Director
Mohit
Suri,
known
for
helming
blockbusters
like
Kalyug,
Awarapan
and
Aashiqui
2
is
back
with
romantic
thriller
Ek
Villain,
starring
Sidharth
Malhotra,
Shraddha
Kapoor
and
Riteish
Deshmukh.
Going
by
the
response
that
the
film
Ek
Villain
is
receiving,
Mohit
seems
to
have
created
waves
with
his
latest
film.
"Friday
trends
so
far:
East-Wesy-North-South:
#EkVillain
has
a
THUNDEROUS
start
everywhere," trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted.
The
India
Today
review
states,
"There
is
no
doubt
that
film-maker
Mohit
Suri
knows
the
craft,
he
is
in
fact
one
of
the
best
film-makers
out
of
the
younger
lot,
which
he
has
also
proved
in
the
past."
Mohar
Basu
writes
on
KoiMoi,
"While
the
visible
heroes
might
be
Riteish
or
Sidharth,
the
driving
wheel
of
this
film
(Ek
Villain)
is
the
captain
of
the
ship,
Mohit
Suri.
I
have
no
qualms
in
stating
that
this
is
his
best
work
till
date.
At
so
many
places,
Mohit
shows
how
well
he
understands
his
characters."
Karan
Johar
tweets,
"Rarely
does
a
film
scare
you
and
move
you
to
tears...intensity
and
brutality
blended
by
the
brilliance
of
Mohit
Suri."
Following
the
bumper
opening
on
Friday
morning,
the
afternoon
shows
have
also
held
quite
well
and
the
night
shows
are
expected
to
be
just
as
strong.
All
in
all,
Ek
Villain
seems
poised
for
some
more
thunderous
days
to
come.
