Ek Villain Returns: Review of the New Bollywood Movie

The sequel, “Ek Villain Returns,” which was releasing eight years after the original, gives a new spin on the idea that “every story has a villain.” This time, the plot broadens its scope by featuring two male characters who alternate between being heroes and villains, one of whom is disguising while the other is attempting to reveal his true identity. This notion that everyone possesses both heroic and villainous traits, with which one emerges as the dominant force depending on the circumstances, may have some merit.

Review of the film Ek Villain Returns: Arjun Kapoor and John Abraham’s production reaches a new low

However, a convoluted storyline and unimpressive acting do not make a good movie. In contrast, the average “Ek Villain,” starring Siddharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh, and Shraddha Kapoor, seems to be a better movie.

Little bit view of “Ek Villian  Returns”

Gautam, by Arjun Kapoor, is a spoil, affluent brat who struts into and out of his father’s opulent office, outdoor performance halls, and wedding venues. A breakup pushes him into a variety of dubious behaviours, and the movie tries to convince us that he is a decent-hearted man-child looking for a good woman (Tara Sutaria) to save him from himself. John Abraham plays Bhairav, a cab driver who is innocent and naïve and who is in love with a lovely young woman (Disha Patani) whose deceit is concealing under a young face.

What else does the two men fight in this game of “find the serial killer?” When the script can be bothering to find them, they also appear in scenes with their significant others. Patani and Sutaria both get the chance to speak, but only after their men have caused some havoc. As they scramble to clean up the mess, they are more famous for their svelte lines than their dialogue.

Ditto Bhairav stress on one-sided love

There’s an attempt at actual characterisation. Gautam is given life-lessons by his millionaire father: only when you support someone, you will grow. Ditto Bhairav, who the dictum this movie wants to push– one-side love can be enough. But whatever happened to strong plots and story-telling? An able actor like JD Chakrvarthy, part of the crime team trying to crack the case. It is to flounder: the cops, as ever, are late to the party, which involves a zoo-keeper and buckets of human flesh. Even by the law of diminishing returns, “Ek Villain Returns” has fallen to a low low. Mohit Suri used to be able to retain us. This is with his editions of his dark, pulpy cosmos, buoyed by Sufi ditties.
