As per reviews, Ek Villain Returns has got a gripping plot which makes the storyline a complete winner. After the success of ‘Ek Villain’, Mohit Suri has come back with a sequel that is messy, is a masala entertainer and has some impressive stunts as well. But it also has a poor VFX which has disappointed the audience. One of the highlights of the film is its music.
