Mastizaade: Movie review; Starring Sunny Leone, this sex comedy is high on testosterone, but low on IQ, however, the actress does manage to hold her own in the double role she essays. Otherwise, the film, which also features Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor is a blow to viewers’ sensibilities. (Bollywood Hungama)

Mastizaade box office collections opened on a slow note, garnering Rs 7.99 crore on day 1 as the Sunny Leone sex comedy was unable to draw the masses to the theatres – it had an occupancy rate of 30 per cent on Friday and that translated to a not too impressive earnings total. (Bollywood Hungama)

The duo chance upon twin sisters Laila and Lily Lele, effectively played by Sunny Leone, only to realise that their ‘chick-rays’ skills are ineffective and that, according to them, this is a sign of true love. What follows is their pursuit to woo the sisters. Mastizaade script pivoting on a flat, wafer-thin plot is injected with equally frivolous, insufferable sub-plots and risque jokes. With lazily crafted exposition, the film tilts heavily on done-to-death scenes and dialogues with sexual innuendo which is loaded with puns, rhymes, double entendre and names like Lele, Kele, Chotiya, Urashit and Sondas. The characters are one-dimensional with most of them obsessed with sex. (Bollywood Hungama)

On the performance front, every actor in Mastizaade executes buffoonery with aplomb and flourish. However, Tusshar and Vir Das lack the charisma of macho beefcakes. They are asexual dowdies and that is what makes this film a drudgery. Riteish Deshmukh as their friend Deepak in an undeveloped character in a minuscule role is charming, but unexploited.

With the right amount of oomph, Sunny Leone in a double role is the saving grace in Mastizaade. She essays the roles of Laila and Lily with distinct and loud costumes and mannerisms, especially speech. While she is fluent as Laila, she stammers and stutters at opportune moments as the innocent Lily. (Bollywood Hungama)

Of the supporting cast in Mastizaade, Asrani as Urashit – Laila and Lily’s father and Suresh Menon as ‘Sondas’, his openly gay son, are stereotypical and eyesores. Sushmita Mukherjee as Asrani’s wife and Gizele Thakral as the banker Titli Boobna is wasted. Shaad Randhawa who plays Deshpremi Singh, Lily’s the wheel-chair bound fiance is a pleasant surprise but the character does not do anything to boost his career. (Bollywood Hungama)

Mastizaade boasts of a cleverly manipulative cinematography, especially Sunny Leone’s introductory scene. The music with a few rehashes of Sunny Leone’s popular numbers does nothing to boost the viewing experience. Overall, with blatant product placements which include boosting Pattaya tourism, poor humour and garish treatment, the film fails to leave an impression. Film: ‘Mastizaade; Director: Milap Zaveri; Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Vir Das, Sunny Leone, Riteish Deshmukh, Suresh Menon and Shaad Randhawa; Rating: * (Bollywood Hungama)
