SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Awesome Movie

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

One of the best love stories ever made in Bollywood. Mohit Suri brought out tremendous inner acting skills of Sidharth Malholtra. The music is heart-touching.

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!

I am truly astounded at the folk who are giving this movie a bad review. Seriously speechless. This movie is one of the best Bollywood movies I've seen, and it hasn't provoked such a reaction since I watched Awarapan.The non linear story was executed sublimely. The tragedy in the movie was executed to utter perfection; the songs kick in at the best possible time drawing tears (parallels with K3G can definitely be made). And the songs...Oh dear God, they are just another level.Just like Emraan Hashmi impressed me in Awarapan, I'm now Siddharth's newest fan. His portrayal was a good effort. By no means is he the finished article, but he did a damn great job of playing a kind of tortured soul. Love it.The only drawback was the villain. I think they needed a stronger presence.I enjoyed this movie so much I actually got up off my ass and wrote my first ever review.Songs. Drama. Action. Tear-jerking moments. Symbolism. Philosophy. This film is an example of when Bollywood gets it right. So what if its a remake of I saw the Devil? It's made alterations to suit the Bollywood genre.Mohit Suri smashed this one to pieces. Defoz a must watch. And with Bollywood producing nothing but rubbish, a most welcome surprise.Watch this peeps!!

I've recently watched this film and at first i thought at least it got a good plot. Then i got to know that it actually ripped off a Korean film called "I saw the devil". After seeing that film i could see why many people are bashing this film.One thing i don't understand is how could people actually stand that annoying bitch shraddha kapoor and her irritating acting.i don't care if you think iam a horrible person but i actually enjoyed the scene where she gets killed, i was cheering and rooting for her killer. She tried to act like an innocent and adorable girl but instead she comes of so annoying that at some point i myself wanted to kill her. Now let talk about the lead actor siddharth kapoor, the director must have asked him to carry a serious expression on his face and he did a good job at carrying that single depressed look through the film without showing any improvement . people are calling him the next big star of Indian cinema? for godsake there is nothing special about this guy. i never thought i would say this but Ritesh deshmukh actually acted pretty well in this film. he is the only saving grace in this "excuse for the filmmaking" I got nothing to say about the director. i'm not a very big fan of his other films too. i always thought that there is alake of realism in his films.the original korean film is bloody,gritty,well acted, short and straight to the point. this copy is every thing that's opposite to that. if you like the music just buy it on i tunes or buy a cd ..but good music is not an excuse to watch a movie this bad.
