Housefull

is
neither
fully
gratifying
nor
a
house-of-horror
like
its
prequel
(or
its
equivalents).

Housefull
2
is
a
madcap
entertainer
that
gets
the
viewer
giggling,
yelling,
whistling
and
applauding
in
his
seat
and
you
completely
savor
the
fact
that
the
spectators
parked
around
you
too
are
utterly
engaged
in
the
chaos
and
seeking
maximum
pleasure
from
the
on-screen
happenings.

Don't
go
looking
for
a
masterpiece;
Housefull
2
delivers
what
it
promises.
Having
said
that,
if
the
editing
was
a
little
sharper,
20
minutes
snipped
off
would
have
made
this
film
even
more
hilarious.

entertains.
It
will
do
good
business
at
the
box-office.
What’s
Good:
The
entertaining
screenplay;
a
majority
of
the
comedy
dialogues;
Akshay
Kumar’s
performance.
What’s
Bad:
A
few
gags
that
don’t
work;
a
few
boring
portions
in
the
pre-interval
portion.

The
plot,
characters
and
situations
keep
the
chuckle
fest
vibrant
and
alive
and
the
audience
can't
help
getting
infected
by
the
non-stop
party
mood.

The
intellectual
class
may
call
it
'nonsensical'
and
'mindless',
but
what
the
aam
janta
expects
is
a
full-too
entertainment
and
sufficient
tummy
laughs
out
of
a
loud
masala
movie.
Promising
the
same,
here's
Sajid
Khan's
madcap
entertainer
Housefull
2,
that
might
leave
you
laugh
your
socks
off
mindlessly.

But
then
the
Housefull
crew
never
promised
us
story,
performances,
characters,
craft.
In
an
interview,
Akshay
Kumar
said
that
the
film
has
'love,
letch
and
lots
of
adventure.'
If
that's
what
you
look
for
in
the
movies,
by
all
means
venture
in.

One
does
agree
there
is
a
genre
called
madcap
comedy
and
intelligence
has
nothing
to
do
with
it.
Yet
again,
you
cannot
question
the
sensibility
of
the
cine-goers
today
and
all
one
demands
from
movies
today
is
reasonable
humour.
Go
in
with
a
promise
that
you’ll
be
entertained,
but
don’t
expect
an
exhilarating
journey.

Housefull
2
is
for
four-year-olds
who
don’t
know
any
better.
For
anyone
with
taste,
or
anyone
seeking
genuine
laughs,
there’s
nothing
here.
I’m
going
with
one
out
of
five
for
director
Sajid
Khan’s
Housefull
2.
I’d
rather
watch
reruns
of
his
TV
shows
instead;
they
were
pure
gold
compared
to
this
drivel!

Housefull
2
is
an
unfunny
mess.
It
is
shamefully
bad.
So
bad
that
Ranjeet
-
the
rapey
villain
of
yore
-
who
appears
in
one
scene,
is
the
most
dignified
thing
about
the
film.
