Two films later, the Masti franchise has made the audience familiar with its template. How the monotony of marriage makes three buddies seek for some harmless fun, has proven to make for a few good laughs and a lot of moolah. Even in its third stint, the naughty popcorn entertainer offers ample chuckles sticking to the raunchy premise.
Director Indra Kumar plays on the plusses of his cast. He banks on the crackling camaraderie of Vivek, Aftab and Riteish. The three of them are loud but sincere. Their bromance and escapades (did we mean sexcapades?) doesn’t fail to tickle your funny bone. Urvashi Rautela (Yamaha Fascino Miss Diva-Miss Universe India 2015) delivers on every count. She is easy on the eyes, ups the oomph quotient, dances like a dream and has a catchy chemistry with the boys.
Kumar and his writers whip up a story about their tryst with the ghost of ravishing woman who died a virgin. She seeks sex to attain Nirvana. It could’ve been a lot funnier with some better writing.
The director makes his men stay dedicated to the goofy gags, which they pull off effortlessly. The lame innuendos, the silly jokes and humour about the genitals are judiciously packed into the script. Some of them will get you laughing and others might make seethe with rage. Be prepared to bear a lot of overacting. Aftab seems possessed by the spirit of Ranjit (he even sounds like him). Sanjay Mishra takes his gyaan from Karan Johar ( ‘Har pal yahan, jee bhar jiyo. Yeh dastaan, kal ho na ho?’ – he sermonizes). The film’s ladies are reduced to mere caricatures who are either nagging their ‘bitter’ halves or observing Karva chauth vrats.
For those who have a taste in adult comedies, Great Grand Masti is a fun weekend watch and one of the better ones we've seen this year. Go guffaw!

Great Grand Masti is about a ghost who needs sex. No, I’m not kidding. Ragini died a virgin. Her aatma won’t get shanti until she enjoys a suhaag raat. Enter our three heroes – Amar, Prem and Meet. If you’ve watched the earlier films in the franchise, you will know that they are all married but they function like dogs in heat - minimal intelligence and raging libidos. They are always, always looking for sex.
They come to the haveli where Ragini (Urvashi Rautela) resides – she wafts around wearing cholis so tight and so tiny that I was worried one would rip off if she took a deep breath. Ragini insists that they sleep with her willingly because, ‘masti ka mazaa zabardasti mein nahin hai’. But sleeping with her means death. And so our boys must save themselves and actually say no.
