Mastiii 4 Teaser Review : Riteish, Aftab, Vivek’s Reunion Falls Flat With Vulgar, Outdated Comedy

It has been well over decades since Masti introduced Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, and Vivek Oberoi as three mischievous boys coping with extramarital affairs in the name of comedy. Although the first one introduced freshness to adult-comedy in Bollywood, the sequels later have depended significantly on age-old gags and stale conventions. Now, in 2025, the Mastiii 4 teaser comes around, but rather than building anticipation, it appears to be a desperate attempt that can't quite match its own hype.

Storyline 

The trailer promises more of the same: three aging men with wandering eyes, sex-crazed escapades, and a series of pratfall misadventures on the verge of the ridiculous. The funny comedy, which was kind of interesting in the begining, now is painfully repetitive. Rather than adapting to the times, the film stays in the early 2000s, and completly ignored the changing audience tastes and a demand for the wiser comedy. The cast returns with the same formula—men pursuing women, double entendres, and big reactions—and it's just more cringeworthy this time.

Positive Points 

To give credit where it's due, the teaser does send out a nostalgia feeling for the supporters of the first Masti. After Seeing Riteish, Aftab, and Vivek together will hit back the old memories in some individuals. The rapport between the actors still remains intact, and their comfort level with one another translates well on the screen. For viewers seeking a flashback of slapstick chaos, Mastiii 4 may provide fleeting laughs.

Negative Points 

Yet the negatives overshadow the positives. Seeing actors near their fifties engaging in childish tricks is embarrassing instead of funny. The jokes, which are so dependent on innuendos, ring as stale and uninspired. Instead of breaking new ground, the teaser rehashes humor already so stretched thin in the previous segments of the franchise. Worse still, women are still depicted in a narrow manner, making them mere objects of desire rather than developed characters. The lack of new writing or contemporary comedic sensibilities renders the teaser to be from a different era, awkwardly inserted into the modern world.

Overall: Mastiii 4 teaser attempts to bring back nostalgia but ends up pointing out how much life has gone out of the franchise. What should have been a playful reunion reads like an overused joke that should have ended years ago. Unless the movie surprises with wiser writing, this installment seems destined to be a letdown.
