Ek Villain Movie Review

Ek Villain movie review: Mohit Suri's romantic thriller belongs to Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh by
Ek Villian is a revenge drama. But not like ones the Hindi audiences have been exposed to.

Aisha is brutally murdered by Rakesh (Riteish Deshmukh) and he has no clue to the identity of the killer. When he finds out he sets to make his life hell. At some point the tables are turned.

It begins easy-breezy with the love story but it doesn't skip a beat once Guru begins the hunt for the killer and starts bashing skulls in

Riteish Deshmukh plays one of the toughest parts of his career. He delivers a chilling performance without crutches like a lisp, a limp, physical deformity or trick make-up. His transformation from the coy to the cold-blooded is a applaud worthy. You may have walked in thinking that chocolate-faced Sidharth Malhotra doesn't look the part of a thug or a killer but he disproves that in his very first scene. Mohit manages to bring alive his torment and weariness onscreen.

Shraddha is great in the emotional scenes, but her happy-chirpy character in the beginning of the film is annoying. The in-your-face blatant brand placements in the film are very, very jarring

All in allIf you're looking for an edgy thriller with some romance and great songs, Ek Villian is for you

we give it 3 out of 5 stars!
