If you have a taste for slapsticks, Villain will make you let out those seldom chuckles. But if not, it will be a little difficult to take in all the humour aimed at. Unlike its name, it will not make you fear any overbearing and cunning character playing the titular role. This happens when a film asserts that a hero always remains a hero. Then who is the villain?
That’s where the major twist happens. Fusing in two romantic tracks and a double-role act added to the mind-boggling experience the director wanted the audience to get. But it’s a far cry. There’s confusion but mostly self-imposed by the characters and not because the script veers towards the climax in a certain way. When Riya (Mimi) is astonished to find that her flight mate Sneha’s (Rittika) boyfriend Joy Chatterjee (Ankush) looks a carbon copy of her own man Raja Chowdhury (Ankush), the plot begins to thicken. But it’s more flab than meat.Some stylised and choreographed songs later, it’s only well-executed action scenes. And Ankush excels in them — from his new avatar to keeping the hunk body language on point, he did enough to invite hoots from his fans. Mimi and Rittika dazzle on screen with impeccable sense of style. It does add to the glamour quotient and stops at that. The music is peppy with Bollywood rapper Badshah’s inclusion but forgettable. The story picks up pace only after the interval. It’s drama all the way. Romance is shortlived in the film and a forced thriller angle loses steam half way.
