    An Average movie

    I was waiting for this movie for long and movie didn't fully disappoint me. This is an average movie but dialogs are good. One more thing you can see the movie with full family. There is no vulgarer scene in the movie. Charactores are many four heros, four heroines and there four fathers. But still Sajid directed it so well that it didn't seems overloaded. point to Sajid for that. Songs are great and sexy must watch. If we talk about acting then every actor got a small part of the movie. so there was not much of acting shown scene for most of them. But Akshay has done the same with his old movies typical Akshay comedy. Asin is good but same no bid work for her in the movie. Shazahn Padamsee is looking hot in the song. Story is not there as this is only to put all characters in one film. so they make adjustment. then some new character came and again some adjustment and so on........ But this is the movie you can watch you will not be bored with the movie. full movie is full of comedy not the best but in some place it is good. So enjoy the movie.

    Funny & Entertaining!

    A sequel to the 2010 Hit, Housefull, 'Housefull 2', Directed by Sajid Khan, is a Funny & Entertaining Film, that lives up-to the mark. Its Paisa-Vasool Entertainment, that never pretends to be anything else.

    'Housefull 2' tells the story of four fathers, four daughters and four prospective sons-in-law. 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.

    'Housefull 2' is hilarious in parts. The First-Hour entertains, while the Second-Hour, when all the characters come under one roof, is equally entertaining & funny. Even the climax, though loud, its arresting. The Screenplay progresses rapidly & each character is memorable. Sajid Khan's Direction is fine. Music by Sajid-Wajid, is fabulous.

    Performance-Wise: Mithun is a delight to watch. His portions stand out, thanks to his performance. Rishi Kapoor & Randhir Kapoor are funny. Akshay Kumar is always dependable when it comes to comedy, and he does well yet again. John Abraham is ordinary, while Ritesh Deshmukh & Shreyas Talpade are only getting better. Boman Irani scores big time in a small role. Asin Thottumkal does a decent job. Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan & Shazahn Padamsee get very limited scope. Chunky Pandey & Johnny Lever bring the house down, they are impeccable. Ranjeet's Cameo, is fun.

    On the whole, 'Housefull 2' is a complete entertainer, that's not meant to be taken too seriously. Go, Have Fun!

    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.

    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!

    A Pretty Mindless Comedy

    I hated house full n the only reason for watching this movie was free tickets and a weekend on which i had nothing interesting to do.. where should i start..?? the movie has no plot..it looks like the sajid khan's idea of a plot is to just fill the screen with many people and ask them to shout at their top of the voice.. as the movie says the so called "Dirty Dozens" aren't impressive at all.. rishi kapoor after a riveting performance in Agneepath disappoints by doing such a silly role..and the worse acting belonged to john abraham.. his cheesy one liners were pathetic..someone has to say to him he isn't good at comedy..while akshay was good in parts and the other two were passable..coming to the actresses, they had less to do with acting but more with skin show.. they were only two positives of this film chunky pandey and the veteran johnny lever.. a lame movie that doesn't deserves to be watched on big screen..
