The director makes Ek Villain an engrossing experience, no two opinions on that. Although a number of movies have focused on serial killers, the talented storyteller makes sure they pack several remarkable twists that transcend the genre, making it a novel experience for the spectator. The undercurrent of tension and the violent crimes are intertwined skilfully with the affectionate moments between the lovers and the emotional turmoil that the protagonist goes through. The writing, in short, keeps you captivated right through the finale, which, again, is not of the run of the mill variety. As a matter of fact, the clash between the good and the evil towards the concluding stages is the icing on the cake. One has come to expect a winning soundtrack from Mohit in film after film and the music of Ek Villain lives up to the gargantuan expectations!
Riteish Deshmukh is the hero in Ek Villain.
Moderately fulfilling, the film's real villain is a lousy script.
Ek Villain is a decent watch.
This film, besides its surface flair, does not have too much to fall back upon.
Ek Villain is too silly to thrill.
Sidharth Malhotra is watchable but has hard time doing menace
The only resurrecting grace is Aisha and Guru’s (Sidharth) love story that weaves in enough mush and romance to keep you going, with ever so listenable music.
Tad overdone melodrama.
