Review — Ek Villain Returns (2022)

Themes & tone

• Explores revenge, guilt, and redemption with a melodramatic sensibility. Tone swings between gritty thriller and heightened romance/drama, which may divide audiences.

Critical Reception (Brief):

The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who praised the performances (particularly Arjun Kapoor’s intense turn) and the music, but criticized the screenplay and pacing. However, it performed decently at the box office due to its franchise value and hit songs like “Galliyan Returns” and “Dil”.

Direction & screenplay

• Direction: Stylistically confident—moody lighting, tight framing, and slick production design. Occasional reliance on melodrama weakens the thriller backbone.
• Screenplay: Has memorable moments and dialogue, but uneven character development and predictable beats dilute tension.
