    Housefull 2 = Entertainment...!!!!

    Housefull 2 is a solid entertainment....

    Akshay Kumar steals the show, he's back with a bang with his first movie of the year.... He's stunning, fabulous and his signature expression was outstanding, loved to see him in his original avtaar, of being 'kaminaaa'...!!!!

    John is improving movie by movie...

    Ritesh & Shreyas have done a good job...

    Asin & Jacqueline were good, rest of the two don't have much to do...

    The four fathers were brilliant...

    Johnny Lever & Chunky Pandey were average...

    Ranjeet's cameo was wow...

    All the songs were good...

    Akshay Kumar's entry was awesome..

    This one is better than Housefull...

    The scene with Python and Crocodile was stretched...

    I would've rated it 6/10 but it's Akshay Kumar who changed my mood... He was mindblasting...

    I'll rate it 6/10...

    Housefull 2:The Dirty Dozen do not provide laughs but does entertains!

    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!

    Loud and Entertaining Comedy.....

    "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

    Worst Movie of a Lifetime

    Rotten tomatoes would had been a better option than Housefull 2.

    If Housefull was crap then Housefull 2 is a crap train.

    Its full of isolated non sense stuff that transcends the requirement of a filmmaking.

    Nowadays producers know a secret formula....Skinshow and India's ever increasing population. They know that India is such as place where there would never be any investment for hockey fields bu rather a whole lot of money will be thrown away to set up multiplexes to welcome movies like Houseful 2 & Players.

    Even though its way short of everything except non sense India is that country who would even stampede in order to run to theaters and get an early seat to watch these movies.

    I would go for N/10 - Non Sense
