not that gaga but average. More of, the cinematography has played a key role to enhance the vulgarity to its peak, on screen.

Performances: Riteish Deshmukh is as usual showcasing his expertise comic timing on screen. Aftab too join in shoulder to shoulder with Riteish. The duo spread chaos on screen bringing a pain in your belly.

According to Vivek's performance in the first edition, the prominent actor has no room to vacant his inbound talent. The actor on an amuse is brilliant showcasing his lust on screen. No doubt he has placed his foot strong to tickle the funny bone.

Regarding the female brigade, the leads Karishma Tanna, Manjari Phadnis and Sonalee Kulkarni have justified their characters. Apart from the three beauties the rest others Maryam Zakaria and Kainaat Arora too gel up well with their acting skills. However, Bruna Abdullah has a hell lot to learn about the art as well as the language and pronunciation. Concerned about two heavy weights in the cast, Suresh Menon and Pradeep Rawat are talents exploited in real sense.

Music: The film hardly possess three tracks of which the first one "Zulmi Zulmi" is just unnoticeable. The ace music composer Anand Raj Anand has tried his level best to at least upgrade the title track "Grand Masti" and has had a well swim to the shore. Overall the tracks including the third "Tu Bhi Mood Mein" are average which are remembered only when the brain is said to do so.

Final Verdict: As the film still revolves around the same 'idea' concept, it has nothing more than a meaningless humor to offer. To add on the weightage to the grownup comedy sequel, there's hell lot of dark comic scenes that will uncomfy you if attended with a diametric gender.
