This musical revenge drama is watchable and even likeable because of its appealing storytelling, moving romance, thrilling twists & turns, solid performances especially of Riteish Deshmukh's never seen before corking devilish act and of course its mesmerizing songs! But this avenge story isn't something that is unique or a new one. It does remind you of MURDER 2 though the plot of both these films is different. However, director Mohit Suri succeeds in keeping your interest well intact till the very end thanks to the way he brings changes in scenes from flashbacks to present ones despite few hiccups at times. The film becomes unconvincing post interval for a bit but fortunately grabs momentum thereafter. As far as acting is concerned, everyone does an appreciable job. Siddharth, in his 3rd movie, as an angry young baddie does justice to his intensed character. He is both earnest and believable. Shraddha is fantastically endearing and looks damn awesome. But but but... its Riteish Deshmukh playing a frustrated common man turned murderer is simply first rate and definitely the best thing about this movie. I was so amazed to see such versatality from an actor who is mainly known for his comic timing. Wow Riteish, You Rock!
Of the supporting casts, Aamna Sharif & Shaad Randhwa have performed nicely. And i must say, KRK(The Controversial Drama King) has entertained well in a cameo. Another huge pluspoint of this film is its wonderful music. After the musical blockbuster AASHIQUI 2, Composers Mithoon & Ankit excel in providing tuneful melodies once again. Among the tracks, Banjara is my favorite followed by Hamdard.
Thus, i had a good time viewing Ek Villain if not great. Its one of the better films of the year and a worthy musical successor to Mohit Suri's last outing AASHIQUI 2.
My Rating - 3.5/5
Go for it friends!!!
