Who was the actual villain in the film 'Ek Villain'? Villain meaning - a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.If you have seen the film, you may say -Ritesh Deshmukh .... but your answer is wrong! The actual villain in the cinema is 'WIFE'! to be precise – Ritesh's wife in the film.Wife is the actual evil culprit ...in not just this film but I guess worldwide (the reason why probably males spend more time at the bar, consume alcohol and write insulting jokes on wives...and with the advent of Internet & social networks..even share the dirty wife jokes worldwide!!) In the film Ritesh's wife was a nagging woman who never left a slightest opportunity to show her husband down. She used to constantly belittle him and thought of him as some incompetent fool capable of doing nothing worthwhile! This constant insult and nagging turns Ritesh into a maniac, a criminal! Since he could not harm his own wife – fear of society, neighbours plus an indication is given that he loved her after all but never got any respect or even love from her in return – so he used to take out his frustration on any female he happened to interact with and who showed even a wee bit of attitude to him – like raising her voice, complaining attitude, screaming / shouting – like anyone that reminded him of his wife – he killed her!!So basically Ritesh turns into a villain not because he was originally a villain – he was rather shown to be pretty sensitive and peace loving in fact. For example there is a scene where couple of eunuchs surround them when they were going by an auto-rickshaw and asked them for money – Ritesh gives away almost all his money so as to avoid unnecessary ruckus in the middle of the road (shows peace loving nature). He then gets down and says that he does not have money to pay to the auto-driver (since the eunuchs had taken them all) so asked his wife to get down as well – along with their child (shows his honesty). To this his wife screams back and says that she has the money and she will go by auto – and he can go walking to the movie hall....she used to belittle him often because of his salary and the fact that they were always in dearth of money! So you see folks, being a wife as well as a mother, the female had hardly got any sense of love, warmth or feelings for her own husband! So in the film...the actual villain stays alive...only the man who was driven to the extent that he turned into a criminal died! Injustice. Ideally we should 'Nip the devil in the bud' – hate the crime, not the criminal...the reason Ritesh committed crimes was because of his wife...wife was the main criminal – the Ek Villain!

This movie was recommended to me by a friend who was trying to 'convert' me and get me to like Bollywood movies. Now I am not saying I dislike all Bollywood movies but I do need certain things when watching a movie: Good acting, a strong ORIGINAL plot and a decent storyline. Ek Villain has none of these. The lead actress is so irritating from the second she shows up on the screen that you actually enjoy the scene when she is murdered and wouldn't mind watching it again & again. SHE CANNOT ACT! The lead actor seems promising....for the first 3 minutes. However you quickly realise how terrible he is when he cannot change his expression at all. In terms of acting, the only award should go to the serial killer's wife - she played the nagging wife role really well and the viewer was able to see how she has emasculated her husband. The storyline is so appalling, not just because it is a blatant rip- off of Korean thriller "I Saw the Devil" but because it is such a poor imitation. As viewers we are already expected to believe that the hero can beat up 100 men in one go and is somewhat immortal, but for me I really lost interest when we see the actress cured of cancer without a single session of chemo. Who is this amazing and miraculous doctor and why is she not out there curing cancer for everyone everywhere and sharing her miracle??? And I also didn't know that Indians have the ability to go deep-sea diving without oxygen tanks! Apparently there are some gill-like tendencies that are inherited by Indians that I really wish I had. Perhaps we are all living in the wrong place and need to move to India where they have cancer curing doctors and magical underwater, unlimited oxygen supplies?To sum up; terrible movie, atrocious acting, hilarious goofs but really nice songs. Go buy the CD and save yourself 3 hours!

The Villain is nothing but another rip off from the Korean classics. I assure you that Mohit Suri soon qualify to be another director from Bhatt camp who will be defamed for being a copycat. The casting is really bad. Dialogues are bad. The action sequences are utterly bad! I don't know how Sid Malhotra can play the role of a brutal gangster. The music is pretty soothing and it is the only saving grace of the film. Don't waste your time with this silly crap. It is rather best if you can spend your 2 hrs in an outing or watch some old classics. If you are keen the see mature work in Bollywood then it is better to watch the films of Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Pandey.They are definitely intelligent filmmakers.

My reaction to "Ek Villain" was mixed in nature. I enjoyed the songs, the chirpy and bubbly nature of Aisha, the sympathy of Guru towards the child of his wife's killer and of course the mind-blowing act of Ritesh Deshmukh as the serial-killer. I disliked the poor acting of Siddharth and other actors, wasted storyline and poor dialog delivery.The story starts with the murder of Aisha(Shraddha Kapoor) and the mystery that follows it. A CBI officer implies that Guru's boss has killed her and Guru leaves on a rage to beat the hell out of his boss Caesar. Lack of common sense is evident in this scene. Caesar sends his men to beat Guru and once Guru reaches him, he tells that he has not killed his wife. If this was the simplest thing to do why did he sent men and why did Guru start beating those men without making an inquiry with his boss who was like his father. The fight scene is unrealistic.In one scene when Guru is being tortured in the lock up, he starts to utter out of the world dialogs to the police, as if some Shakespeare play is going on.In the whole movie whenever You see Siddarth show anger or deliver dialogs, it is evident that the director hasn't made him act seriously in the movie.Now with all that negatives, lets come to the bright side of the movie. Clearly Shraddha Kapoor dominates Siddharth in terms of acting. She is bubbly and cheerful. And she has justified the role she was given. The real villain in the movie, Rakesh (Riteish Deshmukh) has evolved his acting a lot for the role. He looks terrorizing(thanks to decent background sounds) and one can feel the emotions that are going on within him.The scene in which Aisha helps an old man who was sent to mental asylum by his family, to get out and marry is emotional. Chemistry and scenes between Guru and Rakesh's son are worthwhile.Music is the back-bone of the movie. "Galliyaan", "Zaroorat", "Hamdard", "Awari" and "Banjaara", all the songs are pretty good for their genre and leave impression on viewer's mind.Thanks to the good aspects and the music of the film, Ek Villain is watchable.
