Housefull 2

Sajid Khan's new venture Housefull 2,a sequel to 2010's Housefull may not be a laugh-riot but seriously,is better than its prequel.

Housefull 2 had the potential to be a laugh-riot movie but fails!It just entertains!

Story:-

Housefull 2 tells the story of four fathers Daboo,Chintu,JD and Batook (Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Boman Irani) respectively,their four daughters Heena,Bobby,Parul and JLo (Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shazahn Padamsee, Zarine Khan)respectively and four prospective sons-in-law Sunny,Max,Jwala and Jai (Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade)respectively. Each father wants his daughter to marry the richest son-in-law. Each daughter thinks she is marrying the richest son-in-law. Each son-in-law is pretending to be the richest son-in-law. However, none of these people can stand each other and all of them are under one roof, in one house.As they enter the house, a catchy title 'Jolly' gets attached to their name and thanks to a confusion, the four fathers begin to think all four sons-in-law are named Jolly. The confusion only gets bigger… The film's first-half offers too many jokes,but most of them fall flat.The python and crocodile scene might tickle your funny bone at the start but gets tedious later on.Ditto for the scene when Akshay Kumar is introduced.

The film's second hour is the real gem.It offers so many laughs but still fails to impact the Laugh Out Loud factor.Be it the scene when each father-in law takes their son-in-law to JD's house or even the climax.

The direction is average.

The screenplay is half-baked.

The dialogs are okay.

The editors could have trimmed the movie making it short and sweet rather than long and tedious.

The music is fine.

The cinematography is good.The locales of London have been captured well.

Performances:- Out of the four males,Akshay Kumar is excellent.Followed by John Abraham who is fine.Ritesh Deshmukh is good.Shreyas Talpade's character may not have got enough length but still registers an impact.

The four females,Asin,Jacqueline,Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee do not get much meaty role but do make a good job.

Out of the four fathers,Rishi Kapoor,Mithun Chakraborty and Randhir Kapoor stand out.Rishi and Randhir are cute,while Mithun Chakraborty is excellent.Boman Irani is funny but gets less screen space.

Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey as Aakhiri Pasta are truly tremendous.They rock the show!Ranjeet shines in a cameo.Malaika Arora sizzles.Vindu Dara Singh is wasted.

All in all,Housefull 2 may not be a laugh riot-but does entertain.I am giving it a generous six on ten.Watch if you must otherwise wait for the television premier!

"Housefull 2" sets a new trend in Hindi movies as loud and entertaining comedies with highly unbelievable and exaggerated situations which continued through "Khiladhi 786." The film tickles you most of the time with its non stop sequences of funny and stupid situations created throughout on mistaken identities and confusions created by its protagonists which gets twisted and grips to the very end supported by occasional drama and action. Though the overdose of comedies and improbabilities the comedy presents, the film still remains entertaining due to the fast pace and pleasantness created through its songs and dance. The old actors like Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Mithun look a bit weary in this film. However, I felt Akshay Kumar, John Abhram, and Asin were quite good in the film.

Ratings: 2 stars out of 4

I hated house full n the only reason for watching this movie was free tickets and a weekend on which i had nothing interesting to do.. where should i start..?? the movie has no plot..it looks like the sajid khan's idea of a plot is to just fill the screen with many people and ask them to shout at their top of the voice.. as the movie says the so called "Dirty Dozens" aren't impressive at all.. rishi kapoor after a riveting performance in Agneepath disappoints by doing such a silly role..and the worse acting belonged to john abraham.. his cheesy one liners were pathetic..someone has to say to him he isn't good at comedy..while akshay was good in parts and the other two were passable..coming to the actresses, they had less to do with acting but more with skin show.. they were only two positives of this film chunky pandey and the veteran johnny lever.. a lame movie that doesn't deserves to be watched on big screen..

I've always seen Sajid Khan shout out in interviews that he does not make movies for critics. I respect that. I feel every fimmaker should make a film that pleases them and the audience and not for reviews. However, that does not mean they should take their audience for granted. Sajid does just that in this flick. I wasn't a huge fan of Housefull but still I found it enjoyable. I walked in the theaters expecting just a normal entertainer and what I get from this film is a lot of unanswered question.

Why exactly do the Kapoors even hate eachtother? How is that Akki-John, Asin-Jaquelin become friends again that quick? How do people not know Mithun's past despite him being one of the riches people of the UK? And that too in this high technology wikipedia-google age? Why does John continue trying to con Randhir Kapoor if he wasn't the one they were suppose to con?

The story is intended to confuse the viewer. That is okay but it's very flawed.

Mithun all the sudden turning into a goon again is ridiculous! I mean, are we idiots?

I feel Sajid needs to go past these done to death identity confusion movies. David Dhawan and Priyadarshan have mastered this. I do feel Sajid is better than this. He showed that in his first film Heyy Babby.

Writing is weak. Music is alright. Papa toh band bajaye is good.

His direction is good but needs work on script. Dialogue is first rate, however. A lot of questions come and go unanswered. That is the writing at fault. Sajid needs to do films with a plot instead of this crap. Heyy Babby still remains his best film.

Akshay Kumar is good. Still, his comedy is just not the same anymore. John is good. Ritesh is alrite. Shreyas is okay.

Randhir, Rishi and Mithun are great actors and do their job but needed better roles.

Asin is wasted. Rest are okay.

Overall - A disappointment that is a decent pass time but still is the worst of Sajid's films.
