“Mastiii 4,” directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, revives the beloved adult comedy franchise with its characteristic loud humor and mischievous spirit, offering a wild, unapologetic ride for fans of the series and broad comedic fare. The film brings back Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani as three middle-aged husbands trapped in mundane marriages who jump at the chance to exploit a “love visa” scheme granting them a sanctioned week of extramarital freedom. The chaos that ensues, with the wives turning the tables, creates plenty of opportunities for slapstick and raucous comedy.​

Zaveri, known for his penchant for mainstream Hindi entertainers, fully embraces the franchise’s unapologetically massy tone. His direction keeps the pace brisk and the comedy unrelenting, flooded with vibrant sets, an over-the-top background score, and larger-than-life reactions. This ensures that the energy never dips, appealing primarily to an audience looking for bold, bawdy humor rather than subtlety or sophistication.​

The screenplay leans heavily into rapid-fire puns, irreverent humor, and cheeky references to earlier films in the series, which franchise loyalists will appreciate. Though some jokes border on cringe-worthy, many land as guilty pleasures, especially in the film’s racy and inventive first half. The script focuses on outrageous scenarios and wild misunderstandings rather than nuanced storytelling, but it delivers exactly what its target audience expects.​

Performances remain a highlight, with Riteish Deshmukh effortlessly driving most of the comic moments through his timing and charm. Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani complement him well, leaning into their loud personas to maintain high energy. Supporting roles by Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Elnaaz Norouzi, and Ruhi Singh add some sparkle despite limited character development.​

While “Mastiii 4” will not win over critics or viewers seeking refined humor, it succeeds as a colorful, high-energy entertainer for fans of the franchise. It unapologetically delivers the adult comedy chaos and playful mischief that made the series a cult favorite, making it a worthwhile watch for those who enjoy their comedy loud, unfiltered, and unabashedly fun
