With Housefull 2, you get what you expect. You would have seen the trailers, the previous film (Housefull) and you also know what to expect from Sajid Khan. If a loud slapstick comedy, without an iota of sense or logic isn’t your cup of tea, stay far away from Housefull 2. Oh and don’t bother reading this review either.
But the fact that Housefull was one of the biggest grossers of 2010, most certainly means, there is a huge audience for such films in India. Continuing the successful franchisee, director Sajid Khan has included more than 12 actors in Housefull 2. Does it offer double entertainment?
Housefull 2 Review
The whole point here is to keep you entertained for the film’s 150 minute odd duration and Sajid Khan does exactly that. Filled with hilarious sequences, right from Akshay Kumar’s introduction to the last wedding scene, Housefull 2 delivers unlimited laughs. The story and the situations that the characters find themselves in, has plenty of scope for comedy and Sajid Khan exploits it to the fullest.
While some scenes like those involving the crocodile and snake, were way too over-the-top, action scenes seem to have been forced into the narrative.
The music by Sajid-Wajid is good, Papa Toh Band Bajaye is catchy and easily the film’s best song. Farah Khan’s choreography is decent, but Anarkali Disco Chali is unlikely to come close to Munni Badnaam Hui popularity-wise. Cinematography by Manoj Soni is commendable.
Housefull 2 Performances
Amidst all the madness and confusion, it’s the performances that make mediocre sequences funny. Akshay Kumar stands out with a fantastic performance. His comic timing is the best, followed closely by Ritesh Deshmukh.
John Abraham, for a change, manages to express. He doesn’t get his expressions right in a few scenes, but delivers a reasonably good performance. Shreyas Talpade doesn’t get the best of lines. It was nice to see Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor sharing screen-space for the first time, they manage to entertain. As Jagga Daaku, Mithun Chakraborty is brilliant. Chunky Pandey as Pasta is funny. Johhny Lever is okay.
The girls sizzle on-screen, but have very little to do except to look at their glamorous best.
Overall, we liked Housefull 2 more than the first film in the series. The film has plenty of laughs, some good performances and keeps you entertained from start to finish. Go for it.

HF2
My friends have seen this comedy movie. They said it a rollerball comedy flick which clicks and makes you tired at the same time. They say it is better than the first HF released a few years ago, but contains same loud and same overacting by the senior fellows.
The heroines, they are made to look trendy, so as to compensate visible shortcomings. I infact entered the theatre a bit late when first half was almost over, but that was not a proper timing to go in. However, one can easily recollect what might have happened.
Some of the songs are groovy rest is just average which the front benchers enjoyed to a greater level. Akhshay Kumar usually tests patience of audience by rendering silly lines in silly style but this is not the case with HF2 he presents his lines with bearable comic strengths.
Sometimes the comedy gets a bit too much and looks and sounds senseless rollerball with many loose ends, but still it did deliver some funny notes.
The biggest problem with large cast is that each individual does not an opportunity to perform its best and rather rely on talents of others which makes a movie look like a wild cocktail
Lesser cast with better comic script and better deliverance would have made this movie a lot better, this feeling did crop up with most people who appreciated the laughter so depicted in a loud bashing style as of the first HF.
Sometimes one wonders for what purpose these heroines are inducted when they have little to deliver in a movie with mega format, falls flat. However, ZK looked very attractive rest of the gals are OK & are just fillers.
The movie delivers mish mash comedy but loud and uneven rhythm as frequently shown was a bit annoying.
In our region, the ticket sales were earlier stable but after the evening shows it declined, at main theatres.
With the type of comedy stuffed in the HF2 it should hold /bring audience for some more time.
**1/2.
akshay kumar is the best actor of the film industry so the film is hit to akshay’s starer
