[#Jatt On Hunt]

Directed by: Mohit Suri
Produced by: Balaji Motion Pictures
Starring: Siddharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh, Shraddha Kapoor, Aamna Sharif, Remo Fernandez.
Music by: Ankit Tiwari, Mithoon, Soch
After what seemed to be a never ending saga of silly films in Bollywood, finally as a breath of fresh air comes Ek Villain. With its plain, simple, engaging and intriguing plot, it manages to leave you in awe of everything you see for two and a half hours.
Here is Mohit Suri’s EK VILLAIN movie review:
Guru(Siddharth Malhotra) is a don working for his boss Caesar (Remo Fernandez). He is haunted by his past life and finds it difficult to live a normal life and hence resorts to killing and bloodshed.
He crosses paths with the bubbly, full of life, happy-go-lucky- Aisha(Shraddha Kapoor) who changes his life and brings sunshine into his dark world. They fall in love and get married.
Just as they enter marital bliss, Aisha is found murdered in a mysterious manner. Outraged, Guru goes out to find the ‘villain’ in his love story. He learns of Rakesh’s(Riteish Deshmukh)hand behind the death of his wife. The next half of the story revolves around Guru avenging the murder of his beloved, trying to understand the reason behind Rakesh’s hideous act and coming face to face with reality.
The film has been beautiful weaved by Mohit Suri. Like Aashiqui 2, the story is crystal clear and has a great set of actors.
Siddharth Malhotra is convincing as a good guy gone bad. He steals your heart with his superb acting.
Shraddha Kapoor is at her usual best in the film. She looks stunning and does a fab job.
What comes as a surprise package is actor Riteish Deshmukh. Coming out of his comfort zone, Riteish has delivered a masterpiece of a performance with Ek Villain.
Aamna Sharif is good and quite suits the role she has been given. She plays Ritesih’s gorgeous angry wife.
A special mention about the song Awari. The song is an item number and has the sweet Prachi Desai in a hot and bold avatar, shaking to the beat.
The music of the film is soulful, adding to the brilliance of this tale. The twists and turns are in place and will hold your attention from the start until the curtains drop.
Rating: 4.5/5

Ek Villian Challenges Jai Ho For Highest Opening Day Of 2014
Ek Villian is set to have a very good first day with collections and is challenging Jai Ho for the highest first day of the year. It is sure to be amongst top three and should beat Gunday which is at number two and even possibly challenge Jai Ho.

The film has an outside chance of beating Jai Ho first day as collections of many multiplexes are coming out better than Jai Ho but its likely that the mass centres and bigger screen count will keep it slightly below Jai Ho.

The film had a strong start in the morning and the places which were lower picked up by afternoon. Ek Villian is looking at a 15 crore nett figure on the early figures and could even go a bit higher to challenge the 16.75 crore nett of Jai Ho.


Ek Villian Set For A Huge Saturday​

Ek Villian is looking at another big day as it Saturday collections should come in the 15 crore nett range. It is a drop from Friday of about 10% but that was inevitable due to the excellent collections on day one..

Ther drop at some single screens is a bit more than normal but that is probably as collections were high for this type of film on its first day. The multiplexes look set for a strong run as overall they were pretty much at the same levels as Friday with some places seeing growth and others dipping a bit.

The Saturday business like the Friday business will be only second to Jai Ho this year. Ek Villian is looking at 50 crore nett or near 50 crore nett weekend. .

Ek Villain has massive, humongous start!
The business is showing an upward trend! After last week's HUMSHAKALS that was panned by critics and yet managed to post decent collections at the box-office, this week witnessed the battle between the much-talked-about and keenly-anticipated film EK VILLAIN and the Hollywood giant TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION. Apart from these two major releases, another film that will be competing fiercely is the Punjabi biggie PUNJAB 1984.

Living up to the expectations, EK VILLAIN dominated the market place with a massive opening across all sectors. In fact, the tremendous hype that the film had generated prior to its release has resulted in an overwhelming start everywhere. TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, which was expected to pose a tough competitor to EK VILLAIN, was, in fact, sidelined by the massive start that the Mohit Suri-directed film has fetched. However, both these big ticket ventures will be affected in the Northern belt due to PUNJAB 1984 ruling the roost.

In a nutshell, EK VILLAIN is expected to be the first choice of cinegoers, while PUNJAB 1984 is expected to lead in North.​

 

[[JUGRAJ SINGH]]

A hero. A heroine. And a villain. That's the standard template Bollywood has been using for decades now. Very infrequently do you come across a film that creates undeniable curiosity for the antagonist. Mohit Suri's EK VILLAIN is one of those rare films.

The attention-grabbing trailers and the mesmerizing soundtrack have generated substantial curiosity for the film. So much so that the know-alls are drawing parallels with the Korean thriller I SAW THE DEVIL [2010]. The grapevine gains credibility because the two films -- the Korean as well as EK VILLAIN -- focus on the serial killer and how the male protagonist, whose life has overturned due to a distressing occurrence, courtesy the serial killer, gets even with the antagonist. The resemblance ends there.

The similarities apart, EK VILLAIN charters a novel route completely. The characters, the reason that compel a simpleton to slip into the robes of a serial killer, the clash between the good versus evil factions are dissimilar when compared to the Korean film. So, there!

