SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

gurdeepmann59 This movie was an excellent sequel to HOUSEFULL (2010) with the same cast Akshay, Boman Irani, Chunky Pandey, Randhir Kapoor, Ritesh DeshmukhThis movie is just like the first with confusions and tricking people This is the first film of brothers Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor paired for the first time It has also been 25 years since Rishi and Mithun were last seen on the silver screen.Akshay and Asin are the best hero and heroine out of the film but you have expectations from a multi-starer Ritesh Deshmukh is funny Shreyas Talpade is alright Mithun, Rishi, Randhir have done extremely well The actress can get confused apart from Jacqueline Fernandez Johny Lever, Chunky Pandey, Ranjeet have done well

bobbysing It is obvious that you are not supposed to watch Sajid Khan kind of cinema with your thinking caps on. So this has to be the first requisite to watch HOUSEFULL 2 which as expected is a loud, bizarre and over the top comedy movie full of many silly & wacky sequences. Frankly HF1 was pretty lousy film which failed to raise much laughter or interest even with a huge star-cast. But HF2 is a much better attempt from the director Sajid Khan having more humorous segments distributed evenly, well supported by some good performances.However, Sajid's basic formula of making it remains the same, wherein more than a dozen characters are put together creating funny confusions with each other about their actual identities. The presentation and characterization makes the film more likable with a much better climax as compared to the pathetic end of its part one.The story revolves around 4 fathers, their 4 daughters, four sons-in- laws and their other family members or friends leading to a lot of messy confusion happening within one big mansion. The first half gives you enough enjoyable moments to keep you engrossed and the viewers looking for such kind of entertainment are sure going to like it. As a director's trademark the film has some silly comedy scenes with a crocodile and python. But luckily the crocodile works many times better than the monkey used in Houseful-1.Post intermission it takes a negative turn as it features less comedy and more avoidable drama involving characters other than the lead. Several jokes and one liners don't work and fail to create the fun as seen in the first half. Actually it's the over length of the movie and few un-required songs which bring in many uninteresting moments in its script and lessen the overall impact on the viewer. The second half has got many such unwanted sequences which should have been edited out completely as they contribute nothing in its basic storyline. For instance, Vindoo's track with a long fight sequence and the plan of creating tension between Boman and Mithun falls flat without generating any kind of laughter.Truly speaking, this time the jokes work majorly due to the witty dialogues of the script written amusingly. The entertaining confusion over the real "Jolly" works well along with the hugely catchy "Ranjeet Expression"given by Akshay Kumar throughout the film. Though the climax is a little over stretched but still it gives you enough moments to laugh and doesn't make you restless. I suppose Sajid learned a good lesson from the mistake made in the climax of HF-1.The songs as usual are deliberately inserted including the hit item number "Anarkali". In fact, the film would have been fine with only one track "Pappa To Band Bajaaye" coming repeatedly in its various segments. But since we have to sell a soundtrack of the film too so the viewers are made to see many other songs adding to its long length. Performance wise it is an Akshay Kumar film all together as the actor gets it perfectly right after a long gap. Particularly his "Ranjeet Expression" is sure going to become a craze among his fans and all Bollywood lovers living worldwide. So it's really party time for all Akshay fans. John & Akshay teaming up again after "Garam Masala" and "Desi Boyz", put up a much polished show this time. John's comic timing has improved significantly but he still needs to work more to match it with Akshay. Ritesh once again gives an immensely lovable performance not going over the top even while giving all those silly facial expressions. He is really great as the real Jolly. Among the boys,Shreyas gets the minimum mileage in his role and so does his lady love Shazahn. Yet the boy strongly proves that he has really mastered the act of comedy in his limited scenes.The brand "Housefull" is now known for using its leading ladies as mere showpieces in some revealing outfits. So the girls are there to serve the said purpose only as the glamour dolls in the project. But Houseful 2 also proves that if a heroine says no for Bikinis then you cannot make them wear it forcefully. Unlike HF1 in this second part, only Shazahn endorses the famous bikini act whereas Asin, Zarine & even Jacquelin stay away. Malaika Khan sizzles on the screen as "Anarkali" in the song but the same cannot be said for her interactive scenes.In the supporting cast, it was great watching two Kapoor brothers, Rishi & Randhir working together and I even loved Akshay calling Randhir Kapoor as "Ponga Pandit" which was the name of his hit movie released in the mid seventies. Both Mithun & Boman enter only in the second half of the movie with some marginally good scenes. But their flashback story hinders the pace and could have been easily taken out. Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey are simply superb with Chunky taking the maximum marks once again.Now revealing the best part of the movie, it is the one scene cameo of the one and only "Official Rapist of Bollywood" – Ranjeet, shining brightly in his same old famous nostalgic cunning style. And this particular scene featuring both Ranjeet & Akshay Kumar posing as Father & Son is the must watch highlight of the movie which I frankly enjoyed more than the entire film.So if you liked Houseful 1 then you already must have seen this. But in case you didn't like the first part then the good news is that despite of being over lengthy & cheeky, HOUSEFULL 2 is still a better enjoyable attempt from the two Sajids (The producer and the director).

lverby10 thanks to my laptop that i din't wasted ma money on Housefull 2...it doesn't worth big screen.... i still din't get whether movie was serious ,sad,funny,romantic,action or a thriller...actresses used fr skin show... actors acted like we r kids an will laugh by their awful actions... movie needs some sort of story dude...how come u fool house with your Housefull... its sad that because of this crap more movies will follow the formula of no story movie like after daubing series of funny action movies was startd....an we were gifted by sing ham,bodyguard etc etc...in short the good thing i movie was the use of colors...feeling pity for the people who liked the movie...... skip it!!!

Sanjay Patole Sajid Bhai, I was expecting the movie to be bad becoz I had the misfortune of watching one of your earlier movies. But believe me, even going prepared did not help.I sincerely wish to know. Do you assume your audience to dumb? The comedy is so loud that even if I were 10, I wouldn't laugh at the silly antics. There is not an ounce of intelligence in the entire movie. Even the shaky van scene (copied from, the silent movie) was so badly done. The plot was so lame. The dialogues worn out. The comedy Ultra loud. The audience today has matured. People like to see films like bheja fry. Here are some suggestions: 1) Hire a genuine writer who can come up with a good story. Half your movie is taken care of. 2) Cut out the loud comedy. Make sure people more than 10 yrs of age can watch. 3) Have someone write intelligent dialogues.I am not from film industry, but I am sure if I make a movie, it will definitely be better than housefull of crap.Lastly, I recall, I remember watching you on the telly. You had a good sense of humor. I cannot accept this from you.
