Housefull Has a Story to Tell
After a extended painful drought (thanks to the exam season and IPL matches) of pure uninteresting to exasperating pictures arrives Sajid Khan’s Housefull. While in totality it does fall short of being the big great summer entertainer that it is been claiming to be, it however manages to bring many laughs for you. “The fact is that critics don’t have to tell me whether my film is good or not. It is the job of the audience and they would decide if ‘Housefull’ works for them,” Sajid quoted during production.
Sajid, who also wrote the script, strains too strong to add humour to every scence. He resorts to the familiar gay and Gujarati gags. Much was expected from Sajid Khan who has been literally claiming from rooftops for weeks now that he has made the year’s biggest blockbuster. That’s because the promos of the movie have previously given you an inkling of what to expect from this film.
To give Sajid due praise, he has created many rip roaringly funny situations that are further elevated to a different level by his actors. Amongst the most hilarious sequences are most of the scenes featuring Akshay and Ritesh together.
Apart from humour, Housefull has a story to tell. The story is about pretenses, and how in the name of saving one’s face and popularity, lies lead to larger lies, stemming from wanting to impress family members. Housefull narrates the story of Aarush (Akshay Kumar), the world’s unluckiest man. Aarush is in quest of true love to turn over his bad luck for good. In search of love he gets married to the daugher of a rich man Jaih Khan. Then Sandy also falls in love with Aarush. Sandy is played by none other than Deepika Padukone. To complicate the matter Sandy’s brother played by Arjun Rampal and Hetal’s father enter the plot. Hetal is played by Lara Dutta. How Bob and Aarush come out of this mess, forms the crux of the film.
Every body does a commendable job. Complete movie housefull review is not given here.Akshay Kumar is superb as Aarush. All those who felt that the actor tends to grow loud or wishes to be restricted will alter their opinion with this film. Riteish is extremely usual. Though the story primarily revolves around Akshay, Riteish stands shoulder to shoulder with Akshay in this one. Arjun Rampal is fantastic. Deepika carries her part with amazing confidence and again she will be remembered for her performance in this one. Lara is a experienced person when it comes to comedies and she’s too good yet onceagain. Her scenes with Riteish in particular and also with Boman are first-rate. Jiah is a revelation. Although she doesn’t get much scope, she manages to register an impact.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan
