Just like his previous endeavors Awarapan (A Bitter Sweet life) & Murder 2 (The Chaser), director Mohit Suri borrows the basic elements of the gruesomely awesome Korean thriller I Saw The Devil gives it his own twist/turns & plot addition/subtraction suitable for his audience.Told with an even pitch, the film isn’t anything like the run-in-the-mill stories we are subjected to watch every week. Siddharth Malhotra just fresh into his third film gives a superb performance, its a delight watching him brood. Shraddha Kapoor kinda carries her Aashiqui 2 character forward with more excitement, playing her part well. Ek Villain is Retiesh Deshmukh’s show!! The dude is just creepy & character development actually makes you sympathize with him. Retiesh has ruled the comedy roost for a while, this awesome turn is sure to win him some accolades. The supporting cast; Amna Sharif, Shaad Randwala & KRK (Oh God!) do a fine job. Soulful music forms a integrable part of Mohit Suri films, this film does not defer. All said & done the one most important factors which fails is the direction, he is among the few directors who provides commercialized dark themes films, & unlike his previous film the film does not maintain the intensity & the pace which it means to provide. Nevertheless the film’s riveting rhythm, soothing music, breathtaking performances from Sidharth and Riteish turns Ek Villain into magnificent, creepy and emotional watch.
