Director Mr. Indra Kumar work is fine. He made the silent scenes more hilarious than the scenes with punch lines. He has justified this adult comedy genre in good way. A scene, when Aftab comes out from bull is hilarious, even it is a silent one. Big drawback of this movie is it's scrap story. Screenplay is also simple. Dialogues by Milap Zaveri, are the highlight of film. It is very clear that first they had selected the A rated jokes from all other sources then thought how to stuff them. So, outcome is no story and linear screenplay. Most of the jokes are already heard. After all, they will make you smile at least. I appreciate the makers honesty that they had already given clear cut indication about the content of film in trailer and promos. Performance wise Ritesh Deshmukh is brilliant. He does his scenes with lots of ease and makes the even dull scenes interesting. His dialogues delivery is also very good. Vivek Obrai and Aftab Shivdasani are OK. I am unable to distinguish between all female actors but they are so so. Music wise title track composed by Sanjeev Darshan is good and another "Mamla set kar le.." composed by Anand Raj Anand is good.
Masti had some substance in it when it released almost a decade ago, but its sequel gasps for a fresh story and only delivers adult humor with no furnishing at all.
The characters seem like they jumped out of American Reunion (2012). The whole plot is somewhat derived from it. The characters follow their usual air and continue to do for what they had previously learned a lesson (in Masti c. 2004). Women in here, not to mention, are treated as objects and don't induce humor. But, the massively vulgar jokes on them, do. Popular SMS jokes, obscene one-liners & merchandise which give out a witty remark is what Grand Masti is all about. In order to put the film in line with the title, the makers have used the word "grand" a couple of times and the use of fireworks, waves & screw-driven into its cavity mostly depict the same.
Cast performance is fine, and all three lead actors portray slightly exaggerated beings of their older selves. Actresses are pure flesh show, be it wives or paramours.
Certain sequences are borrowed from Austin Powers, Agneepath, No Entry & they give it a worn-out look and totally drive the audience off the screen. An average 3.3 out of 10 for the effervescent sequel. I also do suspect if it crossed the line.
BOTTOM LINE: Much like expected, Grand Masti delivers vulgarity, but at the price of poor plot & clichéd conclusion. Perfect for a mild laugh with like-minded friends to bust stress.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

I would have given -10 out of 10, but unfortunately IMDb doesn't allow that. I had the expectations of it being a hugely awesome party themed funny movie, like most Hollywood movies of that genre are, seeing as the cast was strong – all the original dudes from Masti the original movie. But no, it terribly failed my expectations.
Here's the thing, the movie is a collection of vulgar double meaning jokes with sexual innuendos in very,very bad taste. You know it – all those messages that you probably might have gotten from your friend on WhatsApp, those cheap sexual jokes that keep getting forwarded around. Not that most of those messages aren't funny, but the way they're portrayed into scenes here – seems like as if a bunch of perverted noobs shot them.
Sex appeal – the makers of this film probably made this movie keeping in mind the wallets of the crowd which consists of men who drop money at the name of sex. So they made a film like this, and I'm going to say it – this movie, tried to be a porn movie with only the foreplay, but no porn. The jokes sucked, the acting sucked, the script (if it in fact existed) sucked.
Actually, what I feel about the script is, that some half-retarded sex depraved man wrote it. Absolutely no sensible intelligent plot, totally bad script and super clichéd dialogues, nothing original at all. Masti? NO masti at all. Masti the original movie was way way hilarious and actually had a good plot. Laughs? You'll be crying by the end as to why you even took the risk of seeing something like this. Hell, the only ONE thing that made me laugh was the fountain part in the starting. Except that, the whole movie is absolute rubbish.
Now, the reason this movie is bad is because this movie was supposed to be a money maker, not a crowd puller, one which appeals to people's senses, like Bhag Milkha Bhag or Barfi. Oh my my.. This crap movie is parsecs away from them in terms of enjoyment,satisfaction, and get-your-money's- worth value.
In conclusion, if you're an avid movie watcher, love movies, and love intelligent movies, or love movies with party and sex themes, you'll find this movie HUGELY disappointing. Just, please don't watch it. You'll waste 2 hours of life, and it was total torture to sit throughout the 2 hours. The only reason I sat the whole 2 hours were because my friends somehow liked this cheap lazy senseless boring outright dimwitted movie.
So, my advice – forget that this movie was ever made. Just don't waste your time on it, if you're thinking of renting it on DVD or catch it on cable when it comes out in the next few months. Just, DON'T.
Grand masti is an adult comedy which involves life of three married guys who want to have masti without letting know their wives..It is a reality take on how young guys do fun during their college time.
We all have gone through that period of what we used to do during college days and young guys sometimes have fun cracking non veg or vulgar jokes.That is what grand masti offers on the siver screen..It has all the ingredients of an adult comedy..
And please while watching it do neglect some cheap jokes which show women in poor light..Hardly there will be two or three..Rest all is fine
All in all Grand masti is a good movie for weekend fun.
