BOLLYWOOD GRAND MASTI
EDITOR'S PICK
`Grand
Masti` all about double entendres
Rating: no
rating
We can re-christen "Grand Masti" as "Dildo Chahta Hai". And
if that sounds crude then wait till you see and hear what Indra Kumar's new
cocksure comedy has in store for you. There is no pulling back from the black
hole of luridness this time.
I remember many of Indra Kumar's film featured a particular tree, which the
director considers lucky. There is a tree here in "Grand Masti" too,
where a rigid college principal hangs any student who looks with lascivious
intent at the girls on the campus.
The three leering...sorry leading men who come together represent the spirit of
defiant devil-may-care and chase women. If you feel movies that objectify women
must be discouraged, then you are advised to stay as far away from this horny
farce as possible.
There are the comedies. Then there are the SEX comedies. Filled with innuendos,
suggestive leery double-meaning dialogues that make us chuckle and giggle even
if we are not the sort who like to exchange dirty jokes in the SMS, "Grand
Masti" has itself a ball at the expense of basic good taste.
The gags in "Grand Masti" unabashedly celebrate the puerile spirit of
SMS forwards. If you packaged those pssst-pssst jokes from your puberty in
plenty of loud aggressive dialogues loaded with double meanings and oodles of
close-ups, you'd get into the spirit of "Grand Masti".
To their credit Aftab Shivdasani, Vivek Oberoi and Ritesh Deshmukh - now in
their mid-30s - get into the spirit of the sex-comedy full-on. Oh, they love
talking dirty!
The one thing that works fully in this film's favour is it unabashed homage to
horniness. Our three heroes are perpetually aroused. To prove it they emanate
moans groans and sighs constantly.
Kumar has never been a slave to subtlety. Here he pulls out all stops. He also
pulls out other ummentionable objects that are defiantly pointed into our faces.
One really can't complain about the film's remarkably steep level of innuendos.
Not a single member of the audience for "Grand Masti" expects anything
but coarse humour borrowed from low-brow Gujarati plays.
Writer Milap Milan Jhaveri's wickedly wanton word-play leaves no space for
subtlety in the script.
Stand-up comedian Suresh Menon shows up as a mock-villain wearing a golden
underwear.
The obscenity flows out unstopped, unchecked, uncaring of rudimentary rules of
decency. Having declared this to be irreverent territory director Kumar doesn't
really care how lowbrow the humour gets. And the jokes happily really plumb to
unimaginable depths.
More than the boys I salute the three pairs of ladies playing the trio of
gharwallis and baaharwallis for surrendering to the sexually suggestive spirit
of the proceedings.
The writing and direction in a film such as this is either a sign of absolute
innocence about political correctness or indicative of an obstinate disregard
for all good taste.
