==Plot==
Three friends – Meet ([[Vivek Oberoi]]), Prem ([[Aftab Shivdasani]]), and Amar ([[Ritesh Deshmukh]]) – are unhappily married and have unsatisfactory sex lives. Meet thinks that his wife Unatti ([[Karishma Tanna]]) is having an affair with her boss; Prem feels that his wife Tulsi ([[Manjari Fadnis]]) doesn't spend quality time with him, and Amar believes that his wife Mamta ([[Sonalee Kulkarni|Sonalee]]) is more concerned about their son, Pappu.

One day, the men receive an invite from their college, SLUTS (Sri Lalchand University of Technology and Science), to attend their reunion. Their wives don't come with them, so the three decide to use the trip to get up to mischief and escape their unhappy marriages. When they arrive, they find that everyone else is behaving in a conservative manner due to the fear of Principal Robert Pereira ([[Pradeep Rawat (actor)|Pradeep Rawat]]), who hangs people naked from a tree if they disobey his rules. Hardik ([[Suresh Menon]]), an ex-student, is in a mental asylum because of the principal's discipline.

Prem meets one of his former teachers, Rose ([[Maryam Zakaria]]), who is washing her cleavage with water, and is attracted to her. Meet meets Marlo ([[Kainaat Arora]]), who causes the car horn to blare because of her big breasts, and is attracted to her. Amar meets Mary ([[Bruna Abdullah]]), who seductively opens a bottle with an opener hidden in her inner garments and is attracted to her. The men try to initiate affairs with the women, but find out that Rose is Robert's wife, Mary is his daughter and Marlo is his sister.

The men's wives arrive at the college, for the reunion. The trio then receives an MMS message containing footage of them getting intimate with the women, and manages to hide the video from their wives. They find out that it was Hardik who sent the video, and he starts blackmailing them. He wants them to kill Robert to fulfill his revenge, or else he will show the footage to their wives. The trio is unable to kill Robert and decides to delete the videos from Hardik's phone and succeed.

On the last day of the reunion Robert mixes a love potion into the soup. The trio ends up with Rose, Mary and Marlo, and Robert catches them red handed. While being chased by Robert, Rose reveals that Robert is impotent. When the trio ends up on the roof of a building, Hardik pushes Robert, who slides down the roof and hangs on to a bar. The men try to save him, but Hardik pushes them too and they hang onto Robert. The girls come and push Hardik off the roof and he hangs on to Meet. The three tell Robert the truth about not making love with Marlo, Mary and Rose. The girls strip to their underwear to make a rope out of their clothes but fail. They decide to strip naked to extend the rope with their bras and panties, but the boys fall and end up in hospital.

Their wives angrily ask them what exactly happened that night. Robert calmly replies that due to a misunderstanding, their husbands suffered this consequence. Shortly later, a doctor comes and informs Robert that he is no longer impotent since blood now flows all over his body due to the pressure generated while hanging on the bar. Hardik marries Marlo. The film ends with Amar, Meet and Prem having sex with their respective wives. Robert and Hardik too have sex with Rose and Marlo. Mary is the one left alone who while bathing naked in a bathtub asks the audience to meet her.

==Production==
The production of the film was to begin in the first week of August 2012, but due to actor [[Riteish Deshmukh]]'s father [[Vilasrao Deshmukh]]'s critical health condition, the film's commencement was put off by a few days.<ref>{{cite web | last = Jha | first = Subhash K | title = Grand Masti at Bollywood Hungama | website = [[Bollywood Hungama]] | date = 9 August 2012 | url = https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/parties-and-events/cast-and-crew-at-dvd-launch-of-tamas/ | access-date = 9 August 2012}}</ref> Says a source close to the project, "''Grand Masti'', the sequel to ''[[Masti (2004 film)|Masti]]'' has been in the writing process for the last one and a half years. Finally, writers [[Milap Zaveri]] and Tushar Hiranandani cracked an idea and scripted the sequel. The film brings back the [[Riteish Deshmukh]]-[[Aftab Shivdasani]]-[[Vivek Oberoi]] trio, along with four new girls. ''Grand Masti'' was supposed to kick start this week. Then, Ritesh's father fell ill. He can't be expected to act funny at a time like this."

A suggestion that the film take off without Riteish was also put forward. However, producer Ashok Thakeria and director [[Indra Kumar]] refused, arguing that a comedy is a happy occasion and therefore all the actors needed to be comfortable. Reportedly, the film then started filming on 9 September 2012. The film's original release date was put between 31 July-late August 2013.<ref>{{cite web | last = Jha | first = Subhash K | title = Grand Masti on hold for Riteish | website = [[Bollywood Hungama]] | date = 9 August 2012 | url = http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/1535281/Grand-Masti-on-hold-for-Riteish | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120811212054/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/1535281/Grand-Masti-on-hold-for-Riteish | url-status = dead | archive-date = 11 August 2012 | access-date = 9 August 2012}}</ref>

==Critical response==
The film received mostly negative responses from critics due to its adult content but a polarised welcome from the general public, while youngsters constituted most of the film's viewership, it was criticised from the family audience's point of view.

[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' gave the film 3.5/5 and stated that ''Grand Masti'' "crosses all limits and boundaries vis-a-vis adult humor. This one's strictly for those who relish naughty jokes, outrageous lines and scandalous visuals."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/549877 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130713063012/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/549877 |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 July 2013 |title=Grand Masti (2013) | Hindi Movie Critic Review |first=Taran|last= Adarsh |website=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |date=28 June 2012 |access-date=15 September 2013}}</ref> [[Anupama Chopra]] of the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' gave the film a 0.5/5 stars.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Reviews/Anupama-Chopra-s-review-Grand-Masti-is-offensive-avoidable/Article1-1121933.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130915003923/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Reviews/Anupama-Chopra-s-review-Grand-Masti-is-offensive-avoidable/Article1-1121933.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 September 2013 |title=Anupama Chopra's review: Grand Masti is offensive, avoidable |work=Hindustan Times |date=14 September 2013 |access-date=23 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Critics-review-Respect-women-Don-t-watch-Grand-Masti/Article1-1121613.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130914005725/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Critics-review-Respect-women-Don-t-watch-Grand-Masti/Article1-1121613.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 September 2013 |title=Critics' review: Respect women?
