Three frustrated husbands seek freedom from their dull marriages. A wild idea promises escape and excitement. But what follows is anything but expected.

Mastiii 4, the latest installment in the popular adult-comedy franchise, has failed to recreate the magic of its earlier films at the box office. Released alongside stronger performers like De De Pyaar De 2, the film has seen limited footfall, resulting in underwhelming collections since opening weekend.

Despite the brand recall of the Masti series, the fourth chapter hasn’t connected well with audiences. Viewers and critics have pointed to a predictable storyline, outdated humour, and lack of fresh comedic punches—factors that have slowed down word-of-mouth and repeat viewing.

The movie brings back familiar faces and attempts to rekindle the franchise’s chaotic, laugh-out-loud energy. However, with evolving audience preferences and tougher competition in theatres, the film has struggled to sustain momentum in multiplexes and mass circuits alike.

Trade analysts believe Mastiii 4 may see further decline unless it gains unexpected traction over the week. For now, the film’s performance signals that nostalgia alone may not guarantee success—especially in a crowded, quality-driven theatrical landscape.
