Masti for the whole family!

Warning: Spoilers
Masti means fun and although the plot of this wonderfully hilarious film borders on the dark side of Masti, it nevertheless has its moments and ultimately delivers what it hoped it would at the start of it all, pure entertainment for one and all.

Three men (Vivek Oberoi, Ritesh Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani) upon graduating college, fear what awaits them as they are now eligible bachelors for marriage. The fear that once the get hitched, they would lose their friendship and all that mattered to them as singles. They can lament all they want but slowly and surely, one by one they begin to marry and the years pass by. One day, a chanced reunion sets them taking a trip down memory lane when one of them decides that they can recapture the decadence of their youth by having affairs and they all decide that yes it's the right thing to do. At this point in the film, you will wonder why good-looking men who are married to good-looking women (played by Amrita Rao, Genelia D'Souza and Tara Sharma respectively) would think of such a thing? But when the camera introduces you to the object of their attraction, I guess you can sort of understand why. This Femme Fatale that attracts all three men on separate occasions is played by none other than former beauty queen Lara Dutta. And the song and dance she does with Oberoi is especially spectacular. The casting department for Kaal must have noticed the blinding chemistry between Oberoi and Dutta in this film first.

Just wait until all three of them find out that they've been cheating on their wives with the same woman, you will laugh your head off! Archana Puran Singh, Satish Shah and Ajay Devgan round out the supporting cast with hip-slapping-gut-ripping comedic roles. I didn't like the premise of cheating in the film but I couldn't help but laugh as the plot unfolded. If you don't like the premise of men cheating either, just sit back and watch the plot of Masti unfold. This film is one of my favourites.
