A social worker turns don: plausible emotions, briskly paced narrative and slick photography. Upendra plays Sidaapaaji, or Masti, a character inspired by a real-life ’60s Bangalore mafia don. In spite of his turn towards violent crime, Masthi has a softer side, and loves a girl (Jennifer) whom he rescues from a forced marriage. Will she be able to steer him away from the world of vice?
