Ek Villain is a romantic thriller that keeps you glued to your seats for most of the duration. The story is about a young boy, (played by Siddharth Malhotra) who has been hardened into a criminal by the blows that life and society have inflicted upon. Also in this movie is a psychopath (Riteish), who has turned into a serial murderer.His murder weapon - a screwdriver.
Excellent acting by both Siddharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh. Siddharth does a great job as the revengeful young man whereas Riteish as usual is at his best in uncanny roles. Shraddha, playing the cheerful girl and Siddharth's girlfriend does a fair job.
The movie begins with two three different sequences all of which connect and start making sense later on in the middle of the movie. First - Shraddha driving a jeep missing a pothole and scolding the person responsible for it. This would seem to be non-consequential, but has immense consequences for all the chain of events in the movie. Second - a hooded man attacks Shraddha with a screwdriver. However, when she pleads mercy stating that she is pregnant and the survival of child is important, the man throws her out of the balcony. Third - Siddharth finishing an interview, hiding his tattoos, coming out to attend a phone call from Shraddha. The relevance of all three sequences is revealed later on in the movie.
The music is soothing with popular familiar tracks like Galliyan and Banjaraa.
Where the audience starts losing interest is when Siddharth gets to know the identity of Shraddha's murderer at the turn of the interval and the suspense over the identity of the murderer is lost. What follows is predictable to some extent and slightly boring.
