Housefull 5 Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

What’s Good: The aesthetics of the cruise look well-made, and probably the brief introduction of the characters of Nana Patekar, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff.

What’s Bad: The entire illogical plotline, cringeworthy non-funny jokes, unnecessary double meaning jokes, and the overly objectification of the female leads, the potential supporting star cast being wasted, not even the songs have a strong impact.

Loo Break: You can honestly take a loo break or also enjoy an entire popcorn and Samosa meal outside, you won’t miss a thing.

Is there any saving grace in this disgraceful comedy of terrors? Oh yes, Jacqueline, Lisa and Nargis playing three exceptionally stupid Londoners, roles that suit them to a tee-hee, get to dance to the vintage Cyndi Lauper track “Girls just wanna have fun”. Nothing prepares you for the assault on all aesthetic consideration in this mirthless, and worthless, comedy.

Nothing at all. Not even the opening when Nikitin Dheer, Samir Kochhar and Arav Chowdhary loot jewellery like they had just seen Dhoom: 2 for the third time.

Besides Akshay Kumar battling bravely to beef up the burlesque, there is no one to salvage the comedy about three losers eyeing a London Gujarati millionaire’s wealth. Or maybe ‘eyeing’ is not the right word considering Riteish Deshmukh plays blind to obtain entry...
