After nearly a decade away from the big screen, Bollywood's most notorious comedy trio is back to wreak havoc once again. Mastiii 4 is set to release on November 21, 2025, bringing Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani together for the fourth installment of the beloved Masti franchise.
The Return of Amar, Meet, and Prem
The film follows three dissatisfied husbands who intend to leave their boring marriages in quest of adventure and independence only to become embroiled in heartbreaking revelations and hilarious mayhem. The premise introduces a cheeky concept called "Love Visa," which the trailer suggests offers these married men a week off from their marriages to fulfill their fantasies.
Director Milap Milan Zaveri, who wrote the original Masti films, returns to both write and direct this fourth chapter, promising to bring the franchise full circle. According to Zaveri, this represents a personal journey from the writer's room of the first films to the director's chair for this latest installment.
A Star-Studded Ensemble
While the core trio returns to reprise their iconic roles, the film features an extensive supporting cast, including Elnaaz Norouzi, Genelia Deshmukh, Natalia Janoszek, Jeetendra, Tusshar Kapoor, Caroline Koziol, Ruhi Singh, Atul Sharma, and Nishant Malkani. The addition of fresh faces alongside franchise veterans promises to inject new energy into the series while maintaining the chemistry that made the original films successful.
Genelia Deshmukh's involvement is particularly notable, marking a reunion with her real-life husband Riteish Deshmukh on screen. Meanwhile, special appearances from Arshad Warsi and Nargis Fakhri add extra star power to the proceedings.
Grander Scale, Bigger Production
Shot extensively across stunning locations in the UK, the film boasts breathtaking backdrops, grand production design, and a visual richness that amplifies its comedy and glamour quotient. This represents a significant step up for the franchise, with Waveband Production backing the film alongside Zee Studios, in association with Maruti International and Balaji Telefilms.
Producer Shikha Karan Ahluwalia emphasized the vision behind this approach, stating that the goal was to rekindle the franchise's spark with a modern, larger-scale vision that's both nostalgic and refreshingly entertaining.
What the Stars Are Saying
The cast's enthusiasm for the project is palpable. Riteish Deshmukh described returning to the franchise as uniquely thrilling, noting that he hasn't laughed as much on set in ages. Vivek Oberoi emphasized the "pure magic" of the trio's chemistry, promising comedy chaos for audiences. Aftab Shivdasani reflected on how Masti has become more than just a film for him, representing a bond of friendship and laughter that audiences have cherished for years.
Mixed Reception to the Trailer
The trailer received negative reviews from most people, according to IMDb trivia. Despite the lukewarm response to the promotional material, the franchise has historically maintained a loyal fanbase that appreciates its brand of humor and the undeniable chemistry between the three leads.
A Franchise Legacy
The Masti series began in 2004 with the original film, followed by Grand Masti in 2013 and Great Grand Masti in 2016. Each installment has pushed the envelope further in terms of adult comedy, with Grand Masti becoming one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of its year despite its adult certification.
With a runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes, Mastiii 4 promises to deliver non-stop entertainment, peppy music composed by Sanjeev Darshan and Meet Bros, and the signature mischief that defined the series.
The Verdict
Whether Mastiii 4 can recapture the magic of the earlier films remains to be seen. The franchise has always divided critics and audiences, with some embracing its irreverent humor while others find it lowbrow. What's undeniable is the genuine camaraderie between Deshmukh, Oberoi, and Shivdasani, which continues to be the franchise's greatest asset.
As the film prepares to hit theaters this week, one thing is certain: for fans of the series, the return of Amar, Meet, and Prem is a long-awaited reunion that promises laughter, chaos, and the kind of escapist entertainment that only a Masti film can deliver.
Mastiii 4 releases in theaters on November 21, 2025.