Let's enlighten you about the premise, before we proceed further! Guru [Sidharth Malhotra] is a quiet, tough and ruthless guy working for a gangster [Remo Fernandes] in Goa. A dark past continues to haunt Guru, until he meets Aisha [Shraddha Kapoor]. He falls in love with her and subsequently marries her.

Guru quits his job and moves from Goa to Mumbai to make a new beginning with Aisha. Just when things seem perfect, she falls prey to an attack...

Devastated, Guru starts hunting the miscreant and is shocked to learn of his seemingly innocuous and unpretentious identity. Something is amiss and Guru is unable to place a finger on the precise problem. What is the assailant's motive?

Instead of narrating the tale in a linear fashion, Mohit Suri uses an altogether different mode this time -- reverse narration -- whereby the story unfolds after the catastrophe has occurred. The tender moments between the lovers, the upheaval in their lives caused by the antagonist, the twisted game of cat and mouse and the thrilling twist in the finale... Mohit has a knack of narrating stories with flourish and the tale he sets out to narrate in EK VILLAIN keeps you on your toes all through.

Mohit makes EK VILLAIN an enthralling experience, no two opinions on that. Although a number of movies have focused on serial killers, the talented raconteur along with screenplay writer Tushar Hiranandani [also the creative director of the film] makes sure they pack several remarkable twists that transcend the genre, making it a novel experience for the spectator. The undercurrent of tension and the violent crimes are intertwined skillfully with the affectionate moments between the lovers and the emotional turmoil that the protagonist goes through. The writing, in short, keeps you captivated right through the finale, which, again, is not of the run of the mill variety. As a matter of fact, the clash between the good and the evil towards the concluding stages is the icing on the cake.

Mohit's movies are intensely violent, most of the times, and EK VILLAIN follows the same format. Given the nature of the subject, Mohit keeps the proceedings dark, but not repulsive. At the same time, the ruthlessness of the antagonist is depicted minus blood, gore and explicit visuals.

One has come to expect a winning soundtrack from Mohit in film after film and the music of EK VILLAIN lives up to the gargantuan expectations. This being his first movie outside of Vishesh Films, a production house synonymous with chartbusters, it's imperative that Mohit scores on this front as well and score he does. 'Galliyan', 'Banjaara', 'Zaroorat' and 'Awari' -- each of the tracks is soulful and reverberate in your memory even after the screening has concluded.

Dialogue [Milap Milan Zaveri] is another highpoint of the enterprise, garnishing the well penned and well executed sequences with flourish. In fact, Milap, who is known for witty and double entendres, surprises you with punch-packed lines that decorate the sequences wonderfully. Cinematography [DoP: Vishnu Rao] captures the vision of the storyteller on celluloid to perfection. While the film is visually rich, the underwater sequences stay in your memory. The action sequences, thankfully, are not overdone and balanced neatly in the proceedings. Background music [Raju Singh] is superb.

After repeatedly being cast in fun-loving/naughty parts in film after film, Riteish Deshmukh gambles with a dark, intense, sadistic character in EK VILLAIN. It's a radical shift from what he has portrayed thus far and I must add, the actor carries off the unpretentious, sinister streak with brilliance. A middle class man who's fighting his inner demons, you take to the performance all the more because Riteish manages to keep it fine-drawn and plausible.

Sidharth Malhotra is an absolute revelation, catching you with complete surprise as he handles several complicated moments with exceptional understanding. Recall the portions that portray him simmering with pent up anger. This must've been a challenging character to interpret, since the actor gets to portray varied shades and as he gets into the groove, you realize that the three-film-old actor has finally come of age.

Shraddha Kapoor, the catalyst who moves the story forward, looks dew-fresh and manages to add so much to every sequence she features in. Again, the part she gets to portray is not of the run-of-the-mill variety or ornamental in the scheme of things, for she has to move the story frontward. Post AASHIQUI-2, this is yet another performance that's sure to multiply her fan-following.

Mohit uses the supporting cast most appropriately. Aamna Shariff is in super form as the nagging wife. Her sequences with Riteish are first-rate. Shaad Randhawa is top notch. The coolness with which he carries off his part is sure to catch your eye. Kamaal R. Khan springs a pleasant surprise. He gets to reprise a character that's sure to be an instant hit with his fans. Remo Fernandes handles his part very well. Asif Basra is perfect. Prachi Desai sizzles in the song 'Awari'.

On the whole, EK VILLAIN is a stylish, spellbinding and terrifying edge-of-the-seat thriller. It's a step forward in this genre, without doubt. A sure-shot winner!​

Ek Villain hit the silver screen on June 27, 2014, with stars Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles. Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra is basking in the success of the film, and Shraddha Kapoor has gone on record stating that she wants to be a part of all Mohit Suri‘s films.
Earlier, Salman Khan gifted Sidharth Malhotra a designer watch after watching the film. Going by the two films; Vidya Balan‘s Bobby Jasoos and Armaan Jain‘s Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, that released this week (July 04, 2014) there would be nothing to worry for Ek Villain.
In fact, in the coming days, if the film keeps up its steady pace, it will surely hit the 100 crore mark as well.
