Will Ravi emerge stronger in his life after all the disappointments he had?
Director Rajkumar Aditthyaa's attempt to make Mast Kalandar a breezy romantic love story lacks proper content and the fact that it remains a conventional love story ensures that it has no impact. Some forced sequences prolong the predictable story which tests one's patience. The father-son relationship is one of the positives from the movie. Aarohi Naryan makes an impressive comeback to the silver screen in her second outing after Drishya. K S Sridhar does his best as a father. Nitin looks promising and does well with punch dialogues. A couple of melody tracks are the only respite in the movie.Watch it only if you are fan of 90s romantic tales.
