Movie Review - Ek Villain
I am writing a movie review after a long time. The major reason for this is the lack of good Hindi releases recently. Anyways given this drought of watchable fare from Bollywood, we ended up going for Ek Villain without really checking out the reviews - how bad could it be? And honestly, I have come out confused. I don't really know how I feel about it.
The story is about Guru (Siddharth Malhotra) - a gunda who converts to a honest and loving person when he comes in touch with Aisha (Shraddha Kapoor). But their happiness is short-lived as she is murdered, and Guru thereafter seeks revenge.
The good - Its a different story, not really seen before in Hindi movies. And Siddharth Malhotra looks good, as well as does not over-act. He looks so effortless in his acting - a definite plus to the film. As was Riteish Deshmukh - as the bhola-bhala looking middle class telephone repairman, hen-pecked husband with an alternate story. He acts superbly and plays the character well.
The bad - Shraddha Kapoor was irritating in her bubbly avatar. Also, the story had some very conveninet turns and very typical Hindi movie dialogues which made you believe it less. Plus the whole angle of the CBI officer was irrelevant. I don't think it added anything to the story than a confusing aspect. And the action was gory - more than usually seen in Bollywood.
Still, I think its a watchable movie, if you do not go with high expectations and are looking for a different kind of story. Would go for 2.5 stars.
