Mastii 4 movie review: Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani film deliver a charmless offensive

The guys are now distinctly older, with less hair on the head, and flesh on their faces, but they clearly haven’t done any growing up: what used to cause their nether body parts to stiffen hasn’t changed. The ‘jokes’ are still as terrible as they were; no, worse: Prem, an expert at getting animals to mate, using some kind of liquid he labels ‘jaanwaron ka viagra’, calls himself a master-baiter. Or is it mater? Who cares, right?

Arshad Warsi and Nargis Fakhri show up as Kaamdev and Menaka, a husband-and-wife who grant each other an annual ‘love visa’. That’s basically shorthand for short-haul infidelity, which is, according to this pair, the passport to a happy marriage. The trio muff up their chances. Now it’s time for their wives to get theirs, at which point they are aghast: it’s okay for them to play the field, but their biwis eyeing paraaye mard, hawww.

Words like lingam and chingam pop up in a sentence; the number sixty-nine comes up again, groan. Creatures great and small hump a human: sure, the poor animals are computer-generated, but still. Nothing is spared in this charmless offensive: gay people, old people, married people, are all targeted.

Somewhere in this puerile exercise, Tusshar Kapoor turns up as a Russian hood called Putinwa, or maybe by then, I was hallucinating.

And beyond caring.
