Housefull 2 has opened to a spectacular response at the box-office, and the credit for the film’s success – almost entirely has gone to Akshay Kumar. Yes, he does have a huge fan-following at both multiplexes and single-screens, but most of his releases in 2011 didn’t exactly set the box-office on fire.
There are several factors that helped the film get a bumper opening. One, Housefull is a popular brand, much like the Golmaal series of films. Two, both Sajid Khan films Heyy Babyy and Housefull 1 were successful at the box-office. Three, there are atleast 4 other stars in Housefull 2 who have a following of their own.
- John Abraham – He may not be a superstar who can command a good initial with solo-films, but John has a HUGE fan-following with the youngsters, especially the fairer sex. Infact, John is mobbed almost anywhere he goes in India.
- Jacqueline Fernandes – Fresh from the super-success of Murder 2, Jacqueline too has a reasonably big following with the masses.
- Asin – She’s a household name down south and has played the female lead in blockbuster hits like Ghajini and Ready.
- Ritesh Deshmukh – Last film Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya, where he played the only male lead was a hit.
- Rishi Kapoor – He may not be a big star today, but Rishi’s performance in Agneepath received tremendous appreciation.
What do you think? Does Akshay Kumar deserve all the credit for Housefull 2? Will Rowdy Rathore open to a similar response? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Akshay,johny lever at their best.ahhhhh of akshay just rockssss
if movie flops then akshay will get blamed and john abraham also get blamed too and sajid khan too and asin last will be called flop like that movies credit shud go to akshay, john abraham, sajid khan and asin, so the point is akshay have to give a solo hit to be in a top league, he is still not in top 5, his no. comes after sharukh,salman,aamir,hrithik
sharukh,salman,aamir,hrithik,ajay,rambir then akshay as boxoffice is concerned but as fan follwing is concerned then akshay come before ajay
4 superstars……………………wat abt MITHUN Da……………….always bEnGaLiS r UnDeRrAtEd………….:( :/

‘Housefull 2’ rocks!
* By Taran Adarsh,(For Reported Centres only)
HOUSEFULL 2 has embarked on a flying start in the international markets. It ranks amongst the biggest openers there [see chart of ‘Biggest Openers’ below each market]. The 3-day total from international markets is approx. [Rs. 14.34 crores] …
No, it was a collective effort..
Credit in order goes to
PAPA RANJEET (I mean no one can out do his cameo..including beautybeauty betibeti scene in credits)..AWESOME..therefore he needs a Special mention
then its
1.Sajid Khan (for pulling such a confusion)
2.Akshay / John / Mithun / Rishi
3.Randhir/Ritesh/Asin/Boman
4.Shreyas Talpade
5.Jaquilene/Zarine/Padmassee
Rowdy Rathore will be B.B no doubt if its good.
Joker and Khilardi 786 are uncertain..
Akki is back.
why is ranbir even in the mix? he’s only delivered 2 clean success.
jab koi film akshay kumar ki flop hoti he tab sare akshay ka naam lete he, isi ke vajah se flop hui, ar is bar jab puri credit mil rahi he to mana kar rahe he. kyu?
akshay kumar is back, he is always in backside remains behind only and never be in front, i think he shud do multi starrers coz he cant carry films on his shoulders like khans and roshans
50% credit go 2 akki
remaining 50% to other actors
don’t forget main khiladi tu anari,mohra,yeh dillagi,khiladi,khiladiyon ka khiladi,hera pheri ,phir hera pheri,bhagam bhag,bhool boolaiya,welcome,hey babby,houseful,mujhse shadi karogi(with salman)
aankhen(with BIG B,etc)de dana dan,singh is kingh,awara pagal deewna
WAS MULTIPLE STAR MOVIE BUT THESE MOVIES WERE CREATE RECORDS JUST BCOZ OF AKKI’S STAR POWER
EVEN HE SIDELINE SALMAN IN MUJHSE SHADI KOROGI
DON’T FORGET HE ENTERED IN 4OTH MINUTE OF MOVIE IN NAMASTEY LONDON(160MIN MOVIE)& MOVIE WENT SUPERHIT,HE HAVE SUCH KIND OF STAR POWER
AKKI’S FAN JUST WAIT LITTLE MORE FOR ROWDY N ONCE UPON
ALL THINGS WILL B CLEAR TO ALL OF U
this film success due to female army.
All credit goes to Akshay Kumar.
in all actors akshay is the best hero because he can do commedy very well no another actors cann’t do so.
Akshay Kumar will get the credit out of
the the cast but most credit will go to
director Sajid Khan as the film has
appreciation and good weekend was more
to do with sustaining rather than a huge
opening day. Sajid Khan’s directed films like
Himmatwala and Judwaa 2 will have higher
expectations attached to them after
Housefull 2 than they had before Housefull 2
released.
lol John abraham wud get blamed haha. Akki wud been lambusted for its failure more than anyone, also in the movie akshay was the one who was making people laugh, he even carried the film in his shoulders and made his film, take akshay out, it wud not be half as funny. don’t tell john abraham, ritesh or shreyas pulled audience in lol. If akshay would of got blamed why shouldn’t he then credit if the film done well with a good trending? if 3 idiots as the title says can be solely credited to aamir why not housefull?
all the actors did a good job ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, akshay kumar is back
Only one khan in bollywood ajay dev khan. credit should go to him because he didnt release his film on the same day. so all credit to ajay dev khan
akshay was the main lead. balance all are supportive or second lead. If the movie flopped, it will list in flop movies of akshay. so the credit 100% goes to akshay
indicine team thank you.
counting 4 bhudda’s to make it a multistarrer when they play fathers role like any hindi film is stupid.
Akshay is back
rowdy rathode will be blockbluster.
100% credit goes to ajay dev khan for not releasing his film on the same day otherwise hf2 pungi bajjaathi agent vinod ki thara
yes akshay deserves all the credit of housefull 2 ,his presence in the picture will force the people to watch the movie and to laugh in theaters
akshay has highest fan following in male as well as female
Deepak u r wrong. Akki has’nt highest fan following. His number come after salman, srk & amir.
ya…it definetly goes to him…the jokes in the film waa not much good but he made them laugh with his act…
lets wait for akshya`s other releases to talk about his boxoffice power because this is a multi plus starer. the movie was bound to succeed because of its cast and no he can`t take full credit.
