Bollywood’s comedy landscape gets a familiar jolt of nostalgia with Mastiii 4, the fourth installment of the much-loved Masti franchise, releasing on November 21, 2025. This time, director Milap Milan Zaveri takes over from Indra Kumar, promising a louder, zanier, and unapologetically “no-filter” comedy that aims to bring back the fun of the early 2000s.
The trailer sees the iconic trio—Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani—back together, this time caught in a fresh storm of extramarital (mis)adventures and slapstick confusion. It’s a reminder that the Masti series has always thrived on chaos, misunderstandings, and outrageous humour—and Mastiii 4 looks determined to carry that tradition forward.
The chemistry of the trio is, unsurprisingly, the highlight of the trailer. Their comic timing, perfected over two decades, still feels natural and infectious. For audiences who grew up with the franchise, this reunion alone carries a strong nostalgic pull. Adding to the energy is an impressive ensemble that suggests the film won’t be short of quirky subplots and crowd-pleasing moments.
While the adult-comedy genre has often faced criticism for being over-the-top or outdated, the trailer shows an attempt to modernize by toning down the vulgarity and balancing slapstick with situational humour. The decision to involve the women more actively in the mischief adds freshness, moving beyond the one-dimensional portrayals of earlier entries. Zaveri, known for his masala storytelling, seems intent on packaging Mastiii 4 as a larger-than-life entertainer rather than just another sequel.
Yes, some will find the humour old-school, but that’s also its charm. In an era dominated by slick OTT comedy and darker humour, Mastiii 4 unabashedly embraces the loud, colourful, slapstick tradition of Bollywood. For audiences looking for lighthearted fun and a throwback to simpler times at the movies, this trailer delivers exactly that promise.
Mastiii 4 banks on nostalgia, camaraderie, and unapologetic masala comedy. With its star-studded ensemble and the return of Aftab Shivdasani to mainstream Bollywood, the film could surprise at the box office—especially among audiences craving good old-fashioned laughter on the big screen
