6/10
The 10 sec cameo at the end was far better than the whole films acting department
30 July 2022
The first Ek Villian was never my favourite but it worked quite a lot because of the cute chemistry between Siddharth and Shraddha and the terrific performance by Riteish Deshmukh who in 2014 was known mostly for comic role but not a role like killer one. Not to forget the masterpiece music album that will rule playlists for many decades .

Cut to 2022, Ek Villian returns . Mohit Suri decided to remove all cuteness , emotions and acting out of it and made Ek Villian returns, a sequel noone ever wanted.

The film starts off pretty well with lots of intriguing parts that left me wondering what is going on but soon in 2nd half, things gets pieced together, and by the end , you realise you watched a bizzare illogical film with a bizzare yet seen before climax (in an Amir Khan film, spoilers for those who can guess it).

The only thing that held my attention with all the weird stuff going on was the interesting screenplay that was interesting enough to hold my attention till the end.

Had the screenplay been boring, i would have been *issed off by the cringe moments that the film has along with some really really terrible dialogues. What's this using "hashtag" while conversing ? "I became hashtag famous"! , then there are constantly dialogues like "Mai Tera Hero, tu meri villian" repeated a million times throughout the film and it irritated me. Ha Bhai pata hai Ek Villian dekh rahe hai you don't have to say that dialogue to make us remind what we are watching.

Songs. Big disappointment 😥😥. I thought even if the film was bad or good, atleast the music album would be chartbuster but sadly other than "Dil", no other song clicked. And my god did they ruin Galliyan!! The original Galliyan had such a cute sweet video of Shraddha and Siddharth in it but now they replaced it with a terrible lusty video that forces you to cringe.

There is no emotions nothing in this sequel. You don't feel for any actor. Their performance is equally average. None were good. Arjun was casted only because he possess that stoic look for a goon like person like him. He possesses no charm like Siddharth did. John is the same. Actresses need not be discussed. They are equally bad, not to forget that Qiran girl who was super cringy in her accent.

Overall, just a one time watch. Oh and one more thing. Right at the end there is an exciting cameo of someone, that persons 10 sec cameo was better than the whole films acting department.
