Ek Villain is not a good movie. That's the best thing I can say about it. All that I could see through the pretense of acting, story line, script, dialogue, animated peacocks and butterflies was the stereotype of women.
All the women who have any screen space at all in the movie, are well crafted, deep characters.
AWESOME WOMAN NUMBER 1: Shraddha Kapoor. I don't even remember her name in the movie. She is the bubbly, lively Bollywood heroine who breathes beauty and hope into the the dark, black life of our violent villain, Guru.
AWESOME WOMAN NUMBER 2: Riteish Deshmukh's wife, Sulo. This woman is happy with her husband only when he gifts her shit. The other times, when she's not getting gifts, she curses her fate that forced her marriage with such a loser and pushes him out of different places-an auto and their house.
AWESOME WOMAN NUMBER 3: The item girl.
The whole premise of the love story is full of crap. Shraddha Kapoor sees a jailed guy being whipped by the cops. Siddharth Malhotra doesn't even attempt to pull his face into a mild expression of discomfort. His "grunts of pain" come off looking like controlled snorts of laughter. After watching the prisoner being beaten up, our lovely, bright heroine immediately proceeds to stalk him. Then they fall in love. Nice. Smooth. There is something very attractive about killers and gangsters. Sigh! They're so hot!! OMG!!!
Then a whole load of crap follows, suddenly with an item number in the middle that really made no sense. Oh and what's Kamaal R Khan doing in Indian movies? He is by far the most irritating guy in the entire movie. And by irritating I mean that I wanted to do him everything that the Gang does to Frank in the episode A Very Sunny Christmas.
So, in conclusion, don't watch Ek Villain. At all. Ever. Run away from it. Run fast and Run far.
