Milap Zaveri’s latest film, ‘Mastiii 4’, hits theaters in Mumbai bringing with it high expectations that unfortunately fall flat. Marketed as a sex comedy, the movie attempts to blend humor with bold themes but ends up as an unwatchable spectacle marred by prudish undertones and poor execution.
The film, showcasing notable actors including Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, promises a raucous ride but delivers a disjointed narrative that centers on stunted male fantasies rather than genuine comedy or engaging storytelling. Instead of the progressive and witty humor audiences seek, ‘Mastiii 4’ parades as a prudish porn fantasy that never quite commits to either being daring or entertaining.
Visually, the movie is unremarkable, lacking the flair to captivate viewers. The plot is thin and predictable, leaving little room for character development. Moreover, the screenplay fails to strike the right balance, landing awkwardly between cringe-worthy moments and ill-timed jokes that detract rather than add to the viewing experience.
While the cast tries their best to elevate the dull script with their performances, they are ultimately constrained by the lack of substance. The film’s attempt to focus on male-centric humor comes across as regressive and misses opportunities to explore more meaningful or contemporary themes.
‘Mastiii 4’ serves as a stark reminder that sex comedies require smart writing and nuanced humor to succeed—elements that are sadly missing in this outing. Bollywood and Hollywood enthusiasts looking for a refreshingly entertaining film may want to steer clear.
