Ek Villain Returns

Ek Villains Returns movie review: Leave you brain at home if you insist on seeing Arjun Kapoor and John Abraham's confusing, painful action film.

Rest of the album is just forgettable and doesn't live up to the expectations at all. They are made to appear and disappear from the story as per the director's whim and fancy. There's a fight in the Metro. There's a fight in an old building. I mean who would have imagined that a script like this in today's time would make its predecessor look a much better film. Of all, Kapoor gets to shine and take the cake. Mind you, nothing is clear by now who is the serial killer, who is the villain or the hero.

Arjun Kapoor and John Abraham outdo each other in matching the vacuity of the film. As for Tara Sutaria and Disha Patani, the less said the better.

Ek Villain Returns- a sequel to a film made eight years ago - would be dismissed as a confused, yawn-inducing concoction but for the hammer blows that it rains on our sanity. Yes, one of them is allowed a couple of minutes to hold forth on the agony of not being accepted by her biological father. The film goes to the other extreme and blames the women for how they have ended up. That is how much respect the screenplay accords to the girls. The smiley mask comes back into play and Aarvi has her way as Qiran beats a hasty retreat, leaving the stage to her. A sickeningly misogynistic serial killer thriller, Ek Villain Returns loses no opportunity to snuff out the possibility of common sense making its way into the film.

Here's a detailed report of how Ek Villain Returns starrer John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria has fared at the box office on its ...

With a Rs 6.50 crore start, the movie will be targetting an opening weekend in the vicinity of Rs 22 crore and then depending on the Monday hold to hit the half century mark in the long run. While the start is decent, the makers could have pushed the opening in the vicinity of Rs 8 crore with a better music album. The morning shows indicated an opening of Rs 6 crore, but the occupancy spiked as the day progressed, especially in the mass belts.

It starts with the murder or abduction of singer Aarvi (Tara Sutaria), and the alleged perpetrator is the son of a business tycoon, Gautam (Arjun Kapoor). They ...

In conclusion, please watch “Ek Villain Returns” just for the unintentionally hilarious moments in the second half of the movie. The only song from “Ek Villain Returns” that sticks is “Dil.” And can someone, for the love of whatever they consider holy, convince Suri that that’s not the way to make action scenes look like they’ve been done in one take? Please do appreciate Shaad Randhawa’s hustle as he does the bare minimum in Suri’s films, hardly leaves a mark, and returns in the next film with that same energy. Mohit Suri is so afraid that his audience won’t get his supremely intelligent film that he keeps spelling out everything that is happening on the screen. “Ek Villain Returns” is, surprisingly, a direct sequel to “Ek Villain” and is co-written and directed by Mohit Suri, along with co-writer Aseem Arrora. It starts with the murder or abduction of singer Aarvi (Tara Sutaria), and the alleged perpetrator is the son of a business tycoon, Gautam (Arjun Kapoor). They were evidently a couple before things went sour between the two, and hence it’s assumed that Gautam is a criminal. “Ek Villain Returns” also has Tara Sutaria in it. The verdict is still out on “Awarapan” because I haven’t watched it in a long time, and I remember it being good. But (and this is a big but), Suri and Aseem take such an asinine, disgusting, filthy, and, ironically, misogynistic route to tell their story that all those attempts at sending a message to the audience are washed away by the constant rain pouring in the movie. All the songs from “Ek Villain” were amazing. They want to say that men will craft the most insane fantasies, which have the ability to warp their perception of reality instead of healing. Both of them make an attempt to say that men cannot accept rejection and they’d rather support a misogynistic serial killer instead of doing the sane thing, i.e., moving on. “Zeher,” “Woh Lamhe,” “Raaz: The Mystery Continues,” “Crook,” “Murder 2”, “Aashiqui 2”, “Ek Villain,” “Hamari Adhuri Kahani,” “Half Girlfriend,” “Malang,” all of them are definitely not worth the time.

Ek Villain Returns opened on a fair note as it collected Rs 6.50 cr on its first day.

For the time being, the industry just has to try to pull crowds into theatres and develop the habit of going to cinemas, since that is extremely critical for the business of movies in the future. The opening of Ek Villain Returns is fair, but only given the circumstances, as a multi-starrer film with a star director like Mohit Suri needs to open much bigger. The star-led films too, have failed to put up numbers.
