EK VIllIAN REVIEW] BOX OFFICE
on rampage after his love has been killed, he brings some hype and passion in the movie and certain intensity
which unfortunately, in this case can only go this far and no further
We are looking at the movie that is deeply flawed and fatally self-defeating
Much are expected from the Director after "Ashiqui 2" Alas, Suri chooses to wallow in unnecessary and
at times prolonged brutaity rather than focus on the tender love story between the seething brute and
the bubbly babe.
Nothing any thing new in this movie to show it their audience. The silent indignant loner and the gregarious
chirpy girl next door. Haven't we seen Amitabh and Jaya take those two characters to the acme of perfection in Hrishikesh "Milli"
"Ek Villain" is "Milli" over-heaped with a maelstrom of mayhem, mostly uncalled-for and sometimes
atrociously out of place. The action sometimes borders on the utterly ludicrous. This isn't first time when the
director seems to enjoy visualizing the exploits of a sadistic serial killer. In Murdur 2, the graphic gruesome
killings of the serial offender were recorded with an embrassing backhanded relish.
The Killer in Ek Villian is a henpecked husband moonlighting as a guy who believes if life screws you use
a screwdriver to screw others people.
Providentially, this incoherent serial killer is played by Ritesh who interprets the character with more
cogency than it demands
Suri dimishes the brutality of the serial killer by offsetting it with the love story between the criminally
inclined Siddarth and the sunshine girl SHRadda who insists on telling the criminal stories.
More regrettable are the plot's mood swings. In spite of the tragic overtones the love story never
quits acquires the wings that you'd expect a romance between hero and heroine. The sinister often makes way for the silly, specially when Musician Remo Fernandos shows up as a gangster replete with an accent
that is hard to identify as the Korean Film that Suri has adopted into the strange brew of brutal and the tender.
However Shaad playing cop displays a powerful screen presence.
There are many lapses of continuity in the storytelling all trying to pass off as a stylish non-linear love story
told backwards. One of the turning points in the story when Siddarth character befriends his wife killer little son in a church is such a widly improbable shot in the dark, you wonder what the director were thinking.
In the End We can Say
We expect so much and we gets so Little.\
That's Life;
