Grand Masti is an all-out comedy, released in 2013, that goes all-in on risqué humor and ridiculous situations, enhanced through the performances of Indian stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani. Directed by Indra Kumar, this explicit comedy-sequel to the 2004 film 'Masti,' stands tall with its raucous humor and bawdy punchlines.

The plot follows the lives of three friends, Amar, Meet, and Prem, played by Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, respectively. All three are settled in married life but are unhappy with their mundane routines and seek some excitement. This movie takes audiences on a roller coaster ride of hilarity as these three married men set out on a quest to relive their college days, filled with uninhibited laughter and mischief.

Despite their suburban lives seeming perfect at first glance, the trio starts to feel suffocated from their daily routines and yearn for a sense of freedom. As the movie unfolds, audiences are introduced to the wives of Amar, Meet, and Prem, who have their unique quirks. Forced to deal with the trials and tribulations of their monotonous married lives, the three friends jump at the opportunity to relive their glory days when they receive an invitation to a college reunion.

This reunion seems like a godsend to them, given the promises of a break from their wives and the cherished freedom they desire. However, things start to take an amusing and chaotic turn when they reach the university. They meet their former crushes who are now out to get them in the most hilarious situations. The journey filled with comedic chaos and laughter-filled moments, forms the crux of the story. Grand Masti is a wild ride where these friends discover that the nostalgia of their carefree university days might not be exactly as they remembered and the present might hold more joy than they realized.

Complementing the lead trio, the supporting characters have been wisely chosen, uniformly over-the-top, adding to the film's wildly goofy aesthetic. They add another layer to the laughter quotient and significantly contribute to the film plot's progression. The actors are in their comfort zones, and it shows in the film. Their comic timing, delivery of punchlines, and orchestration of physical comedy are commendable and truly enjoyable to watch.

The film is replete with humor that is unapologetically bold and crude at times. The director, Indra Kumar, adeptly executes the film to fit within the genre of adult comedy, ensuring the jokes do not cross the line into being offensive. The film's dialogues have a sense of comedy infused with modern colloquialisms and double entendres, which stay true to the spirit of the movie.

Grand Masti's music, composed by Anand Raj Anand and Sanjeev-Darshan, is energetic and vibrant, with the peppy tunes complementing the humorous tone of the film. Cinematographer Rituraj Narain does a commendable job at capturing the vibrant energy of these friends' reunion and the comedic chaos that unfolds.

Even though Grand Masti is laden with humor, it does not shy away from addressing some marital issues, albeit in a light-hearted way. It brushes upon the themes of love, lust, friendship, and marriage. The movie’s core message lies in finding joy and understanding within one’s relationships.

Overall, Grand Masti is a bawdy joyride, filled with laughs, catchy music, and entertaining performances. It's a film that encourages you to suspend your disbelief, to immerse yourself in the nuances of adult comedy, and to laugh along with the misadventures of Amar, Meet, and Prem.
