Ek Villain tells us about Guru (Sidharth) who's a gangster works for the mafia man Caesar (Remo Fernandez). His dark past scares him incessantly. But as fortune would have it, his life crosses path with Aisha (Shraddha) the bubbly, vivacious girl who changes his life, adding sunshine to his cheerless ill-humored being. Ek Villain Movie Review
The cold blooded murderer undergoes a stark transformation as love changes him completely. Just when the two were beginning to settle down into a happy, blissful married life, Aisha falls prey to a catastrophic event. Guru is lost without the love of his life and is determined to hunt down the culprit.
Guru does find the miscreant Rakesh (Riteish) but cannot understand the reason behind his psychopathic nature. The story revolves around whether Guru understand Rakesh’s motives behind killing Aisha? Does Guru manage to get even with Rakesh? And mostly does Guru return to his dark, sinister world or carry forward in Aisha’s path of uncorrupted living?

The film commences with the massive catastrophe which forms the pivot of the story. Interestingly Mohit adapts a smart reverse narration strategy this time, which works in favor of his film. Beginning with how a local Goa based Gangster Guru falls for the vivacious and visibly bubbly Shraddha, the film completely changes its tone in sudden outburst. Ranging from melancholy to anguish, pain and anger, the film’s characters exhibit boundless hues. When there is even an ounce of sympathy for a psychopathic killer, it is not hard to pin point that the filmmaker has done his job bang on.
Unlike the persistently grey films of Suri we have watched earlier, there is too much optimism, hope and love in this one. The romance between Guru and Aisha is probably not a novel one, involving the regular bad-guy-turns-good-for-the-girl staple but Tushar Hirannandani’s writing infuses a certain degree of freshness to their chemistry. She is a dying, growing richly abundant joke cracking, chatterbox with an unmissable shrill voice. He is preoccupied with depressing, murderous gangster. But something clicks. The backstory of Guru’s troubled past comes handy here as Aisha walks into his life like ‘sunshine’. At a cue Aisha tells Guru, that he never stopped being the 8 year old who witnessed his parents’ death. A special mention here goes to dialogue writer Milap Zaveri, who has penned down unusually tender lines that furthered the pull between its leads. He is certainly brilliant when not aggressive.
Distracting from the usual revenge dramas, the film’s narrative keeps the past and the present running parallel. The script is structured in such a way that at no point do these focus needlessly. While Aisha’s presence brought transformation in Guru into a different man altogether, the attack on her brings out the bloodthirsty cannibal in him. He is hungrily looking for the person who attacks who you know has no chance of getting away easy. The culprit, Rakesh is a character who will evoke pity. Facing great deal of adverse criticism at work from bosses to being the constant victim of an over-expecting wife’s nagging, the story captures Rakesh’s side to graphic detail.
The unpleasant portions of the film falls straight out of the strongly appealing plot of the movie. Yet nothing here is unwarranted. In the pre-climax scene, where Riteish is instigating Sidharth to kill him, the psychopath’s plea is so simple. He wants to die a hero in his wife’s eyes. All he wants is to hear ‘I love you’ from her! The aspirations of a man who kills at his capricious humor isn’t anything even close to lofty. The thoroughly disarranged psychopath wins in that one scene. The final fight sequence is high timbre drama and by the time the end credits roll down, it will be hard to refrain from being overwhelmed.
Sidharth Malhotra catapults himself ahead of all the young actors around, raising himself above the league of actors he is associated with. It would be an understatement to say he is superlative. He is in fact far ahead than that. In one of the romantic songs, where a gangster is falling in love with a woman, the actor’s expressions are perfect. He stares at her with the perfection of being in confusion, puzzled and lost. He even gets to do an Amitabh Bachchan from Shehenshah and the angry young man look and feel is fantastic. Exhibiting each emotion from heartbreak to pain to anger with such faultless ease, Malhotra is completely enjoyable and phenomenal.
Riteish Deshmukh doesn’t remain far behind matching up to him. He is tremendously wicked and the plainness in his eyes have a haunting quality. He talks to his victims after he murders them, telling them about his nagging wife and about how much he loves her. There is no sexual attraction between him and his victims but Riteish does bring out on his face superbly the peace after a murder. He looks positively rejuvenated and very few would have been able to play this role with such perfection. Deshmukh invests himself completely to the skin of his character and he is every bit damn good!
Shraddha Kapoor talks too much in the film and that’s the most appropriate observation. Justifying her role with perfection she is way better than Aashiqui 2. She fits into her character very neatly and does a stellar job. Her chemistry accompanying Sidharth is dreamy and memorable. Shaking violently in her near death turmoil, Shraddha stole the scene and heightened the impact multitudinous.
Aamna Sharif makes a re-entry on the silver screens after a while and she still has the impromptu quality of delivering well. She is memorable and justifies the reason for Riteish’s pent up frustration.
Kamaal Rashid Khan makes for good comic relief and he even gets to use his iconic #2RsPpl phrase.
Final Word: Ek Villain Movie Review is an easygoing affair that breaks down the boundaries of regular thriller. Mohit Suri has raised the bar with this film that is fascinatingly shot and crisply edited. At 2 hours, 7 minutes, the film benefits from the inspired lucidity in writing and dialogues. But mostly, it is the not to be foreseen skin Sidharth and Riteish don in this film that pulls the carpet from under your feet.
The actors outstanding performances remain the movie’s most tempting bit and that's enough bright reason to watch it once again!
Ek Villain deserves a 4.5 for its intoxicating nature and the worth enough punch.
