Synopsis

Another serial murderer has been born eight years after Rakesh Mahadkar reigned terror in Mumbai. More brutal and dangerous, but with the same cover, the Smiley Mask. Ek Villain Returns is the narrative of two guys who are in a one-sided love relationship. The pathways they choose to realise their love stories determine who is the Hero and who is the Villain.

Story

The film opens with an introduction to the characters of Gautam and Aarvi, followed by Rasika and Bhairav. The film establishes early on that John’s character is killing every female who has broken someone’s heart.

During this time, he meets Aarvi and decides to kill her in order to relieve Gautam’s heart. The storyline for the film is horrible, and nothing can redeem it. Throughout the film, the characters perform absurd things that do nothing except make you laugh at the screenplay.

The script’s weak writing and some filthy dialogue make matters worse. If you want to laugh and make fun of anything, this movie is for you; it provides you with plenty of opportunities to do so. The film has a metro train that stops just when the fight between the two major characters finishes and Bhairav decides to elope. In the film, a truck arrives just in time to prevent Bhairav from falling, only to leave him alongside his car.

The most hilarious scene in the film was a romantic song for the villain right after the first murder and also when a female dies as a result of a strong grip and a fracture in his spinal cord. It was disheartening to find that some woman’s death certificates may list spine fracture as a cause of death.

Concerning the film’s soundtrack. There was a lot of music in the picture because Tara was a musician. To be honest, the filmmakers attempted to duplicate Galliyan and failed miserably. In addition, the film’s other songs were as ineffective as the Galliyan remake.

There is nothing particular to say about the performances of the different characters. It appears like Disha overacted, whereas John did not act at all. Tara is gorgeous and attractive, but she doesn’t justify the feeling with the correct representation. Arjun tried, but he also ended in failure. It appears that the film’s bad screenplay and wrong selection had a toll on the cast as well.

Technically, this film doesn’t have any exceptional VFX, but any film is poor if it lacks a compelling story to back it up. Ek villain returns fail at the first hurdle of having a good tale to comment about technicalities.

There is 0% possibility that you will enjoy the film’s screenplay. The narrative of the film does not deserve the money spent on it. This film is a complete waste of time.
